If a plant gets pollinated at week 3 of flower, which is about minimum time to mature enough for best results, then the flower time is about the same or maybe even shorter in a sativa. My sativa got pollinated mistakenly last year and it finished sort of early I thought, for a sativa. Not 100% sure on the sativa though. Some may still take 16 weeks to make seeds, too. My observations are on mostly hybrids. If a plant gets pollinated late in flower I think the flower still dies off almost at the same time and maybe with seeds that don’t mature.
It’s a good question to try and understand the details in the timing. Some strains may perform different, I don’t know.
And me thinking for some of these longer flowering sativas that seeds might make it mature faster. Job one is seeds and they make in 6-7 weeks IME but not enough runs to say.
The white spots are remnants of diatomaceous earth powder I was targeting gnats with. The spot you are pointing to with the red arrow, is the tip of a leaf from behind. Sorry for just now responding, hard to get to the computer sometimes.
I really abused her. Had lots of problems with the setup during the flower.
Having said that it’s a nice clear buzz I find. Not too strong and good daytime smoke. I get a lot of pine air freshener out of her.
Cool thread! I get a sort of sick pleasure from watching people try to tame real sativas indoors lol. Its very satisfying to see the results too. I don’t have the heart, I think the stress would kill me lol
