Fiet · Dec 4, 2022

Hi,

i ask my self is this plant ready ore not i look at the Trichomes this day and a lot of them are Amber but also some clear and cloudy ones but a lot of them amber. The look at her from my feeling she need still some time she also drinks a lot 5 liter a day that's from me a sign she takes some time and the Bud Hair's are mostly white not brown i would say 10-15 day's what you think?

Day 89

Wow, she is pretty and you kicked ass growing that auto. You still have quite a few white pistils on top which would indicate she may still have some time left. There's no reason not to take a few samples and get tuned in to the perfect harvest. Take a sample and get back to us and keep us posted. What strain auto is the plant?

Damn, nice beast

What variety is this(echoing Creeper's question)?
To me it looks like you got it right, 10-15 days and she will be done. Two more feedings and twice just water. Then harvest, dry, cure and enjoy the massive flowers.

Cheers

Looks a bit underfed, lots of buds which needed nutrients... But nice overall, will be some nice weed for sure. :rasta:

I run ~60-64% humidity at around 73F or so. The current auto I have is pretty good at keeping itself properly humidified most of the time. Usually though after about 6 hours of light it needs some humidity added.

You can play with the temps to help fine tune the humidity target.

There is coming a lot out of big spanish seed production, sometimes the same with just different breeder label.

I had some very good low cost seeds from ChuMajek in Spain too, nice Auto Blueberries, G13 x Hashplant( had grown 10 FEMs

) etc.

It's more hard today to get really bad seeds, the competition in this business is tough.

Like the others said before i would give them food 1 - 2 times and then only water till the harvest.

I go by that VFD chart and try to stay between 1.10 and 1.00 with the AC Infinity 67 controller. The problem I have is lights out and then it will go high, I limit to 75% before the fan comes on. If I try to maintain a 'proper' VFD RH at 65F or so then it will just run full speed and never hit the target.

When the dew point and humidity are high, I hold back the water in the last part of the flowering. I will give the plant just enough water to stay alive. I lose a lot of leaves in the end but it saves me from having to prune them after the chop.
