curious101 Reviewed by curious101 on 05-16-2007. Question about strains' flowering times I have always wondered...if a breeder says a plant takes say 50 days to harvest...does day one start when the 12/12 is started or when the first flowers appear? Rating: 5

Day 1 doesn't mean shit. You can go 7 weeks with one set of seeds, and 8 on another of the 'same' strain. And some sativas take 10 -12 to finish. I've got a Columinan that took 3 weeks of 12-12 and then another 2 weeks of 10/14 yes that's 10 hours of light... before SHE showed. Go fucking figure. Just grow and take markass' advice which always works. You gotta check your plants towards the end, and when you think that your there... check again...

sorry i cant be of more help, but i dont even count the days, just a close guess. when they are ready to your preference then harvest.
