Looks fire bro what week are you into? New to the growing but i know sativas can usually take 10-16 weeks to flower. All depends on genetics but dont lose your track on weeks that pass. Might b a keeper - VBZ

If you grew it from seed, different seeds could be different phenos and take totally different lengths of time to mature. Cuttings from the same plant are genetically identical so they will all mature together. Sativas are worth the effort, don't give up on her! Few people even get the chance to smoke pure sativa anymore because they can take so long to mature-the traits of short flowering and big production are overly emphasized by the commercial cannabis industry. It's like how conventional tomatoes are grown in bulk and taste like crap compared to homegrown heirlooms.

I did grow this plant from a seed. All of the other plants that started with this one are already harvested, cured and are good smoke. I am definitely not giving up on her. She is by far the best plant as far as looks and smell goes I have ever grown. She is covered with crystals also
Thank u so much for your advice. I really appreciate it !! Happy growing everybody ;)

Do you know what strain it is?

Some sativa's can take 20 months or more but are well worth the wait. You're a long way from harvest. Don't get obsessed with the trichomes as some sativa's won't go amber. And sometimes when you think they're done they'll shoot out a new flush of pistils and just keep on flowering. I've had to cut the light hours to 10/14 to get some sativa's to finish.

The thing with sativas is you have to be prepared to put in the time if you're going to grow them. But if you do you'll have something special.

Sit back and wait. Like @steve870 said you have at least a month.

Good luck

Most sativa's come from regions where they veg with sun times ranging from 12 and 1/2 hours to 13 and 3/4 hours, and they flower with sun times ranging from 12 and 1/4 hours to 9 and 1/4 hours. Anyhow... when I grow my lambsbreath, I veg her at 13 hours, and flower her at 10 hours because if I didn't do that she would take 22 to 24 weeks to finish at 12 hours! So I use 10 hours in flowering so she finishes at around 15 weeks, like she should! That's why them old school Jamaicains call their weed, "longtime" weed, :lol:
