Hello all. I’m 56 days in on a white widow auto from seedsman. She broke soil 56 days ago and the breeder says 80 to 85 days seed to harvest. I’ll post plenty of pics and some crappy trichomes. This is my second grow. My first grow, same genetics, I harvested early and it just didn’t pack much of a punch. So.... beginners and pro’s please profess your best opinions.

The trichomes look ready but wow they matured early. May be the best you can do if you’re growing outdoors? If you’re in a controlled environment get the Rh up.

Breeder times are subjective ... are based on their “ own “ testing . Autos run on their own internal clock so ACTUAL finish times may vary.

I would wait until most of those pistils begin at least ...... change and recede. It will show calyx maturity.
i would say at least 2 more weeks.

Im growing indoors. I took the plant outside for photos. I’m growing in ffof soil using their trio. You think I still need to get ph up?

I posted the thread “Guess the deficiency” in plant problems forum. These pictures are of the plant in that thread. So, do you agree 2 more weeks based off the hairs? I don’t mind couch lock but I don’t want to lose potency obviously.

Not ph, Rh. Was looking at the Acu-rite temp RH meter. 16% Rh. The buds look like they have a ways to go but the trichs have a bit of Amber already. Probably stress of some sort.

Yes, humidity is horribly low. I didn’t know it made a lot of difference if the other conditions are ideal. Is it too late to save it? If I let it go for 2 more weeks will it degrade the high by a lot?

Rh definitely matters in terms of plant stress. Look up Vapor pressure deficit for more info. I would try lowering the temperature if you can. Low 70s and maybe dim or raise the light some. Let them ride for a week and check trichs.

If the trichs look done but there are still white hairs, what would you do? Should I chop them based solely on the trichs? I’m fine sacrificing quantity in favor of potency. I really can’t get temps lower than 74 right now. I can add a humidifier though. I just don’t want another batch that doesn’t give a decent high.

Aim for like 35% Rh at 74 degrees. I usually go by a bunch of factors to determine “done”. Autos are a little different though. Maybe someone with more auto experience can help. I guess if you don’t mind the couch I’d wait till 1/3 are amber and cut. They look pretty good so don’t be discouraged.

Thank you for all your help. I will post pictures later. A lot of the leaves are yellowing still
