Hi there, I’ve been growing for many decades, (legal state) but I have a specialized question for all of you outdoor experts out there: IF a cannabis plant is being pollinated naturally from windblown pollen (not a herm), will it flower for longer than usual in order to try to pollinate more buds….like for a month longer than it would if it were un-pollinated and all other variables equal??
Backstory- I’ve grown many cycles/years of Rare Dankness GTH#1 and Dutch Passion’s Amnesia Haze, and I am so familiar with both strains I dont even scope them to harvest or adjust any settings….so….last year I crossed them both (AH male x GTH female) and the haze-cross results were fantastic in my growroom (1/3CMH + 2/3HPS and no CO2), ladies were harvested after 11 weeks of flowering to 90% milky/10%amber
So this year, I had a clone from this same mom left so I put her outside, she started flowering around July and in the past, either parent-strain grown outdoors would’ve already been finishing or chopped, but this hybrid has at least 3-4 more weeks. Is it because the crossing activated more sativa-ish traits in the progeny, or because she’s developed a sparse few seeds that she’s taking soooo long? About 70%clear/30% cloudy and no calyx swelling currently
