If your looking for an easy answer like "Yes they're done" or "no they're not" it doesnt work like that. Only you can really tell for sure if they are done and it involves checking the Trichomes with a scope.

yeah, those plants are going to need time. They look very healthy but are not showing the signs of a mature plant

i understand there is no yes or no answer my brother just failing to understand why these stains are taking 12+ weeks to finish

Some strains can take upwards of 12 weeks especially the Sativa line. But looking at the strains you have here they are more of a Sativa/Indica hybrid and the girl scout cookies in particular from Cali-Connect are advertised as fast finishers at 55-60 days. ( At least thats the claim ) Sometimes a breeders estimate is a little over ambitious.
So, I kinda think they probably should have been done by now too. What kind and how much lighting have you been using on these girls ?

Using 1 1000 hps ,1 400 mh 1 400 hps all both air cooled feed extermly lightly with general organic week 1-7 and clean water the last 2 weeks.Temp is rough 80 to 82 in day and 70 at night sometimes dropping to 67 humdity gets a little high sometime bounces bettween 45 and 60. problem seems when it hit's the breeders estimated window to ordor is so strong it is unbearable but there is no swellling by the time they swell the ordor is usually gone and in week 12 +.

What's your grow area size?

5x9

Just throwing this out there but I was using an amino supplement high in nitrogen and the plants were taking longer to finish out so I stopped, and also I have in the past harvested plants in a F&D tray leaving a few to finish but stopped all nutes and only to have them take ages

Thats crazy. The way your plant looks it might go another 4 weeks. 16 weeks from flip is way to long in my book mate. Most of my strains take only 9 and a half. I Won't be buying those strains. But your plants do look really nice.

Are u sure your not counting from seed?? Because after the veg phase its about 6-9 weeks but thats after 4-6 weeks of vegging.

 

[dudeman710]

Awfully sure start off in 2 gal bucket in veg for 4 weeks under 400 mh than a week before flipping transplant into 5 gal when flowering starts switch to 1 1000 hps ,1 400 hps and 1 400 mh all air cooled in a 5x9 area and finish off.They started flower 4-7 feed up to week 7 than backed off giving nothing but water . These strains should had been done early this month maybe mid but no way end whats strange is 1 and 2 of gc are same plants and the top of 2 is "new" yet bottom half is just starting to swell at this point..

any suggestions on strains and companys that will finish in 9 weeks for sure? Am looking for strains to deal with the sensory nerve damage and arthritis joint pain.
