How long do you flower this strain?

I took my first crop at 66-69 days. The Green House Seed Co states "9 weeks will guarantee rock hard tops". Many different seed bank websites say let it go for 10 weeks for maximum quality.

By 66 days the tops of every single plant were growing out flowers and, well, going bad basically. I'm a relatively inexperienced grower, so I'm not sure of the correct terminology, but if you flower a plant for too long the tops start to really morph and change. The structure of the buds changes entirely. I was told that when the tops flower like that the THC drops pretty bad too.

If you've never experienced this my terminology is a bit confusing because when a plant flowers it creates buds. Buds are a synonym for flowers. But a friend of mine who's been growing for 14 years used the phrase "the buds are shooting up flowers".

If you are an experienced grower and you've overgrown a batch or two you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. In which case, feel free to educate me as to what the hell is going on with my plants.

Anyways, here are some details... ez-cloner to coco coir, 4 week veg under 400's, SOG flower under 600's. 3 part GH, Liquid Karma, CalMag+.

It was pretty sickening. I had a boatload of 12"-14" cola's. I tried to save as much as I could, but I threw out a half a pound of the tops. And by "threw out" i mean gave them to a friend to make hash. Without this tragedy this would have been about a pound off of a 600w HPS.

If you've grown White Rhino (or know someone who has) I'd like to know how many days you're flowering them. thx, peace
