Cut off a limb and trimmed the buds. When I was done the scissors were red like blood lol.

Well they appear to be possibly starting to cannibalize the leaves. Everything on the buds appears to be milky. I took off a limb to test it but it's not dry yet. I personally have never seen buds turn so dark. The smell is definitely very earthy. I so want her to be done lol.

Well I'm tired of waiting any longer on my plants. I'm giving them 2 weeks. Then they come down. My buds in no way resemble the shown product on the website. They are supposed to be green and mine are black as night. It's also an early finisher. One of its appeals. I'm on week 18 after flip and it seems goofy.
Any thoughts.

Hi! They look good to me but yes its always a pain when they dont resemble what the seller says. The colors get a pass in winter, sometimes you get blues in strains with no blue but thats normal. How far away are the lights and at what potency? Also that stuff that is in the scissors, I smoke it. Its a bit like herbal hash but gives nice head buzz, you cant use much cause its wet though but you dont need much.
Ive had problems with strains not finishing in time, sometimes it was the bank sometimes it was my fault. If they are getting too much light they might take forever to finish or just keep growing new bud on top of old bud, if they have too little the buds might be a bit airy and not as tight as you would want, both things can delay harvest. Reducing light to fasten harvest works but it has to be done at a very specific time, when they already fattened, otherwise it will just take forever.

My 450-watt light is around 16 inches away at 80%.. I have noticed looking at buds that if they are laying almost flat the undersides have some green areas . Otherwise the rest is crazy dark purple. I would have to say at this point they are through fattening. So if I lowered light intensity how far down would I go?

At this point, you can remove half an hour of light and pull the lights higher or dimm them a little bit more. That should make them hurry up a little thinking winter is close. I use 2 150W panels at 100% more or less at the same height as you but when the fattening is done I reduce half an hour of light and sometimes pull the lights higher too because its good to give them a lot of light when theyre fattening but after that so much light is not great as they might continue to put out new growth, reducing light makes them think winter is closer.
That said, I would totally harvest those if they are milky.

Thats just my 2 cents though! Hahaha! There’s 98 cents still left to make a dollar LOL! I think if you got some milky it’s getting close! : )

Took off 1/2 hr and lowered intensity from 80 to 60%. We will see what happens.
They are still clear to milky. Probably like 50/50.

Oh if its 50/50 they definetely need more time, something either stunted them or they are just chilling thinking its gonna be summer/autumn forever, some strains do that. I had that happen with old bag seeds too, when I see that they take 3 weeks in seedling stage I already know what Im dealing with. Another sign of old seeds is pale yellow stains. I know that seeds, if properly stored, can last for a very, very long time, but theyre not always properly stored. Even if they have them in a dark, cool place, if they dont package them correctly and theyre bumping into each other thats gonna be a problem in the long run, I have not noticed that problem with banks that package them separately or tight them up so they cant move.
EDIT: As an example, I get a lot of freebies and I have them lying around for years sometimes. They barely move, only when Im digging for what to plant next, but I have found broken seeds inside the not great packages. They probably dont put them in there until the order is done, but still, thats not good during transport or for long term storage.

Well, then you better not chop! Don’t want bear dogging you forever after! At least take a little piece of it! I was just more or less backing your play! Coming up on half a year to grow a plant indoors makes you wonder!

Eliden brings some good info to the table, they could just be stalled out. I was thinking along the lines of dropping temps and cutting watering but am not sure if that’s a good idea or not.

that be an indoor thang! But if I was Phreaker I would be willing to try anything that contained a modicum of common sense! To get this long, running show on the road and to the curtain call!

Things are going along well with my grow thanks to the patience of the people here. My questions have always been answered with a strong positive vibe. The members have brought me to a place where I can trust myself and my judgment. You all will never understand my gratitude. Here is a pic of where my grow is at. I'm guessing another 4-6 weeks till they are ready.
Click to expand...
They look great! makes me a bit excited to put mine in flower. I just harvested my Epsilon and my Purple Queen will be ready in a couple of weeks. I'm going to finish my Auto's up before I start to flower my OG Kush. I also started a Biscotti. My thinking was that My OG Kush should finish up before my Biscotti. Cross my fingers lol. I've been wanting to try the Biscotti for a few medical reason, it sounded like it might be a good fit for medicinal purposes. So do you feel growing for yourself was a good idea? I'm pretty pleased other than seeing all that expense it took getting started. I'm sure that sticker shock will fade in time. But, for now. Damn that's some expensive bud lol. I got nerveous after starting to flush and cut off nutrients. About a week into it I ended up feeding them nutrients and burned the leaves so I may have rushed harvest but the terpenes have a pretty good percentage that are white maybe 65 to 80% so the THC should be close to optimal. Good luck finishing up your grow. Keep me updated if you don't mind.

I have an OG Kush started for my outdoor season. Is yours really small? Mine is doing good but just seems tiny. I will keep this updated as my time goes on.
