I would wait till they stopped with new growth before planning a harvest date. Some are fast finishers, some are not
Northern lights not as I expected
- Thread starter vondetour
- Start date
Okay I will wait longer, better safe than sorry. Also add nutrients.

Anytime a classic strain is tagged with "Auto" it's a major red flag. Ruderalis isn't some blank slate genetic that makes a plant flower automatically, they bring a whole gene pool, good and bad, to the progeny.
If it didn't get you high at all, you chopped way early.

How many days, One of my autoflowers took a little over 110 days. 5 weeks flowering isn't very long.
My current Auto grow has been flowing for around 2 months and it's not done yet.
I think I did chop to soon, should have waited 2-3 weeks longer. My mystery plant I am going to wait 7-8 weeks to cut and week 6 will be on 7 june
110 days, I do wish I had waited longer now. I checked last night and all jars had little if any smell.

Chopping early is one of the biggest mistakes growers make, even many seasoned growers have been doing it for years. Most commercial grows chop 1-3 weeks earlier then the plant really needs. So it’s not just you and if you learn from it it’s not a big deal right

If your worried about potency I wouldn't buy auto anything, I have never been happy with an auto flowering strain, makes some beautiful giant buds fast but at a cost. This has been my experience, I hope someone will someday prove me wrong

While I tend to agree, there are good auto breeders.
Most people buy white label "hype autos" that just tag a popular strain with "auto" fir a quick buck. There's good shit out there, but I'm not going to be the one to find it.

Old thread I know but drying and curing are essential to bring out the nice smelling terpenes. I live in Costa Rica so have to dry in a room with a humidifier and temps get very high, but after drying 3-4 days, I put them in containers to cure. I burp them once a day for at least a week, making sure the humidity never goes above 62%. Then I just let them sit. Starts to smell really good in 2 weeks. When I first started growing I wanted to smoke right away after drying and was always disappointed, but after I disciplined myself to cure them correctly I have always been satisfied.
