what? why? Makes things more confusing....not that it is but why not run a 9 week plant 10 weeks and 3 days? I really don't run a plant by the number of days anyway.....the trich's tell the story. I have some Red Cheese that I am about to move into 48 hrs of darkness before harvesting. I checked the trichomes this morning and about 70% are amber and a few were rust looking......perfect for my taste. I have a Ghost Express that I started at the same time and it could use a few more days. The longer you leave them the more of a couch lock effect you get. I wish I had a decent camera but I'm not in to photography. Camera takes good bud shots but not close ups.
