honestly, I really can't recall the last time my plants were finished by the allotted breeder time.this STILL does not shorten time. A breeders time is a recommendation. ALL things being perfect. The best way to grow is to not even count time.I pull my plants when they are ready. I have NO clue to how long they have been in flower. the plants are ready when they are ready, you can't speed things up, you CAN fuck it up though, by pulling too early.
BTW, the first 2 weeks of 12/12 is when the plant grows the most and needs those veg nutes,not bloom. Nutes do not dictate the amount of flowering time. I don't even use bloom nutes and i get rock hard nuggs and some plants do over 1/2lb
I usually will almost always be at least a good 7-10 days past their "time"
hell I've gone a full 20 days past on some strains, in my experience almost all strains will benefit massively if allowed to fully ripen, and it's probably the third most common error for growers to pull early, 75% of the herb I see is grown beautifully but almost always really early, now other things go into the reasons, commercial grows are usually more invested in fast turn arounds and keeping it from getting molds, so they pull early.
Then you have new growers that pull early from impatience and inexperience, god knows I did my share of that growing as a teenager..
some of the best advice I got regarding cannabis was this
"if you think your plants are ready? Wait another fuckin week"
