Doing okay on your third grow.👍 Don't worry about time as in weeks to harvest concentrate on what the plant says not what the breeder says on the packet. I would call week 7 flowering and look at about 6 weeks till harvest. All depends on how you like your trichomes I like mine to be brown and well developed. Cant see why people grow for 11 weeks then chop because the breeder says so when trichomes are clear and not milky. Autos are sensitive to nutrients and don't usually need the full percentage advised I usually have mine at 1/2 the recommended ratio. All good this time and its better not to water than over water have fun👍

@MommaDuke, Hi if you look at my two early diaries they were autos and took longer than the 11 weeks stated but Ive also noticed significantly that light schedule pays to be 18/6 with autos as my current diary shows. I previously did 12/12 and yield is reasonable. 18/6 pushes them and takes the time to near the breeders figures. Have fun and learn lots this diary keeping does help newbies like us and plenty of peeps give great advice👍

@kitkat332986, thank you! Your thoughts answered all my anxieties. Good to know on nutes for autos. It is progressing a bit more slowly than I expected, but I was imagining 9 weeks, all in. I'll let it go until it has the tell tale sign you note. It's doing very well and I have the lights finally right. Watering seems to be going well since I remove any overflow. But I'll cut back a bit more and see how it goes. I'll post another picture tomorrow. Thanks for writing.

@doggiedeb, I should have written "scuffed" the seed. After much research, it seemed people were having success with that due to allowing more water penetration. The cautionary tale is not to stress the seed as I've also read that's bad. One newbie to another - so what do I know? :-)

Your light is a bit to close i think. I'd back it off to about 24" if you see to much stretch then go to 19 or 20" from light to top of canopy.

@Rusticbuds, thank you for following up. Yes, I fixed the yellow spots by adding nutrients. Cal-Mag, Flora Grow, Bloom and Micro in recommended amounts and Dr. Earth 707P Organic 8 Bud & Bloom which I heard was good for autoflower - I'm using this sparingly and plan for every two weeks. Since getting all this right, things are going along well. No yellow on the new growth.

@MommaDuke, glad you got that figured out👍 I noticed your growing coco. What nutrients are you using and have you added any Cal-Mag yet? The yellowing of the leaves is probably lack of calcium and magnesium (Cal-Mag)

@Rusticbuds, thanks! I was having trouble confirming my email which was why I'm late in responding. Took your advice and things are still moving along well. Finally fixed my email too!

Finished growing the bottom buds. I got another 9 grams, dry, from the residual after letting it grown for and additional two weeks under lights. Very happy with the quality, if underwhelmed by amount. Still, an ounce about covered my expenses (if I'd had to buy weed) so anything after this is to the good. I have five plants growing now.
