What you would do when this is your Plant???

Looks like light stress to me. Long reveggy looking fingers. Still white pistils and still throwing pistils out. You’re looking at the king of light stressing plants. Pound to a piece of poo they’ve been over saturated with light. That’ll never look finished ime … Get summat to measure ppfd for the next run.

The growth habit of your plant and it's running nature/never finishing could be due to a few things like too hot environment, too high Nitrogen in feed, salt build up in medium, medium pH out of whack, too long light hours, not enough air exchange.

But like others have said, it looks nice and will finish when it finishes, most likely in a month's time.

I had the same growth patterns when i did a sativa grow 30 years ago in a tiny cupboard in rockwool slabs with no vent.

I got a good yield but it never finished and grew like a vine with those tiny cotyledon leaves with brown tips.

As you already have a great yield i would reduce the light hours to tell the plant to get a move on!

:smoker:

I reduce the Hours to 12h 3 weeks ago

Happens to me all the time. Ended up getting a 2.3m tent. Cannabis plants are like water. They’ll fill whatever space you give them though so it’s still something that happens to me from time to time.

In my experience they’ll bulk a little. Still smokable and will still get you baked. It’ll just look ugly and unfinished. A bit like me lol

I just harvested a San Bacio gelato that did the same. Kept climbing to the light. The lowers will finish okay ish but those tops will not look finished. I smoked some gelato this morning before work. Tastes lovely and makes work bearable. So not all is lost. Just be sure to train your next lot and start doing it early. Just check trichomes with a loupe to decide if you think it’s done or not :)

Can Autos re-veg?
the plants are definitely stressed... I like Autos but they can do funny things when they get stressed and once they've gone crazy that's it...

- I'm going to go against the grain - that plant won't just suddenly become 'normal' and you already have plenty of 'flower', which has plenty of resin on it... it'll get you high whilst you grow the next plant [better] - Cut it down (or put it outside in the Autumn sun) and start again ASAP. You're wasting time that you could be having a better grow in - 111 days? its just not worth it... you can't just go on and on forever.. which is what that plant will do, if you let it... you could almost get 2 auto cookiez/gelatoz grows in that time.. sometimes you have to cut your losses and when things go South, start again ASAP.

Chalk this one off as 'experience'

Cut it down.

or try Thegreengrower64's advice with the copper nail thing... which will do at least as much good as reducing the light to 11 hours..or anything else..

The was done a long time ago and has revegged and reflowered. Just let it go another few weeks. Fully understandable for Fast Buds as their genetics are weak, poorly bred garbage.

I mean does anyone see cookies or glue in that plant??

You can grow most any photoperiod strain you like in the amount of time you have into that auto.

I give her time i put her on 12h 3 weeks ago so i will let her grow for 2-4 weeks but i have a second tent i can copple the tent to the main flower one and use it together... What i don't have is a led but maybe I bought it on Amazon and send it back after 3 weeks when the Big one is hopefully ready that's what i can do?

I will clean the bottom and remove the popcorn for better air circulation the buds on Top defenetley looks litte better then 3 weeks ago so why you think she will not finishing?

I will never Grow FB again!!!

She looks great I don't see a problem. The foxtails are kind of weird and I don't like the burnt leaf tips but it happens indoors. She's not done, needs at least a couple more weeks. Wait until almost all the hairs turn color and the calyxes swell. She'll bulk up quite a bit. It looks like you removed all the fan leaves a bit too soon. I'd remove the lower ones that aren't getting light but removing all of them screws with the plant's hormones. Unless they'd already turned yellow.

It's an auto. Reducing the hours of light isn't going to help it and could cause it to turn hermaphrodite. I'd probably stop feeding her, give her only water, and let her rip. Let her cannibalize herself. Don't cut the popcorn, if you don't want it give it to me. I'll make it into hash. Removing all the lower limbs this late in flowering isn't good for the plant and could fuck it up.

(edit) Didn't see the last post. What happened? Should have left it alone at 24/7. It's still not finished, all white hairs. Autos are very sensitive, you mess up the hormonal balance by screwing with light cycles and chopping shit off it. And this happens. Better luck next time...

some plants just go on and on when stressed... I suppose eventually it may 'finish' - but when? and that is not a 18/19 week 'phenotype' that you've just happened upon...
I'd rather start again with a new grow than soldier on with a stressed one... but that's just me - everybody has different styles and thoughts, I guess.. But 112 days - 16 weeks...its just not worth it... you can grow a pure haze plant in that time.... Autos just don't take to being stressed. I've fucked up loads of auto grows (I don't know why..I guess I'm more used to photo sensitive plants) but they seem to just stay crazy once it happens..

My thoughts are that you have enough weed there to go through until the next grow finishes (until you have a good quality stash) so why wait? just get started on a new, fresh grow straight away...

Maybe I just thought I'd offer a bit of balance as most people here seem to think 'keep going until it finishes..' but I'm just not so sure... if it is another 4 weeks (say) then you'd be half way to finishing the next crop by the time you're done..

If you can get your hands on another LED then you could maybe start the new grow ASAP and also see if you get anywhere with this one at the same time.. or could you put the plant in the greenhouse to see if it finishes? Or under a sunny window?

Whatever you do, Good Luck! I hope it works out well for you..
