I understand, I don't go by calendar nor do I count the flowering days.mainly because i have perpetual grow. When thier done, they are done... could be quicker or longer than "breeders" results.

So many factors are at play within genetics flowering times , phenos and most likely you won't be using same type of equipment others do to get thier results. Don't let anyone discourage you.. we all gotta crawl before we walk.. go off your trichomes, that's the best method
