How long does this ruderalis auto have left? (First grow)

The predictions are off balance no thanks to my errors in the first month, so my gauge is kind of off chart. Seeking some experienced eyes to make a rough estimation. It has completely stopped vegging since last week, around the 19th September mark. It's growing in an outdoor greenhouse, daylight temperatures are roughly mid teens Celsius and at night are high single digits.

I'm after the cloudy trichomes, the energetic high. How many weeks do you reckon for that stage?
Frankly it’s still to early to tell. That plant is still in full on bud formation mode. Even if you want “an energetic” high you aren’t close to finished to be thinking about harvest yet. If you want a speedy up-high was then grow a sativa variety that is known to provide that.

Also it’s very much been my experience that you get less high and it lasts for less time chopping plants early. Not some drastically different energetic high.

In turn you get more high and it lasts long if you harvest when plants are actually ripe.

Honestly, estimate harvest times are just that ... guesses. It will take as long as it takes ....

It does not run on calendar date to chop ... your grow skill , environment and its own “ timeclock “ will dictate that. Patience is the hardest part of any grow.
Yea environment is a massive factor, especially with autos. Here In Ireland ya need to stick at least a month onto the estimated time frame if your growin outside

I'm from the UK and the temperatures now have dropped and will keep dropping. I reckon my harvest I'll be in early to mid November.

Well if your gonna have em outside that long, keep em dry as possible. Not much worse than bud rot at the final stages

That's what worries me. I opened two big gaps in the greenhouse so there's air flow, so far so good. If there's any sign of bud rot I'm cutting that thing down and harvesting what I can, I committed too much effort for my first grow to see it succumb to rot haha Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that.
