Sour Diesel: I need input on flowering time.

I've been combing the web about this strain but figured only the people of GWE would know the answer to my question, to any question really. This strain is supposed to take 10 weeks to mature...so they claim on the google...
In your experience growing sour diesel what is the number of flowering days that really worked or that you'd recommend?
Thanks!
 
That sounds about right. It should be a little over 2 months in the flowering stage. I dont know the exact number of weeks (because i didnt keep a good journal). I only use the the info from the breeder as a guideline. I determine harvest times by looking at trichomes and bud size. When the buds start bulking is when i pull out the jewelers loupe. Hope this helps.
 
Depending how u want ur buds u want a speedy hair about 50-60 days and more couch u could let her go 70-75 days roughly but honestly it's hard to tell u because each plant grows at there own pace and it depends on enviroment lights co2 nutes. Hight temp hight ligh co2 and flower nutes high in P,K will make ur harvest come quicker and vise versa very low temps low light low co2 low P,K in flower will give u small buds and take longer.
 
Thanks Tyler. I'm at about 60 days now, I'm thinking this week end they might be ready...gonna stick to shorter indicas from now on, i don't like the extra wait!
 
How the F did you get 2lbs off 3 autoflower plants? I thought autos only produced 2-4 ounces each? That's over 10oz a plant...for autos? What the hell are you feeding them?
 
Hey Tyler, just to clarify, the 2lbs are wet weight right? Don't wanna get my hopes too high, just ordered 4 different autos that I plan on sticking outside soon to mature by mid summer
 
2-4 is an average a lot of things can change that strain was blueberry and tangerine dream. My nute mix is (veg week 2-7) 4L water 2tblsp foxfarm big bloom 3tsp grow big 1/4cup white sugar and 2tsp flora nectar. (flower) 4L water 2tsp tigerbloom 2tsp Alaska morbloom 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tblsp fora nectar and the last 2weeks 1tsp purple maxx. And every second watering I use pure milk skim, 2percent 3.25 what ever was cheaper. And I fully flushed with milk once a week. Co2 at 1200-1500ppm lights 16,000lumens per sqf the last I lst train and the last 2 weeks I split the stem hst train and stuff cuetips with mollasas inside the stem. That's the jist of it. But yes that's 2lbs of WET weight u will loose roughly half the weight after a proper 2week cure

No dude it's all good, great numbers, it'll be my first time growing autos this summer and have very little idea to know what to expect.
Otherwise I just spent ten minutes staring in the loupe and it's happening on Saturday, it'll be 9 weeks exactly, well, 62 days precisely. It's 90% cloudy, in 4 days it'll be ripe.

Any thoughts on readiness? Silliness for scale purposes only...

Thanks Tyler! I'll take you up on that most likely. Mainly gotta figure out how the needs of autos (food,water,light...) differentiate from those of photoperiods. And the timing of the whole thing. About 3 months life cycle right?, so if I plant them by mid April for a harvest by mid July, would that work?
 
3-3.5 months on average sometimes it can go longer it all depends on the strain and growing varulabes but ya 3-3.5 months is the average like for instance my plants said 70 days of flower and I only needed 56 days I think it was lol that's how enviroment factors play a role as well lol
