Early Harvest Question

[Mattman1211]

Hey folks

I have three plants all skunk#1xsuperskunk. They have been flowering for 7 weeks and one looks ready now as I would say the pistils are 60-70% brown (don't have a magnifying glass to get a closer look). Jus wondering on what people think about me harvesting the one that looks ready now. Another point is the mother took the full 8 weeks to be ready, do clones sometimes finish earlier than the mother did?

Also I will get a different high from this one than the other two which I am sure will go the full 8 weeks, is this correct thinking?

Any advice welcome

Thanks Mattman

A clone is the exact same plant as the "mother" from which it came. The earlier plant harvested will be a different buzz than the later ones because they have had more time to ripen/mature.

Thanks Akorn

My mate came over tonight and managed to dig out his magnifying glass from his days of growing and the plants still have a bit to go, gonna go the full eight weeks give or take a few days. Not long now

Yeapper, same , same but is/was it?
wet and dry also makes a few days difference, dryer seems to finish faster
as seen outside with same strains ,
don't see why it would differ indoors.

early just makes it more Sativa like

Clones are more sexually mature. As long as the veg period isn't real long to even it out the clones will flower and finish a little sooner.

Don't smaller plants mature a little bit faster than monster plants though?? If so, wouldn't clones instantly flowered mature faster than the mother?

Nah, not enough to worry about
at least from what I have seen.

Finishing *Usually* will be more effected by weather/enviroment,
in stable strains.
Now On THE other hand,
unstable strains may produce geno/pheno types that widely vary.
