How many weeks does the bloom take?

 

[Keef]

Don -- It is different for each variety -- Indicas come from cooler climates where a plant has to finish fast such as the AK 47 and others -That 47 is about the number of days in bloom it takes to finish - Sativas come from more temperate areas and have a long grow season so take longer to finish -- Some can take 13 weeks or more --
U need a jewelers loop -- The way to judge when a plant is fully mature is when U see amber tricomes-- Some take them at the 1st sign of amber others wait until full amber
Sativas will give U a more trippy high and Indicas can cause more of a couch lock !-- Hybrids are crosses of the 2 -- On the seed sites such as Seedfinders.com and Leafly.com they will list about how long each variety takes to finish.
Hope that helps !

Is that like when the sex pistols explode.

Don U see the clear mushroom looking things on the plant in this pic ?-- Those are trichcomes-- That is where the THC and other goodies are !-- This shows clear trichs still developing

OK, I think I understand. I was a outside grower and when October came around it was time to pick.

Don what I do is a 4 part rotation of 60 day finishers -- I move something to bloom every 2 weeks -- After 2 months they start coming outta bloom every 2 weeks -- That way U don't get slammed with having to trim a big harvest all at once !-- There's plenty varieties to pick from that will finish in about that long !
It's hard to beat weed grown properly inside !

Keef is definitely right. Inside growing gives you better control of the climate, Lighting, everything your plant needs. Might I also add that while all plants are different. Autoflowering fem. seeds usually as a norm tell you when your plant will be ready. So if a Autoflower says 8 weeks to flower, at eight weeks your harvesting. Not is true with photoperiods. If they say 8 week flowering, that means a additional 8 weeks after it hits bloom.

You just have to judge by the trichomes on the plant. I take sativas anywhere from 8-10 weeks and indicas when they are ready meaning dark amber trichomes at least 40 %. Usually at around 8 weeks. Welcome, by the way Don.

 

[Keef]

Being a cloner I can't use Autos -- U can root an Auto clone but it is still gonna finish at the same time as the one U took it from -- Fast finishers are my jam -- Mostly indica and finish in 60 days or less -- As long as veg can keep up with a rotation I can crank it out ! -- 26 harvest per year once the rotation is up and running !

Okay.. I think I understand, I have to judge it by the trichomes on the plant.

Quick Question:
I know that you can tell by the leaves of the plant if it's a sativas or a indicas plant. My problem is, I don't know what a sativas plant looks like or a indicas plant looks like.... I sound stupid *#^? but I had some strokes a couple of years ago and I am just now getting over it....while excepting the changes it had on me.

Thank you very much

Quick Question:
During the first flowering stag I started 12 clones and they are ready to plant.

How long do I keep them on a 18 hour light?

 

[Keef]

That's up to U Don !-- I would suggest topped and bush shaped to about 18 inches-- They should just about double in height during bloom -- for Indicas more for sativas -
A pic to demonstrate this -- This is a whole plant !

Here's one that's just about to be plucked. This pic is from 2 weeks ago

 

[Rosebud]

Just depends on the room you have. If you want big plants you can veg a couple of months, if you want smaller plants you can flip them to 12/12 as soon as they are well rooted.
