Hairs sometimes can be alot orange and you still have mostly clear trichs... I like a few amber, mostly cloudy.. 20% Amber and the rest cloudy/clearish works for me.

That's about how I have always done with photos but I've heard that some autos are done with growing at a certain time no matter if the buds are ready or not.

Not going to lie...I think i've seen this once or twice...but usually..no growth is easy to see thought, I havent had this issue with the current bb/gg#4 seeds ive been doing from ilgm...but I have in fact had a plant go a week with zero trich color change or bud growth....But i feel like.. if shes still swelling or changing trichs and all your hairs haven't receded.. its still going...But If I see hairs mostly gone/deep orange, swelling slow... 20% Amber trichs, im inclined to start a dark period or whatever your routine is when its time.

That's what I've heard and I always like to see some Amber cause then I know it's done plus I like the sedative effect

The camera doesn't show just how many brown/red hairs there are and the tricks are coming on fast that's why I figured 3-4 weeks. If longer fine,. Hopefully they will be a lot better

True that, I've harvested early before and everything tasted like hay and weak buzz+headAche. I definitely don't want to pull em early.

My fan fell and knocked off a branch. Ilgm ww auto. Yes I know it's not done and yes it's larfy because was in the back. But they starting to look good. Can't wait to see the finish. My first auto and first fully led grow. Its been a blast learning.

Smoked it and I'm pleased. Was 2-3 weeks early and still has a nice clean euphoric stone. I'm sure that when it's ready is going to be very good indeed. If these are dogshit genetics then I can't wait to see some of those better ones. Been smoking for 35 years, and this is decent smoke already. Wife agrees. I'll buy from ilgm again.

All they're doing is getting a cut of lets say, Darkhorse genetics Bruce Banner, crossing it with one of the parents, mostly likely strawberry diesel f2...so genetically its almost identical to darkhorse's stuff, just the phenol types will be different as you're chosing a different parent.....Shoot, it could even be better...But he is chosing those exact parents for their traits.... so most likely not.. but as far as genetics... almost identical... My source? Mid 2000s I was very active on overgrows forum, BOG had some award winning bubblegums I noticed them on sites that he wasn't involved with, as I think he was picked up by gypsy at the time to make beans, So I asked is that anything like yours and he said Genetically almost exact. but the traits were chosen for a reason and would most likely be different and even he said theres even a small chance its even better in someone elses eyes.....So if someone had NL #5 f2...get his seeds, cross and boom. bog-bubble.......Thats all they're doing...its no secret.. Copycat too.....Anyone who says its dog shit...just cant grow autos worth a fuck and needs a recently used by everyone scape goat to cover their ego....anyways here is the 'dog shit' in question....Gorilla glue#4 ......I guestimate 2-3 weeks out, no amber trichs yet, hairs still far from receeded.... under se3000 spider farmer at 12" 100% power..I expect they'd beat most mutt farmers using the expensive expensive genetics, easilly....

Yep, those look delicious. Ilgm gg#4 is up next after I flower the Acapulco gold and supposed unnamed haze bagseed plant that are photos I've been vegging Heck, I think I'll start 1 GG between the other two. Mine could a looked alot better but that is due to grower mistakes. Here they are. No Amber but they have 2 weeks or so to go. If my GG's turn out like yours I'll be happy indeed.

For some reason I can't get a single picture to show the pistils as anything other than white. All the buds are at least 60/40 red. One has almost no white hairs unless you photograph them. 3/4 of the tricks are cloudy

Yeah every gg#4 seed ive planted by them had came out delicious too.. and shockingly similiar pheno wise. Im wondering how the BBs are guna turn out...They're larger than any of the gg#4 were at 3/4 weeks...but its solid af smoke....I..and yeah Idk i found my personal preference atleast for anything not pure sativa.... is some amber trichs.. or I dont get the high I like.. but everyone differs really. The hairs receeding into the bud is a good sign you're close to regardless of trich preference.. as stated above.

Last times Acapulco gold, started outdoors brought it inside when I bought LED lights. Bud was larfy but very good. Even my buddies who get wax from California said it was great. That ilgm ww is already as strong if not as tasty after being dried overnight. Im stoked for the finish

Same here..I did this for me and my wife. I don't care if it's the perfect genetics or the absolute most potent. Its "good enough" for me. Likewise, I got 20 for 110 delivered. Even if I only get an o per plant was well worth it. And fun too.

How much light you running? I'm using 2 100 actual watt q boards on a 2x4. Im pretty sure next time will be alot better. I rushed things this time and didn't have all I needed for autos. I found the water was under 6 pH after awful nutrient lock. Honestly I was afraid they would die before finishing.

All 3 of them are different phenos. One is under 20 inches and had thin light color leaves, one is 24 in and has turned a bluish bruised purple, #3 is 26 in and has long dark green buds. You can see they're all the same strain but diverse phenos. Hey I'm not selling.it might be a good thing. A little variety
