Week 14
Day 92 (10/16)
Checked her trichomes and she's just starting to show some amber. She may need watered tonight, probably will add in some Mammoth P and molasses too.
Day 93 (10/17)
I've been slacking on updates and pics, but there's just not too much to say or document. She's still doing her thing, really looking more frosty than the first partial harvest. Thinking I should have waited a bit longer for the first cut, but oh well, it still gets the job done. I have held off on watering as her pot is still pretty heavy. It was lighter this morning so maybe this afternoon I will water her. I'm keeping an eye on her trichomes as I want there to be more amber for the final harvest.
Day 94 (10/18)
Everything from the partial harvest has been dried and I finally weighed it all. Came out to around 48.5g (including the 4-5g we've been smoking on). There's still plenty more on her. Everything has been jarred up for a few days and I've got Boveda packs in the jars too.
Day 98 (10/22)
Checked the trichomes this morning and I think I might put her in the dark for 48 hours starting tomorrow night. She's turning into a fuggin 100 day auto.
Day 99 (10/23)
Well, I made the executive decision to prep her for harvest. When her lights went off last night, I unplugged it from the timer so she'll have her 48 hours of dark. I also added some ice cubes around her base. I've read about the dark helping and the ice simulating a frost, but I've never done this so we'll see. Shouldn't hurt right? So I'll be harvesting her Saturday night or Sunday. And hopefully popping another over the weekend 😃
Day 100 (10/24)
Well she's been in the dark almost her 48 hours. I have family in town tonight, so she may have to wait until tomorrow to get cut. Or I might just stay up half the night and get her down tonight lol. We'll see.
Day 101 (10/25)
Technically week 15, but who's counting. Cut her down today. Got her cleaned up and into paper bags to dry. Will get a weight and post the harvest once she's dry. Getting another one ready to go 😉

Grow Questions
DogterBstarted grow question 4 years ago
Not the best pics, but do these trichomes look cloudy? First time trying the microscope, still working on technique. I don't even know if these are on the bud or leaves lol. I'm just trying to get a sense of what clear vs cloudy looks like.

Hey there DogterB, looking at trichomes is a whole thing. Try looking through a few different places on the plant. You want to hit up like the side colas top and bottom, the main cola top and bottom, take a look at the flowers and the sugar leafs, there will be some places either than others to measure. Sometimes it's necessary to have a " stabilizer " to take the measurement aswell... i just use my own fingers for that. You're doing good man, thanks for the pictures. Remember though :you're doing this for you, so as long as you can take the measurements for yourself , that's good enough like you dont need to get a headache from taking pictures ya get me? anyway, you're basically 70/80% cloudy if not more already. Hope this helps ! 🚀
DogterBstarted grow question 4 years ago
Since I am seeing some cloudy trichomes, what kind of timeframe am I looking at moving forward? I'm thinking I want to harvest when I'm between 20-50% amber trichomes, so when I start to see some amber, about how long do I have before I need to chop? Days? Week?

Hey Growmie,
Once you start seeing amber trichomes it's going to take about 2 weeks for it to reach the 20 - 50% amber trichomes your looking for, then chop her down. Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
DogterBstarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm close to harvest but my lower buds are still showing white pistils. Do I wait until they are ready as well? Any tips on trying to get them to mature? I was thinking of some defoliation but am hesitant as a first time and that it's an auto...

Hello
You've got a very nice full canopy and the plants definitely far enough along that i would defoliate just to send more light to the bottom. Maybe a 20% removal. If the upper buds are ready way before the bottoms you can also do a partial harvest and then let the rest mature over the next week.
Happy harvesting. ✌️

Having similar yellowing issues with my plant, but was not feeding with every watering. I thought it was nutrient lockout too but it hasn't gotten better. You're a week or 2 ahead of me so learning from your grow. THX>

@Latestagecapitalist420, no problem! An old Eskimo told me once, "Learn from others mistakes, life's too short to make them all yourself". Hope my mess-ups help lol. Good luck!

@DogterB,
To be honest if you're running autos and want to keep a perpetual harvest happening...it's time to fire up a couple more.👍
I knew someone on here who only ran autos and did a perpetual where every 3 weeks there was a harvest and germination.

"A few days ago I moved the light down quite a bit, and when I got home last night a lot of the upper leaves had gotten pretty yellow. I figured it was light bleaching so I moved the light up some to about 13" above the tallest cola point." It's not light bleaching what is it? It's the increased rates of Transportation (from the higher amounts of photosynthesis) the foliage gets sacrificed in favor of transporting nutrients to the buds.. Yellowing in later flower phases can be a good sign :) it can tend to mean the plant is processing the nutrients it is intaking.

@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, thanks for the info! I assumed it was light bleaching due to it being only on the parts closest to the light and it happened so quickly after lowering the light. Always learning lol
