Hi Everyone,
I have been growing a plant indoors for the past few months and below are the details:
Seed: Critical+ Autoflowering from Dinafem
Soil: Natural Southern Indian soil+bone meal+sand
Setup: A hollowed out fridge box, measuring 8ft*2.5ft*2.5FT. Taped with aluminium foil on the side to improve reflection
Lighting: 2*65W CFL Lamps (1 6000K 65W White Light and 1 2700K 65W Yellow Light)
Age(estimated): About 4 months (it was initially grown just normally on a balcony. First we moved it to a box with 1 white 65W light, but after the plant got about 2 feet tall, added the other yellow light)
Watering: Alternate days but check the soil for dampness everyday
Fertilizer: Generic brand vegetation fertilizer for the first few months of vegetation and flowering fertilizer since the first signs of buds 2 months ago. Fertilizer added to soil/water along with watering once every 4 days or so
General outer climate: Moderately warm, Southern India. Humidity 25-50%.
Pesticide: Neem oil sprayed on the plant/soil. It helped fight against a spider mite attack.
Now, the time that the flowering has taken is far longer than the 50-or-so days that the Dinafem website says. I've been thinking of harvesting the plant as it looks like its ready, and accordingly the intention is to give it about 48 hours in the dark and then harvest. One of the biggest mistakes newbies typically make is harvesting too early, so I want to make sure.
I wanted to check with the experienced growers it is time to harvest. I am attaching about 6 images to get some advice from you all. Can you please tell me if it is time to harvest? If not, how much longer should I wait?
Note: I don't have option to get a Jeweller's scope. I am hoping experienced growers may be able to take a look at these pics and share their opinions. Thanks.
