Ok what do you use mate somthin like kind soil water only? Or your own organic mix? I would be going the organic route but used what i had to hand. Jst a closet grow with absolute basics. wana finish this then try hydro. This was my first go at growing anything! But i know i can do better next time round.

I'm what ppl call recycled living organic soil! I re use my soil from every grow and recycle and amend it! I have a recipe I've been working on for years with the help of a few guys on this site! I water with plain bubbled well water, I also use compost teas, and top dressing with my homemade ewc! CM180729-003541001.jpg

It’s got a bit to go. You’ll see the pistils start to turn colour and recede. The best way is to buy a 60x magnifier and check the trichomes.
By the way, my first grow was an auto flower and I never made it to harvest. You’re doing really well.

Yes. You’re right on track. Like I said the trichomes are the best indicator but judging by the pistils I’d say 2-3 weeks. The pistils start to recede and turn orange and the calyxes will swell and put on weight. Thats what we’re waiting for.

This is how mine looks like (pics taken last weekend) - It is a royal haze auto and the first day of light for the lady was on 21 June when she finally broke the surface and i think i am still a couple of weeks away. Checked the trichomes a couple of days earlier and i still have about 40% clear and 60% milky.

I would say 2 weeks but if you have to chop you have to. But if you can wait it will be better. This is a patience hobby. Rushing at any stage will compromise the end product. It gets better, lol
