How long did your Afghan Kush Ryder take to finish?

Just doing trying to do some research and can't find much on harvest times (from seed) for afghan kush ryders. The web site/description claims 55 days from seed. I havn't seen too many people finish one in 55 days, but I have a few of them going right now at about 44 days from seed that look as though they might finish by then or close. My question for all who have grown this strain is: How long did it take from seed to harvest for your Afghan Kush Ryders:?:

Here are a couple pics of the more mature ryders I have going. Looks to me like a couple more weeks maybe less, but waiting on a microscope in a few days. Whats anyone think?

55 days from seed is nonsense. Wait 70-75. Pistils start receding and calyxes swell up increasing your weight. I made the mistake of harvesting a week or so early last time. If you have the means to wait, do it. Unless you need green, speed-dried bud with a quickness.

Other than the waiting game you're going to have nice bud by harvest from that pic. My AKR is looking sad and sick due to PH issues.

Well, about a week before this post mine were looking sad and sick as well. Some of them are a week behind. I have like 5 that are like the pics. The other ten are anywhere from a couple days to a week behind. I made a mistake and used my tap water. Although I adjusted the ph, but it was high ppm and I didn't know but it took about 3 weeks and the salt buildup was locking out my girls Only the strongest 5 were not phased. After a solid flush the other ones came back and are pumping out buds so don't hate on your sick gals.

Oh I know man autos can get hurt so easy for a hearty plant I've got AR and CJ bummed burned so feel good yours looks great !
Also I have never had any of my autos ready when the breeder or seed bank said the mans correct 70-75 days.

Thanks for the compliment! Im thinking the mature ones will go at least until v-day, which would bring them to about 65 days, but they have been growing optimally compared to the other 10 or so. The one tricky thing about autos that I have found, is that the window of time is much smaller to solve any issues they are having. Since they aren't photo dependent and are on their own timeline, a small mistake can affect them much more.

Looks nice. I just got some Afgan, and it's really really nice. What a great stone to go to bed with. A great nights sleep, not sure how the day would be, but I don't have a big tolerance.

Enjoy....nice job.....just cure them in jars for at least 30 days after a dry and fine manicure....yum.

Did i read that right? You harvested 9.5 oz off 2 AKRs alone? If thats the case then thats fan-fucking-tastic...

Sure they weren't a little wet? I dont think I've ever heard a AKR producing that much. thats almost 5 ozs a plant. If you really did that then you should write a little "how to" guide on akr's to show us how the big boys do it!

I have called shenanigans on Mr. 70'sdiver His plants must have been grown in a 20 gallon pot under 2000 watts of light.

Im gonna do a post tonight for everyone. Ive only had one plant produce less than 2 oz. That was a lowryder2 and it was 1.9 ounces.when i dry my plants they get 3 days in a controlled tent and 3 days in paper bags then go to jars. At most i dont lose more than 1 percent in the jars after a 4 week cure. I wet weight one plant at 469 grMs trimmed . That plant dried at 4 oz. So a little over 75 percent loss from green trimmed. I'll explain how I do my grows in the post this evening . Itll have pics. Aldo my journal is on auto flower network under indoor growing.

i wanna see the pics of these quarter pound AKRs. thhats such complete crap its insane hahahaha ive ran that strain and like 5 others of the "best biggest yeilding auto flowers" on the market and the most your guna pull of an auto would be a couple oz's and thats outdoors. do you dry your budds at all before you weigh them? where are the pics 2 back it up? you only have a couple pics of the tips of a couple budds.....hahahahaha wheres the rest of the plants that are producing QPs?

Pretty sure i seen 70's guy post somewhere else , could be somone else but, he did pull a nice yeild as i seen around 4 1/2 tall mason jars stocked with it from 2 plants worth. If your the same guy who's thread i came accross that is ...

i ran 2 akr's, one was tall, skinny with skinny buds gave just over 20g of pure fire, COVERED in sugar, finished in 10 weeks from sprout..
the other was a big auto yeilding 42g of solid fat buds.. done in a hair over 11 weeks..
these stupid sounding yeilds from auto's are acheivable.
