sativa question

I’m growing pure sativas for the first time with a golden tiger and a kali mist.

I’m now 6 weeks into flower, and have a general question.

I’m aware sativas take much longer, but my question is do they generally take longer to develop buds or just longer to finish?

I’m asking because at 6 weeks the golden tiger buds are enormous, much bigger than a hybrid Im growing with them, but the kali mist is still popcorn land even though its a much bigger plant.

Both look very healthy.

Just trying to figure out if I should be super excited about the golden tiger or disappointed with the kali mist.

nice to have RIU back.

if you got pics that will help...js

also if those are true sativas, they're go time is usually 10 to 12 weeks to finish sometimes they will go longer....js

This is mostly strain/genetic dependent, with a small part in environmental conditions.
Sativa generally takes longer to initiate the flower process under the same light cycle as Indica or hybrids. Afterwards they also generally take longer to complete the flowering process, growing less dense buds with long 'foxtails'. This is just in general and still mostly strain/genetic dependent.

This is what Im looking at. The GT is in the front and kali mist is the back. Im not looking for tips or anything. Both plants are doing fine, but if this helps I always appreciate a take. I’ve been wanting to grow that kali mist since I tried it in Amsterdam like 25 years ago. I’d be bummed if that plant only winds up producing a few ounces. Kind of hoping its just a late bloomer.

very nice, and from the looks of them they are just getting started, the one in the back is gonna grow up some more, the one in the front as well.

nice work....

Thanks, and love to hear that take. If these have a long way to go still I may get full blown coke can buds on that Golden Tiger.

I find it hard to grow outdoors when its 10 below though

Come harvest time, you will know if the Kali had poor genetics. The flowers could develop into something impressive, or not.
