i don't see why you couldn't.

did you buy these seeds from somewhere? were they advertised to have a certain flowering time? it seems to me that a company would advertise their product as having a shorter flowering time to make it more appealing to a potential customer.

if i were you i would go by the pistils and trichs.

good luck to you sir!

flowering period is an average or an estimate. you go as long as you need to, just keep an eye on the trics. you want them to be mostly milky in color with about 30% amber trics, thats my own preference tho, u can also go tell when to harvest just by watching the pistols, when the vast majority are red then ur good to go,

Yes you probably should the flowering dates are only put there as a guideline! Try and het yourself a magnifrier and check the trichs, read up on how you can get a different high from different high from different trich coulors and decide which suits you best then harvest!

yeah... i agree with everyone else and just use the recomended flowering period as a guidline as to when i should start my flush for the first grow with a new strain, and just keep an eye on the tric;s

Pistle color means nothing.They will change color when it cures. Trichome color is all that matters.All cloudy=peak THC production and a head type high.Cloudy+amber= a more body,stonier high.

Oh sorry i just flick threw your post the first time, we couldnt really tell you when your trich will change coulor with out pictures or some info on what lights your using because if say an 8 week strain was flowering for 8 weeks with not enough lumens of light it could take alot longer to flower! So we need some info on grow conditions or pics!
