Photo or auto either one.

I’ve only run a handful of strains but 11 weeks seems to be the average so far, I was really surprised when this one started turning so soon. I did see quite a few people say they harvested at 7 weeks when I was reading about c99 but figured they had to be harvesting half white pistils.


that jolly rancher seems to be similar to my c99. Looks like the pistils turn first then the bud swells, that or it’s gonna stay the dense compact buds.


unfortunately I held off on X-TREME defoliation this time so I’ll never know what could’ve been…

My mind is blown. 45 days from seed or from flower?
Either which way it is pretty unbelievable
I am not sure where I recorded 45 from, now that I look, Sour Boggle is 49 from flip, in flower. The Bogglegum I grew out was pretty much done after 7 weeks from flip. Lifesaver is 50 to 60.



BOG had some great strains.

There's nothing quicker than eight weeks and at eight weeks it will be ready but can go longer for a little extra buzz.

Everything I run is 60days two months but I could leave longer and all are eight week strains.

I don't see why some argue, no breeders times are accurate to the day and you don't have to leave it the longest to get some top smoke.

Assuming ruderals would be the quickest just because that's their focus in life. Lets all get along, there's no prize for the winners and although there's a perfect time to harvest being early or late a little doesn't mean it's shit.

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?
Dudes been growing buds longer than i been alive. Thats some humbling shit

My jiggler plants seem to bud fast, then ripen slowly.

I know there are some tricks like growing medium and playing with lights to get plants to mature alittle faster.

Most people want a percentage of Amber, and I don't. It's my weed, that's actually the lowest bud on the plant and I like what I like. All good. I'm answering o.p.'s question and not debating ripeness.

HSC calls it a 45 day strain and this pheno was damn close to that IMO.
I definitely agree regarding the amber percentage! I personally prefer maybe 5% amber at most, at least up til now. Maybe because I am old and fall asleep pretty easily already!

Everyones opinion of "ready" is different. I've had Symbiotic Punch Cookies be "ready" in 60 days.. Bubba's Gift cut was ready in 45-50 days..

My opinion of ready is when the buds have fully swollen, pistils are orange, trichome heads are milky/cloudy with some ambers starting, chop chop. Oh and Punch Cookies is interesting it will almost completely stop drinking & eating once its almost ready.. Carrying up the pots when that happens is not a lot of fun.

Some users on here will suggest you bloom for "another 3 weeks" when the trichomes already are ripe.

Guys if you got plants that finished in under 8 weeks we would all have that strain or cut. In a year that would be one extra crop and weight.

You seem desperate to argue, say we found a seven week then some asshat would argue he had a six week.

Same shit happened with thc, one day thc max was 30 then 35 then 40 and above but it was all bullshit!

Because an individual choose to crop at 8 weeks doesn't make the plant mature the plant is what it is but you can't claim its matured in 8 weeks, matured is generally considered ready.

Myself and another well known breeder I know each have a different 55 day pre99 DJ’s blueberry. Legit 55 day plants, I’ve ran mine too many times to count and tried longer but 55 days is where it’s at.

I crossed it with a Blue Satellite and I’m working on my F2’s currently. The best plant I’ve found from my F1’s has been a 63 day blueberry but I’m sure that 55 day is in there.
