Will my Sugar Haze ever finish?

[RackitMan]

I know this is a rhetorical question just displaying my impatience.

This is is my first time growing a pure sativa strain and was the wrong choice for my situation (seeds were 'free'). Are any of you other newbies listening?

Planted her in February, vegged for 5 or 6 weeks. She is tall, lanky, but healthy and is getting plenty of light. There are a dozen or so buds which are grape-sized, except for the top cola which is about 10" and the thickness of my thumb, but has no weight whatsoever.

Looks like she could still be another 6-7 weeks. Just looking for assurance that this is 'normal' and that she will indeed, fill out before Christmas. Will growth accelerate near the end?

Thanks!

Short question: is 16-18 weeks of flowering abnormal for a Haze strain?

pure sativas take a loooooong in flower before they finish.... usually 12 - 15 weeks or more.

nope, sounds about right, actually ... I had a Willie Nelson go over 16 weeks, and still wasn't finished ... I finally got tired of looking at the over-rated bitch, and chopped her down :mad: ... :smokin:
