well, seedsellers are in it for the business, and 8 weeks is long enough for Some tastes and sounds better.
i dont go by breeders advise or even date, i just grow them till they look ready and smell ready. besides ive harvested them at all stages and i know exactly when its just beginning to be smokable and when its to my taste.
unless im revegging and then i just do them till seeds are ready or i have begun to be afraid they wont survive if i flower them longer.
ive considered using a magnifiers glass, but what does colour tell me? each strain is different, amber on some will suck for some and so on.
besides, you can cut off a tip of a bud and the bud will heal and keep on growing, in fact im beginning to believe it actually makes the plant flower harder. by doing this i kept myself in smokes for almost the whole 2 months of flowering and still had plenty by harvest time from only 3 plants..
so i like just testing. |
