It all depends on the type of weed you are growing. Inidca Dominant Plant will finish 7-11 weeks after flower. Sativa on the other hand has a bit bigger range, about 10-15 weeks
My plants are 10 days into flowering and just starting to populate with hairs, I think the average is 2 months after you start harvesting maybe give it a couple weeks more to see if buds get any bigger, then if you want to dry your buds the very best way could take you another month before you smoke
there is no way to speed flowering times. You could grow hydro and that will speed up the total harvest time by increasing the growth rates in veg and it will probably give you a bigger harvest but you can not change the flowering times of a strain
You need to get a scope from radio shack when you get a chance. Its only ten bucks and it will surely tell you when your plants are truly ready by the trichs. Dont rush them but remember you can always sample your product along the way to see what kind of high you most enjoy. Good luck with your grow...Sooner than you know you will be smoking your very own weed AND then you can put your money towards books and stuff for school. lol. Good luck.
I dont even know the strain I grew it from a seed I found in a bag but guess I'll just take good care of it the rest of the summer. Might have to have mom watch it for me during those last few weeks lol
I'm having some probs putting up the pics I guess I have to resize them but I have to go to work now so I'll resize and post them later. I'm really curious as to what strain it could be?
