The no bullshit 6-7 week flowering time strain list

id say majority of skunks and most afghans can easily be taken at week 6 but the potency is better when you leave them longer


sativas id say can be chopped from week 8 but again the same rules apply


any strain that is 70/30 sat/indica or less can be taken from week 6 anything above id say 8 weeks on


its not a difficult plant to work with

Full on Sativa goes at least 10-12 and often 16-20+ weeks. Don’t chop her when she’s half done...please. Even a ten week cut at 8 will likely be a poor excuse for an imitation of what it should have been.
Use the signals the plant sends.
Senescence, Amber trichs, Terps all of them are signals.. as you learn the different expressions of different seed lines you learn to read the language the plants are trying to speak.
It’s not a difficult plant but it’s very adaptable and that means we should be too... roll WITH her.. don’t stick her on your schedule and make her perform then say it wasn’t her best work.

There’s a world of difference between properly matured and cured weed and early cut quick dried home grown.
I know this because I cut and quick dried WAY too much early weed on my way to learning patience.

With 7 weeks, each is 14% of your flowering time. To go an 8th week you want 14% more. If not, it's better use of a flowering space to change the plants.
People that spend 7 weeks in that space also growing them, have a 14 week cycle, so each week owes them 7% of the spaces output. I think from 7 to 8, most of us would gamble on getting another 7% on even a 7 weeker. I have a nice KKFV and the 'what if' feeling associated with a 7 week chop is hard to let go of.

In a multi-variety grow / mixed perpetual, heady fast plants might transcend that purely numerical value.

The only strain that fully matures in 7 weeks, IMO, is a quick pheno of Green Poison. Most GP phenos are done at 8 weeks, which is still pretty fast. Haven't grown anything that's done in 6 weeks.

I had settled on Green Poison before finding this thread. There is the usual 500-650gpm 49 day 0.9% cbd variety and a fast version rated 500-600gpm in 42 days. Both list 15-20%thc but the faster one a much lower 0.1% cbd.


That's 6 weeks. 6 weeks ago I was putting up pics of the build. It won't put on much more weight but the colour and resin content will improve over the next week. It's the KKFV listed 49 days. I had a scissor moment and culled a bit at 32 days once. Even that was chunky and smoked alright.

Hmm...I was not aware of the fast variety. Guess I have to get some. GP has been a staple in my garden for about 5 years and I'm definitely open to checking out the faster strain. Thank you.

I did a sensi seeds / White Label feminised Purple Bud that took 7& a half weeks - thats the fastest I've grown (and it was a good smoke!)

Do you have to grow from seed each time? If speed is the most important factor for you, then you might get faster turnaround using clones - and then you will know exactly how long they should take and can dial your grow in. Seeds always produce a lot of variability (which personally I love) but are not so good for predictable results. 2 seeds from the same batch can produce plants that have widely different characteristics.
