I’m very grateful for you and your staff and website. I’ve read a rule of thumb was for harvest time 8 wks for indica and 10 for sativa. What are some of the breeds that appear done yet are still not in the optimum window? One plant resembles blueberry kush ( at least a couple of the pics do)looks like 70% or so brown hairs yet all kushs seem to say outdoor flowering time mid to late oct. I get hung up on stuff like this. Like everyone I just want the best for my efforts. thanks!
8 weeks yesterday
Scotty,
Sativa takes longer than 10 weeks most of the time. It is best to monitor the trichomes with a 60-100x pocket microscope or a jeweler’s loupe.
