Just a question..about sativas vs indiga

[solareclipse]

Hello guys I only have a couple of questions but I must say something else first...
Last year the whole year I try to breed some autos seeds feminised...
So... I did it..it tools me long time and lot of work but I did it..
I get some good weed from this.
Now...
I am wondering why my sativas dominate seeds are very late to flowering and very slow growth on buds...
The indica I have in 7-8weeks from seed is already to harvest and give me a good weed.
That was one of my questions
.. is it normal the sativa to get double time to harvest from seed from indica?
The second question is about the pots..
I have a couple of indica ladies in a big pot and most of them in smaller pots..so this time the indica in big pot show me her sex 2 weeks ago but it still grow..
I think these days start the pistils to cover up the branches...especially the main branch.. does the pot matters to the size of plants and yield?
Logical the bigger roots the bigger plant/yield but this wasn't happen with seeds I bought from seed bank...only from the seeds I breed..I will try to find here one photo from this plant..
I start with 2 questions and I wrote a whole page ...sorry about this but I am worried coz I have already those plants and I am afraid not to see someone and the get bigger and bigger without so much weed on..

Yes, what we generally think of as "sativa" takes longer - often considerably longer - than what we generally think of as "indica." 16 weeks is not unusual. 20 or more weeks of flowering is not unheard of. Tell an old head from way back that you've got something in your stash that flowered for over four months before it was ready to harvest, and his eyes will light up, lol.

The first 40% of the flowering period is known as the "stretch" phase. So, yes, they're still going to be growing during the first part of the flowering period.

It took you an entire year to produce some feminized autoflowering seeds? What kept happening, just bad timing, or...?

Yeah satvia will generally flower a good 3 weeks later than indica and in some cases can take twice as long to finish. Some go 14 weeks plus...
That said outdoor sativa is definitely something special... at least to me

I agree with the guys above posted. The straight or heavily leaning sativa's take a lot longer in flower and grow a lot taller. The plants seem to be more finicky in flower so the longer they are in that state makes them a little more difficult to grow well for beginners.

Indica's or indica leaning plants respond well to 12/12 lighting during flowering while some sativa's benefit more from an increase in the dark period of 11/13 or 10/14 lighting schedule to finish.

Hi..well thank u for explain me this with sativa dominated...
It took me so long coz I didn't use in the begin colloidal silver.
It just happened.
The bring me the wrong seed and I decide to make my own..
It is long story...I have a thread about it I speak with a nice guy and he helped me (jackalope) very very much.
What happen is:
I order with some other seeds ,one gorilla glue auto feminised and I get a photo period male.i get angry coz I raise it for 3 months about and when I realise was male I decide to start mixing strains to get an auto 100% but 50/50males and females..
Then I use some CS and then I have an accidental pollen release..and it happened a lot to this thread..
I am very glad I met this guy coz he was very patient with me...
Maybe u can have a look..
It is on my threads with title something like this..
" Can you recognize if the offsprings are good?
