So I have had the great fortune of meeting a gentleman from Afghanistan, and I have gotten onto the topic of cannabis, as he is an avid appreciator of the stuff. We have covered lots of things like tastes and smells as well as regional varieties' uniqueness and so on. One thing we were both curious about with the others' culture was how long plants are grown for and when they are harvested. He told me that in most areas that seeds are sown in the spring, and that flowers aren't harvested until the first snow, suggesting to me that their proper flower times are much longer than what we are doing indoor.
Lately I have been noticing that I very much prefer most flowers grown out in the 10-12 week range, when fed to be able to healthy and good looking that long. I've also noticed that plants will seem to finish faster or slower based on feed and method, but there are some chemical processes that I don't think can be sped up through increased or more efficient nutrient uptake.
As well, I have noticed that there seems to be a range of phenotype expression related to flowering. Several times now, it seems that I can get more of an expression of one parent when cut sooner, and more of an expression of the other parent when cut later.
Anyway, I suppose this is my argument against the idea of 8 week flower period. I don't wanna seem like I am telling other people that their techniques are wrong, and I have been absolutely blown away by what many of you are capable of, and I continue to learn from all of you. Thanks for reading my thoughts on the subject, and please respond if you have input.
