seed description explanation: NIRVANA

[nasd90]

I was wondering if someone could help me regarding these 2 particular lines of the following SNOW WHITE seed description from this page: (they all look like this, I'm choosing Snow White randomly, pretty much).

Please explain exactly what the "Flowering Weeks 8/10 & Harvest Month 9/10" means.

The 8/10 is the total flowering time meaning 8 to 10 weeks. The 9/10 harvest month is a figure for outdoor growing, meaning normal harvest 9=September 10=October

Even if it's listed as an INDOOR seed ?

Also, if I'm going with a Bubbler DWC setup, wouldn't my flowering time be shortened ?

Thank you for your reply

The 9/10 info is for those who choose to grow that strain outdoors. It's all within the genetics of the seed. Since your growing indoors, just plant the seeds, let them veg at 18/6 for a couple of weeks, or how ever long you want. Then change the lights to 12/12. When you start to see flowers expect to harvest in 8/10 weeks.

I dont believe that just by using a bubbler DWS setup is going to speed up your flowering time any. Thats also mostly determined by the seeds genetics. You can always help them out by giving the optimum conditions, such as proper lighting, temps, RH, and good ventalation.

thats bullshit the seasons arnt the same in every country,but if u bought them from the same country that supplied them then its plausable..

Alright bro.. Thats just how nirvana descripts there seeds i think not all seed slingers do that but i think its kinda helpfull cause alot of peeps do indoor and out door.
The previous poster is correct to the best of my knowledge as far as flowering times in any system ur not gonna beat flower times they are depicted by the strain of the plant u chose..
However u r going to beat the crap out of soil growing in dwc or any hydro setup considering u can VEG ur plants on some strains to a foot in 2-3 weeks and then force flower by switching ur lights to 12/12 making some of the faster indicas readily smokable withing 2.5 - 3 months from seed as oppsed to the typical 3-5 months in soil.
As far as flower times indoors.. The flower times i beleive are based on research with the strains using 1000 watt HPS lamps as for something credible to shoot for..
I can say that u can add some time to flower with smaller lamps HPS..
But u make up for them on the front side with this system if u dont use a 1k.
So much to learn man join the club haha.

It's not bullshit billy b. It's just how some of the banks assist the outdoor grower. Think about it. Outdoor growers have a much shorter grow time, so you would probably want to harvest by september or october, otherwise your crop could be killed by low temps, and frost. Heres an example from another seed bank.

(Flowering outdoor: Ready around end of October in the Northern hemisphere; around end of May in the Southern.)

 

[billyblunt]

ok ur second example is right,and like i said not every country is the same.....

quote"harvest by september or october, otherwise your crop could be killed by low temps, and frost....yeah maybe in america but not in australia around that time of year novemberish is when u should be planting,so my statement stands and that post is bullshit

 

[pinspot]

so my statement stands and that post is bullshit

WTF Dude. What's bullshit? Please do let us all know what the seed companys are refering to when they state a harvest month 9/10.

 

[billyblunt]

well if im going to buy seeds and grow them out doors ,i would be wasting my money,follwing the guidelines on the packet, the optimum grow conditions in australia,now this is fact is u plant novemberish and harvest april,,now if i follow the packet cause the packet shouldnt lie,it would be telling me to plant in non optimul conditions for my country (australia) not (america),y bother ?????

whatever country the seeds were sold in that is the right harvest months for that country...............not across the board

Hey fella's I appreciate the info... I gave you all some fat REP.

While we're on the subject of seed descriptions, I was wondering how they come up with the TCH Content... such as in this case for Snow White:

THC level: Strong 15-20% ??

Thanks!

 

[pinspot]

Dude, The original question in this post was,{ Please explain exactly what the "Flowering Weeks 8/10 & Harvest Month 9/10 means.} You responded with {I don't know}.I believe I responded with the correct answer of 8 to 10 weeks flowering time and harvest month 9=september 10= october.
If you don't know wtf your talking about, don't be telling me my post is bullshit. Nobody ever said anything about the geography that Nirvana is refering to about the harvest dates. the question was, what does it mean?

gas chromography testing is the only thing I'v ever heard of for measuring THC levels. all done in a lab. No clue how they go about it.
