If you are growing all autos your plants should do better under a 18/6 or 20/4 light cycle. I do have some autos under 12/12 at the moment but that’s only because I’m also growing photos. Before adding photos to the mix I ran my autos under a 20/4 light cycle from seed to harvest. They loved it! Also, regarding nutrients... Autos are a bit sensitive to nutrients. My autos ran into some nutrient burn issues when feeding nutrients at full strength, they seem to like 1/2 strengh much more. But overall i think your girls look well loved, keep it up!

Hello all! This plant looks mature and I have a microscope but the thing is I thing it has over ripened and, some trichomes fell off? Or let me tell you my trichomes never turned MILKY OR WHITE. Some of them are amber tho. Anyways, on growweedeasy.com there is a guide that says : Harvest even if your trichomes are not ready. I guess it will be more a gut feeling to chop or not chop. Any input greatly appreciated. And yes, I have chopped down the main cola and dried and smoked it. I guess it gets me high but I smoke all the time so it's hard to evaluate because I have also bought quality weed to smoke So guys, only from the photos, what do you think? My trichomes looks like half clear %10 amber. Do you think it could go to amber without stopping at milky? Or milky trichomes fell of but there was new growth and I could never see clear trichomes? INPUT ? :)

That's very odd that they didn't go milky at all. Maybe it's the way you are viewing them? Lighting can sometimes make milky and clear trichs look similar. If you are seeing a fair bit of amber then I would go ahead and harvest. The buds look nice and full and dense so they seem mature to me. The longer you let it go the more sleepy the high will be. If you like how the tester smoked then pull and dry it now. If you what you tried didn't give you enough of that couchlock body high then let em go a bit longer.

Nice size cola! I think this is the 87th day getting close to harvest! ;) This is 1 of the Critical Purples and one Tangerine Dream in the same tent! My First grow! I panicked my first ready looking plant didn't show any "CLOUDY" trichomes but now everyday I see "cloudy and white" trichomes on both tangerine dream AND the critical purples. Still, the most mature plant still not showing what I want BUT : I think I figured out why, I touched them a lot while growing and I damaged them! I can tell by the amber trichomes which somehow got damaged while touching them :) Because the first mature plant looks super mature (NOT the one in this diary) Moral of story : Don't touch your buds! Note to myself : I REPEAT DON'T TOUCH YOUR BUDS, you will damage trichomes, those are your indicators and if you lose your indicators you are flying blind

I had to make a partial harvest and dry and smoke some budz :) its pretty good. I dry them for 20 minutes twice with a little interval. Does not smell great but does not taste bad either. Otherwise I would go and buy weed?! Anyway. It’s all over a good high and if that’s what you want it’s great indica type. I have 3 other plants which I will harvest and dry and cure properly. Happy growing :)
