Why are my flowers maturing so slow

[Skyhound]

Good genetic , breeder says 55 days , people in grow diaries average 69+- days, mines gonna take 110 days


Humidity always within 55% , temps are 23c ( 74F ) , im using leds light , this on in specific at 30 cm https://cre.science/en/product/the-halo-fluxengine-x4/ .


I did one thing wrong, i only gave nuts at 50% the recommended dose and ended up with some def. in the plants .


Could any of this be a motive for the flower to take so long to mature ( pistils and thrichomes ) its the second time with same genetic and same problem

I like picure books

also I dont know why anyone follows breeder times. they are only a sales tactic , your actions directly effect the outcome time frame

in this case i saw grow diaries and the average a 2 week longer about 69 days . Mine is gonna take 110 days , thats a lot more and i need to find out why, u think giving only 50% nuts could have made this ?

usually the pace of the plant is dictated by environment. it will ripen when its ready, however if you give it a happy life it may ripen faster. I doubt you and another person will have exactly the same finishing time. different light, nutrients, watering schedule, ect.

does it lean more sativa? they flower much longer

more indica 75 to 80% indica

 

[kovidkough]

do you have any photos of your plants, have they experienced any deficiencies ? light leaks? many many things can cause an extended flower period

 

[kovidkough]

how are you certain of 110 days? your at what now?

 

[Skyhound]

they suffered from def. i corrected nuts to 100% but only on week 5 or 6 of flowering , no light leaks , u can see pictures in this post i created also if u can please https://www.rollitup.org/t/how-much-longer-till-harverst-1-week.1040340/#post-16006065

day 87 people are saying 2 more weeks and i almost dont have amber only milky

 

[kovidkough]

looks like Phsophorous deficiency, what are you feeding? they need phosphorous to flower so I'm assuming your buds stalled out

87 from flip?

stalled is synonim to frozen in time ? is 87 from flip

 

[kovidkough]

yes im guessing they are having a hard time finishing , is your goal 50 milky/ 50amber ?

if your at 87 days from flip its most likely your in week 10, or 70 days into flower, this is why people suggest 2 more weeks its possible , they are pulling all the stored energy they can to finish , I think 2 more weeks is correct that will put you at week 12 or 84 days. other grow diaries may pull earlier depending in the farmers goals

too much calcium can lock out phosphorus. are you certain about the PH of your feed this could be another source of problems.

 

[kovidkough]

I would pull a few buds lets them dry properly and test it. by the time they dry you will know if you can harvest and they will have aged abit. no shame in pulling an apple off the tree to taste it

i did that , ph is fine always between 6.2 and 6.5

do you have any source of excess calcium.? are you in soil? tap or RO?

You don’t very much power behind that light according to the specs.

Do u think 30 cm distance from the tops is to short , do u think it could interfere with maturation
