When a seed company says Flower Time is 9 weeks, does that time start when the seed breaks trru the soil.

One more I keep getting people telling me correct PH for cannabis is 5.8 or 6.0 or even 6.5. What is it? Please answer this one also

For an auto start day 1 when she pops from soil mate. Breeders time scales usually bollocks. Marketing blag to make them look more "shiny" compared to others. 10-12 weeks as a rough guide in my experience.

PH 5.8 for coco and 6.3-6.5 or something for soil. Those values are where most nutrients can be taken up by the plant in either coco or soil. Guessing you already know PH is just the acidity (or alkalinity) of the soil?

Done.

Haha 61 and looking like the old bill making it hard to score mate?

Far better to grow your own dude.

I don't grow indoor and I don't measure pH, so I have little practical experience, but from the theory I can tell you that there is no ideal pH, it's a range.

if you google for images of it, you get a lot of similar charts looking like this:

as you can see, each nutrient has a different uptake, so you want to find the balance where you get enough of everything.
and no toxic levels of anything either, that's something I'm missing in all the charts I found on google, it's not including aluminium. aluminium is toxic to plants, and at low pH, it gets taken up better, so too low pH can cause aluminium toxicity.

@hippy71 , yeah, the seed banks, will feed you a line, like the RedPoison I'm growing now, is supposed to be done around 70days, but she is 61days old today, an just barely started showing a few pistils, so I'm looking at another 40-50days, if I decide to keep growing her, I could damn near grow a FastBuds seed out in a few more days than that.

I stunted a couple of them as seedlings and they can go 120 or more days. Larger pots, larger plants, or being a sativa can all make it take longer. The manufacturer is telling you that, in a professional environment the average finish is X days. They cannot be responsible for the trillion variables in that.
