Hello buddys,

This is an unknow autoflower strain. 75 days from seed, started flower on day 23. 220w cob led on 7 Liters sunshine/perlite mix.
Because of the extreme yellowing in the last 3 weeks and high UR (62%+) I think it should be harversted as soon as possible, but I'm afraid it's too soon. I flushed with RO water yesterday. No amber trics on calyx, just cloudy. Otherway, sugar leaves has 25% amber.
Do you guys think one more week until harvest is good?

Here are some pics:

Sexy auto. 2 weeks is good if you want a couch lock, if you are looking for that heady high maybe just 1 week.

Looks like at least indica dominant at a glance if that helps.

Yeah, here in Brazil we do not have easy access to good genetics. Importing is very dangerous, so I bought some seeds from a local dealer. The first genetic gave me 50g dry buds, very good smell, strong head high. Now this one of the photos looks very productive, but the smell is somewhat like garbage, over-ripened fruit, sweet. Not so good... Expecting at least the high is good :lol:

its been my experience that the smell of the plant while its growing is only vaguely what its going to be after the dry/cure. a lot of my plants have a lot of limonene when they're growing, but when they dry and cure, the limonene tends to decay and you get the underlying terps coming out, sometimes skunky, sometimes spicy, sometimes ....V

Wow!! This chart is gold!! And thank you for sharing your experience, Roger. After a proper curing I will post here an smoke report. Can't wait to see how smell will drift. In fact, after week 6 of bloom I noticed the "bad part" of smell changed towards the good side, decreasing the skunky smell and increasing the sweetness. Hope it gets better.

Cheers!

Ps: excuse me any grammar error.

Limonene is actually a precursor cannabinoid as well to other terps. I'm most happy when 30 days into flowering and there is a strong lemonene scent and lots of frost. You can harvest a bit early for the limonene dominant taste and effect or wait the extra two weeks for less citrus and pronounced other scents and terps :)

Weird that you mentioned this. I have a northern lights auto going from crop king seed's that has turned out to be a mutant dwarf. it's only a couple weeks into flower, and is extremely tiny, but the smell of that little plant is of pure citrus, and it is very very stinky. very lemon sour smell, in a good way. most autos I grow are fairly stinky but this puny thing takes the cake.

Nice. My last run here as well my runt/dwarf/mutant plant turned out to be the winner for taste and potency. It was a Barneys Farm Blue Cheese. Super skinny leaves but tight internodes. Slow to flower but finished first. It also reeked of lemonene early but finished blueberry cheesy funky awesomeness. Only yielded 1.5oz off her and the other 3 in the tent 3plus. It's scrappy looking nug too but damn it's the shit.

Hey!
could not wait anymore... had security issues. One or two weeks more would be great, for sure, but... The smell turned out to be INCREDIBLE GOOD, very lemoni, sweet, a touch of pinneaple. Definitelly not what she was smelling at week 6!!
Also, I chose to not flush this time.
Unfortunatelly I'm having hard time with humidity on drying buds. UR is 70 ~ 80% and temps 27~29 °C. With A/C on drying mode the room stays at 21°c and 60%.

Strain: Unknown automatic
Total time: 80 days
Wet weight: 225g
Dry weight: ???
