Waiting

[Oreo]

I'm starting week 12 in the bloom stage. Has anyone else had to wait much longer than that for harvest? (I have enough stash and I'm not in a hurry but I bought new seeds and want to try them.)

All strains are different. She’ll be ready when she’s ready

Add at least 2-3 weeks to the specs from the breeder

Plants do not know or care about schedules. They do what they want. You need to talk to them and listen to what they say. They will tell you when it is time.

Especially if growing in soil....

Don't worry about the new seeds. Just seal them in an airtight container with a moisture pack (5ml) and stick them in the fridge (not freezer). Stored properly, they can last a couple of years.

as far as the current grow...each strain is different. Once the leaves start turning yellow all over the plant it's usually a good indicator they are on their final stretch and will be ready in about a week or two

One of my NL autos went 16+ weeks before I get amber trichomes just as Rwise said. I hope this helps with the “extra” weeks. It is well worth the chill time!

I'll be patient if you were.

QOreo , That patience needs to extend to the 3-4 weeks minimum after harvest that it takes to dry and cure it. I’m 69year old next month and we never “cured” weed back in the 60-70s. Since I’ve tried to follow the advice re. curing, WOW what a difference. Smooth and not harsh at all. Try a bud after a few days of drying, then one after a month or so of glass jar curing. I’m sure you will be sitting with a Cheshire grin somewhat like your avatar. Enjoy!
