First Day of Flower Poll

[Johnny Rotten]

Nokturnal, Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't go back and edit everything so you don't seem so out there. I'm fine with being the dickhead but don't try to go back and make yourself look better.

Breeders (not all) are clearly low-balling when it comes to flowering times. It fits that the strains usually go 10-14 days over after switched to 12/12, but match up perfectly when taken outside and days counted from the onset of flowering.

It's all semantics when it comes down to it. The loupe tells all and even still you can't get a consensus between growers on when to pull strains, even the same clones.

I'd just like a bit of congruency with the whole deal. If everyone just counted from beginning of flower formation, it would make a whole lot more sense in the grand scheme of things. I know most growers are indoor growers but i can guarantee this will change when the laws loosen up a bit.

Only edited to explain better, since we where on different pages, you just post so damn fast hehe =)

Why doesn't everybody smoke a doobe and chill out a lot of hostility for a forum that concentrates on mj growing and smoking.

Breeders Pk recomendations for flowering times are for optimal grow conditations dialed in to a T !!

ultimatly it's really upto the grower when the plants come down and the conditation of the trichromes. i pull mine right at the begining of the swell before chop thier just startn the little pillars i call them lol. if i let mine go another 10-14 days they would be stright up couch lock my sugar shack is couch lock at 50 days. sit to long after smoken and 2 hrs just flew by but get up do something and it's creative !!.

its really upto the grower and his/hers preferances for a high and pain management and the conditation of the trics

I ignore breeder suggested harvest dates altogether, and go on a plant-by-plant basis.

THere are too many factors involved to even cut multiple plants of the same strain on the same day. Some finish a little early, others a little later.

The same strain grown by different growers, using different methods will result in different finish times.

Plants are living beings and as such are affected by environmental changes and abnormalities, just like people. There is no 'end all' method, I let the plant tell me when its ready. For me, that means a good mix of clear and cloudy with a few ambers, for most strains anyway

In fact for me doesn't matter when flowering starts... because i harvest using a microscope and sometimes I take samples when I think the time should come.
Sometimes I even forget when I flip to 12/12... I can only guess around which date it was.

More options. Yea I count by 12/12 for the hell of it no matter what, but I really go by trichomes at the end also.
