Should I cut bait and move on

Hi all. Week 13 of stiches love potion auto.
Looking good from far but far from good. Even with massive colas the buds are small and almost no trichomes. It could be another month before it's mature. I don't think given it's current state I should let it finish.
Looks like ditch weed up close and burned easy with 1/2 strength nutes compared to other plants I have growing.
Anyone think it would get any better? Or time to face the reality and cut it down and move on. I could use the tent space for a better plant that is needing the space. Thanks in advance for any advice.

urhhh that looks painful. But it is also so far in now... hard choice to make. Would depend on my personal circumstances, if I am good for weed I would probs get rid. But if it would mean that I run out of weed they 100% keep it. I would also use a different cannabis seed brand :weed:

I have another plant ready to go in there though that I know will be much better. At 13 weeks on an auto I was planning on having the stiches done by now and it's messing up my schedule.

You’ve put this many weeks in why give up now. It looks like it has awhile to go. You prob got some serious dank if you wait it out

I would keep it regardless. Looks way early to be getting all frosty and I am thinking that looks almost Thai influenced. You could be getting rid of some fire.

finish her! You'll learn more by finishing her plus you'll have something to smoke during your next, improved grow.

Going to come down to personal choice.

Will you have enough stash to continue on without it? Looks like at least month to go to finish.

Will trashing the plant give you worthwhile results from the others with the extra space?

Bud formation looks great. Lack of trichomes not so much. Personally I'd let it grow out and see how it finishes. It might surprise you. Good luck making the choice.

Are you serious? Why would you chop it down now? It's obviously sativa dominant and could take much longer than what any breeder time states. A quick look online and it seems that the lineage includes Columbian. The buds are looking like they should. That plant isn't close to being finished. It could take 14 weeks or more to finish flowering from the time it starts. You obviously have never grown a real sativa or sativa dominant strain.

Cutting that plant now would be a mistake. In the future you should research what you're growing and stick to indica dominant hybrids that will finish in the time frame you want. When I say research I mean more than just reading the breeders description which is worthless in many cases as many tend to say whatever they think will sell more seeds.

See what you can do to speed up ripening. You have enough weight now, Does anyone think cutting the hr of light down and , lift the lights up, introducing far red, and playing with the temp can ripen things faster? To stop putting out white hairs

Thanks for the advice. I'll let it ride and post a follow-up post when it's done. I have only grown indica and hybrids before and was going on the fact it was an auto flower and already 13 weeks in, but my inexperience with sativa strains is obvious.
