Hi, I'm wondering if someone can give me some advice on autos, I'm growing automax seeds 5, I've got a indoor tent, with 2 plants in it, everything went well through the early stages, and into flowering, I've been on flowering for 7 weeks, 12 weeks in total.
My plants has lost a bit of there smell, but the main centre kolons are not smelly, or sticky, but the rest of the plant is, is this correct, and does anyone know a timescale on these plants, any help is appreciated
Cheers

I'm using a 600w dual spectrum bulb, and coco. I've been using hornet a and b food, as it's designed for coco, and you don't need to change when it's flowering. I've been using pk buddha from 3rd week of flowering, and i used big bud as a boost, for 2 weeks,

I will post some picture's tomorrow, any help will be greatly appreciated, I'm not sure if I've left them too long, or this is normal. They say they flower in 8-10 werks, but does this include the growing stage?
Does anyone know
Cheers

Do they look ok to you?
I got a bit concerned with them not smelling as much, and the centre kolons look a bit dry, they we're really sticky to start with, but not as much now.
Also with autoflowering seeds, some say the 8-10 week's includes the veg stage, and some say the 8-10 week's starts when they start flowering. I'm currently on week 7 from the start of flowering. I was going to start flushing soon.
Thank's for your earlier reply.

First of all, Flushing is not really necessary. Second of all, yes they look good to me, I don't think they are ready yet but it's your call. Its hard to say how long until harvest, i go with my gut feeling and look at the plant overall. I never grown autos though and it might be different

To help ‘ease’ your mind I had the same thing happen. Loss of smell as I left them mature a bit long.

Still tasted nice and after a good dry and 2 week cure they were tasting like they smelled before.

There is an optimum window to harvest of any plant and it can be missed - I did and I think you may have too...

Growing is always about learning from your mistakes.

Thank's a lot for your help everyone, but as you can see one person says they might not be ready, and someone else says I might have waited a bit long to harvest, i realise it's all about opinions, and experience. I don't understand why you don't have to flush, i thought that got rid of the taste of the chemicals, does anyone think i should flush now?
Also it's good to know that even if i have waited a bit too long, it still should be ok.
Thank's everyone

I've used one of them, and i can't see any on the main kolon at the back, I'm not sure why, the rest don't look bad, do you think i should wait a bit longer?
Or is it because I've waited a bit too pong, that the back kolon, hasn't got any.
If you wait too long, do the trichomes disappear?
Cheers
