What would delay bud ripening???

[SavageSiren420]

Hey what would cause buds to take longer to mature? The strain I have is supposed to be a fast flowering 6 week strain and its been way longer then 6 weeks and my trichomes are all still clear.

Highly unusual for any strain to be truly done in 42 days.

Just off the top of my head, maybe light leaks...???? But, I agree with growsince79, that most genetics take closer to the 8 week period....but, since you are already watching your trichomes, I would go by that

Its black sugar rose fast flower from delicious seeds. The people on the seed bank virtual chat said fast flowers are created by breeding autoflower plant with a photo period plant. There's a few different a few different seed breeders that have their own version of fast flowering plants. Idk this is the first time I ever even heard of it being a thing when I found these seeds. Lol

Based on what I could find this is just an Auto Flowering plant with an expected +/-56 day flowering time.

Those time frames are not exact. The environment and how you care for the plant have a huge effect on how long it takes to finish.

Light spectrum plays into maturity time as well. Blue-er light like 4000k and colder have had this affect on maturation. Bloom booster boards could help in improving finishing times ...

In my experience, if a plant from seed finishes when the breeder says it finishes, call the Guiness Book, because it will have been the first time it ever happened.

The temperatures of your grow area will have a big influence on rate of plant development, but if your temperatures aren't low, it's just another case of breeder finishing time bullshit.

I have heard too much nitrogen can delay budding

Just throwing this out there. Most seed makers count flowering times from when the plant starts to flower, not when changing the light schedule. From what you said you are at 6 weeks on an 8 week strain. If it started flowering 1 week from light change that's an extra week to count. So if you are at 6 weeks from light change, you still have another 2-3 weeks to be at 56 days.

If you are wanting something done quickly, you might want to try C99 (7-8 weeks) its not uncommon to have a 49 day pheno in a pack. Which would be roughly 120 days seed to harvest.

Seeds sales... not always the most legit. They could have sent you Haze.
