Still phd water only. I might try LST tomorrow (on day 17). I ended up doing LST on day 19. Removed two leaves on D20. Still only water, I might have overwatered a bit, so I won't give any for as long as the sop of the soil feels dry.
I spotted yellowong between vein on some leaves. Probably the nitrogen run out in the soil, so I added the first nutrient on day 27. Let's see how she reacts.
A did very light LST theoughout the week, trying to get the plant to cover the pot - with minimal success. It is bushy, but doesn't stretch much.
Finally I figured out the leaves tell me Magnesium deficiency and it's probably because I overdid pH lowering. I try now ph 6.8+ and see what happens. Apart from the slight intervenial chlorosis it is growing quickly. I hope it'll start flowering next week.
All is well, we were away for 4 days and I could only create a very basic drip irrigation system, but it survived without any visible hint of low water stress. Buds keep fattening, but pystils are still all white.
This is my first grow, all went well, the colas are huge, fat, many trichomes, etc. But the pistils are mostly white, no amber trichomes, so she seems to be not ready at day 80. Most diaries of the same strain were ready by this time. Should I just wait or something is wrong?
Nothing is wrong. Let it ride.. personally I’d probably chop in a week or so depending on how it looks.
Just remember this - with autos especially you cannot compare grow times with others. They are finicky and some will take 70 days and some will take 120. Even happens from the same genetics/seeds
First grower here, trying to figure out when to chop my Auto Brooklyn Sunrise. It gets only phd water for 10 days now. What do you guys think?

I would say you're with in 10 days. I would keep monitoring your trichomes. I like just a few more ambers than you got, not very many more, but more. There were several shots of clear mixed with cloudy too. You def want more cloudy. If it is possible get a couple of shots of the trichs on the inside of the buds themselves. Sometimes sugar leaves will amber up from bruising in my opinion where your bud trichs wont lie to you...
I would say in each one of those pictures (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12) you want at least 1 or 2 trichs that look like the ones in Picture #2 & #4. You are so close. The difference of another week is going to stone you so much more... Some people like the racy buzz, which I would say your in the middle of now. If you had to pick it today it would do you ok.
- - Log story short - Check your Trichomes every 2 to 3 days from here on out. AND 10 days to 2 weeks.
trichomes half clear/cloudy harvest at this stage produce more energetic / speedy high +80% sativa
Highest level of THC when most trichomes are milky/cloudy this stage produce greatest euphoria and pain relieving effects sativa/hybrid
trichomes become more amber this stage produce relaxing couchlock reduces anxiety perfect for Indica
BTW check the buds not sugar leaves becouse sugar leaves turn cloddy/amber faster then buds
depends when those lily white pistils formed.. if still part of initial wave of bud development, i'd wait longer... if it's a new wave of recent growth caused by stress or light or genetics, then i'd consider how that impacts the bulk of your bud mass and make a personal choice on the matter.
your personality will be key.. because there's no solid info on this sort of complicated context to make more than an educated guess as to what is best. might as well do what makes you feel right in that type of situation, lol.
Not many amber trichomes, but I'd like more a head high so went ahead and chopped on day 93. This is my first grow and would have been satisfied with 60g dry weight, but just the main cola is 260g wet, total wet is close to 1 kg so I should be fine. Will come back with reports, I plan to make bubble hash and tinctures mostly since I don't smoke.
