Harvest

[Ordonyez]

First time grower. Looking on advice on when to harvest. I know this has been covered a lot on here but seems each plant is different. This is gsc auto from cropking seeds. Its 10 1/2 weeks from germination. Any advice on when this will be ready to harvest? Hairs about 40% orange and trichs seems milky. Not looking for couch lock stone.

Check back again in 3-4 weeks minimum. I'd say early-mid October; though I'm sure that isnt what you wanted to hear. I could be off since I've only grown photo periods, but just by the look of it.

Short story, please dont harvest yet.

Ya, not in a rush, was thinking its early but really have no clue. Been flowering for about 4-5 weeks.

Usually a good rule of thumb is to wait an extra week after your “ think “ its done and see what happens . Unless you have grown a certain strain or pheno, and are absolutely positive its done , a lot can end up changing for the better if you let it go a little longer . Looks good man

So how long do auto flowers typically take from germination to harvest? I was told 2-3 months but obviously not?

2-3 months is typical but sativas and certain phenos can definitely take longer

90-110 days. Most people cut them to early and fuck up their yield and the smoke is no good. Most breeders straight up lie about flower time. They only good thing about autos is they will flower in the middle of summer and you dont risk fall mold. As far as indoors go- your better off growing photoperiod plants and just sprouting them at 12/12 so they flower as soon as they are sexually mature. Pretty much makes them act exactly like autos but better quality bud.

Varies by strain and breeder... just like with any other cannabis strain...

Earliest finish Ive had so far was a Mephisto 4 Assed Monkey at 70 days and the longest was a Seedsman Northern Lights Auto at 117 days (which honestly should have gone longer but I was sick of looking at that bullshit plant)

I'd wager yours has another month to go... should bulk up a good bit more...

far from ready just by looking at these photos IMO

Thanks for the help. Noticed this over the weekend. Is this bud rot? It's on 3 buds. If so what do I do? Moving indoors is not an option

I’m thinking more people need to invest in the 20 sided dice

 

[intelhachi]

yea that is bud rot unfortunatly the best thing to do is cut off t he infected buds

 

[Ordonyez]

Damn, that's a bitch. Happened so fast. It's at the base of my main cola as well. Am I better to just harvest the entire plant? Or try and cut it out and hope it does not spread?

 

[intelhachi]

If it were my plant I would cut off the infected area and let the rest finish

Okay, thanks for the advice. I'm going to try and cut it out tonight. Hopefully my lady will make it thru surgery.

It’s better to 18/6 first month for good veg then flip to 12s your shorting you’re own plant otherwise. But that’s photo. I don’t grow auto

Probably same for them too unless you wanna save on electricity. Which electric is cheaper than tree by far

Autos like at least 18 hours all the way to harvest.

What kind of yields do you experience going 12/12 from seeds? Photoperiod

Ive only done the one. Shes hanging upside down right now, ask me again in a week or two. Center kola very impressive. Side branches not so much but still look good.
