Yeah man. Don't listen to the seed banks, they always tell you earlier flowering time and higher THC, CBD, so you buy from them. They all lie mate. But I would of kept them going, dont go off grow time go off tric colour so you bud is how you want it. Myself I like to watch the buds double in size in the final 2 week, strain dependant obviously.
Strain dependent is the key phrase there. What I have been doing is going by the percentage of opaque trichomes (I like to aim at the 60% because of the Sativa high, even though to be honest I haven't noticed all that much of a difference in the buzz). I noticed that this is about when the pistils start turning color noticeably on other strains. I didn't even use a magnifier on this grow because I was trying to go by pistil color change. Oh well, another lesson learned; I did this mostly for the seeds anyway. Maybe I'll try plants in various stages of pistil color change (from none brown to all brown) to see if I can tell the difference then.
The seed banks do embellish a bit, huh? I haven't grown anything I can't smoke all day long yet, but according to them I should be experiencing something psychedelic or trippy. Keep workin' on it on that end guys; I'll take my part of the blame as a beginning grower, but I get a decent buzz from them all and that's it.
