I’ve been having some deficiency issues recently so the leaves are a little funky, but this might actually be done in 8 weeks. I’m gonna let it go 9 minimum just in case

C99, coir, led, GH trio, 7.5 weeks.

What’s the fastest strain you’ve had? I can’t imagine anything being done much sooner than 8 weeks.

my fastest finisher is an Urkle cross. I usually take them down at 9 weeks. never seen anything that was actually done at 8 weeks. commercial ops might beg to differ, but I'm not growing for money so 'close enough' isn't my style.

I'm answering o.p.'s question and not debating ripeness.
That's the problem... How can a discussion occur about the existence of a "legit 8 week strain" if everybody is using their own, relatively arbitrary, definitions of ripeness? I think it's the main reason that this discussion never has a satisfactory resolution. That, and the fact that a lot of people are super impatient.

For the same reason the music played in your house is different than the music played in my house; personal preference. I prefer my weed to be ripe and not well-done like most of you.. and, if there's a thread about "Tell me about a sub-8 week strain you've had" and your reply is "I ain't had or seen one", then you're not adding to said discussion. Just sayin.

it's adding something if I've been growing since 1992 and haven't seen one. hundreds of stains, thousands of phenotypes, S1s through F6, and I've never seen one. how is that less relevant and contributory than your opinion about plant maturity?

Some phenos of Pakistani Chitral Kush

They exist but you likely won't get anything other than claims from the latest hyped backyard breeder.
my chitral x Skunk cross is usually a 9 to 10 week. I really wish I could get a more Pakistani leaning pheno out of it.
