Heading into week 7 flower soon and these girls are looking behind schedule. The place where I got it from says it should take 8 - 9 weeks. What do y'all think?

It’s misleading advertising rather than a slow plant, most likely. Plants are rarely finished by the breeders advertised window. I typically add two weeks or more in my mind before they’ve even sprouted these days. Yours should definitely go two weeks or more beyond the advertised times. Plants go by their own calendars.
they look real good. Lots of filling out to do.

Thank you for your input! I'm hoping the buds will get a bit bigger!

Oh, they should. The last few weeks are really fun to watch them really bulk up.

That's not true. Some get much bigger.

I bet you chopped a bit early. Based off the first pics I would've waited probably a month.

A month on top of the 9 weeks already?

I meant about a month after the first pics which you said were the beginning of week 7. I might've even went a little more than a month. This is 7 weeks for my GG4 but I'm giving them another 2-3 weeks. I like to let the calyxes swell up first.

Wow that looks amazing! I have another plant in the tent that I’m letting sit for another week. Maybe even two more weeks. I still see a lot of white hairs

That's looking good. I'd say 3-4 weeks if it was me. It's hard to go too long.

How long do you typically flower for? 10-13 weeks?
Cousin Bo

It's totally up to the plant. I'm probably gonna chop that GG4 next weekend which would make it 9 and 1/2 weeks. As a general rule I usually estimate they take about 2 weeks longer but sometimes it's way more.

12 days of drying my buds were reading under 10% on my moisture meter, but were not really brittle. The stems were snapping with a bit of force so I decided to bag them up today. I use a electric trimmer, results were ok. Nothing beats hand trimming. My thing is my buds still felt a bit wet and really sticky. Did I bag them too early?
