Harvest time?

Haven't grown in a while. These two autos were planted around day 101-104(4/11-4/14). I was running them 24/0 for approximately 1 month and beginning to decrease that time slightly each night.

On 5/8 the lights were accidentally off for approximately 21 hours.

At the time they were under a TS-1000.(150w>) I put them to 20/4 but noticed an otherwise unmentioned plant herming. So, noticing ballsacks, after about 6 days from the darkness apocalypse, I switched to 12/12.

I was initially anticipating a harvest around day 197 prior to the outage; mid July. Some attributes of these buds tell me they are ready to go, but they are still getting larger. How many more days would you guys recommend? Full couple of weeks?

I would normally grow these buds to the expected date without question, but as I had a significant event, I'm a bit suspicious of a slightly earlier date(and I have managed to wait too long before). However, in reality, these weren't flipped to flower until after about 5 weeks of light, anyway.

Opinions would be cool! Peace and love!

Why are you messing with light cycles for autos? And why would you bother running an auto if you expected it to take close to 200days? Your plant looks healthy and rather large for an auto, as well as close to fully ripen. I would not harvest if it is continueing to put on mass and i would wait until the pistels receeded into the flower and not worry about how many days/weeks that may be. My best guess is 5-15days

i reference day of the year as a measure of calculating how long a plant is in a cycle, down to the day. These seeds were planted around 101-104 which is in the 2nd week of April. and thanks, I'm thinking the same but don't really know.

Got ya. Thats some analitics data driven jargon. Most of use who germinate just call germination date day 0, or if we plant seeds the day it sprouts from soil is day 1.

Nice buds...man that is one confusing way to post a grow...lol.

Thanks, and true, but at the same time I live in New England and it helps me consider climate change and changes I might make to my setup. I'm also moving to a hot climate and need to consider the exact days when things will be too hot / cool enough.

Main reason it gives an exact amount of days and I don't have to think about how many days per specific month etc. Kind of helps me keep an outlook of the total year from start to total finish as well lol.
