I got this auto-flower clone from a friend about 2 months ago.... I was told it was Blueberry

This is what it looks like now.. It lost all the larger leaves and only has small leaves with crystals all over it..

If you look at the bottom you will see some newer growth that just pop up within the last week or 2 maybe.

Is it ready? I have never flowered a plant before so this is all really new for me.


Thanks

I am by no means a pro or even a beginer at this (due to the fact I have never grown a plant sucessfuly). I am on the other hand reading as much info as i can. Someone correct me if I'm wrong what I am looking at is a small plant that is one bud is this correct. Also My first grow will be an autoflower before I try the photoperiod plants it seems easier to me. djlarry can you tell me how l;ong you had this plant and is this your first grow

this is some unordinary plant I would say :) Cloning an auto flowering plant it's bad idea, cause they do not turn into plant again, they just keep on growing flower and die no mater whether you change light cycle/clone it/etc and to root them is quite difficult as well. Anyway, you yield when 60-70% of its pistils become brownish(since your plant is just one big bud, maybe you can wait for all pistils to get brown). Auto strains have limited days, so even if there are some new growth going on, that will not bring you any good. Just concentrate on your cola, you nearly there :)

I would say give it more time. I harvest after scoping trics once the caylexes have swelled and folded UP against the bud yours are still straight with a few down when its ready they will go up over two or three days.

Its interesting to see this I have heard people ask about cloning autos but it doesnt work the same as photos. Its cool to see it done. How old was the mother when the cutting was taken?

Im not sure how old the mother was. I was told she just started to flower when the clones were taken. I just put it under 24 hours of HPS and this is what happened.

Your friend lost yield by cutting parts off. There is nothing hard about photoperiod plants. I wouldn't bother with an auto

Yeah , i agree it was stupid of him to take a clone from a auto-flower. But the clone was free and i have the extra space at the moment.
Anyways, Can anyone tell me how much longer I should wait?
