Plant not appearing to ripen. Help!

The seed seller says 8-10 weeks .. which I’m taking with salt based on comments from growers online, but 17 seems excessive.

Other than Mephisto (and only then on some cultivars) you can generally take the breeder's estimate as 1-2 weeks short.

Not to mention, is that listed as seed to harvest or flowering time? Big difference in the two, as some autos veg longer than others.

Pop to chop.

They list “56-70 days flowering”

Things like incorrect nutrients/lights/etc can play a part in bud formation.

From the pics it sorta looks like you may have too much light and too little/locked out nutrients, but I'm no expert.

For an auto? So it's a 90- 105 day auto? That's unusual.

Not necessarily, there's plenty that go 100+ days.

How long ago did they start flowering? Not showing sex, actually getting to that pompom buds stage? Thats where you want to base your time off of.

Regardless, the plants will tell you when they're ready. Sounds like they've got some more bulking up and maturing to do. Patience is the name of the game with these ladies.

Sorry for the repeated posts lol. Based on a quick Google for grow diaries of that strain/source, it looks like there's several instances of it going 19+ weeks.
