Do bigger plants require more time?

this strain (Romulan) typically requires a little more than 10 weeks. Im at week 12 on 5 plants that survived a bad cloning. They were very big at the start. Largest I have ever done with this strain but also the longest. As you can see they aren't ready.

Dude that looks like a nightmare to deal with, holy cow!
It is hard to tell with this photo. But the flowers look very undeveloped and the canopy is a mess!

I'll try to be more clear. I only had 5 good clones after killing to batches. These 5 got too big before I started. Also I know they look messy. They eere getting into the light and I had to pull em down with the net. But my question is...these plants should have been done. Do larger plants take longer to finish?

I have never noticed a cut taking longer to flower simply due to it's size. That would be new to me. Maybe the lighting cycle was interrupted at some point, lengthening the flowering cycle?

One tip for ya, try a trellis like hortitrellis next time. It's WAY better than that string shit.
 
Follow up... These plants produced 6.5 oz per plant which is the best I have ever gotten for an indoor grow. I can only conclude that larger plants do in fact take more time to mature. It was well worth the wait since it was much more than I usually get. Now I'm re-thinking my plant size to plant quantity ratio. It took 16 weeks. Outstanding quality result.

As renfro said , it should not matter the plant size. That would not have made them take longer , something else was going on too. Constant lst will make um take a bit longer but not like that. they looked very healthy so i see why they finished so good.
Did you recently switch lighting for this cycle ? them under powered blurple lights seem to slow things down quite a bit.

No change in lighting but as Xtsho said, I did go to no N from the 7th week to end. Hmmm..

No nitrogen will show but it cant speed or slow the flower process down. im stumped. like renfro said , maybe the lighting cycle messed up for a couple days unnoticed. not sure.
