Do all autoflowers produce amber trichomes?

cactoman420started grow question 3 years ago

So I am approaching 15+ weeks on this plant and there is not a single amber trichome to be found anywhere.... The plant absolutely stinks and there are tons of milky trichomes so I am wondering if some strains just don't turn amber?

Correct, some strains will never have amber trichomes and some will have 70%+ amber after only 4 weeks of flowering, it is all down to genetics. This is why I am continually advocating for not basing your entire decision on when to harvest based ONLY on trichome colour. Once the plant has 98-99% brown pistils, they are in the "ready zone".

No clue, tbh... but I WILL say I think you could harvest now and have a magnificent result... you'll get more cerebral effects without any amber (no couch lock) so it's going to depend on what you want from your smoke. If you really want more body relaxing effects, wait another week, maybe two .... you'll probably see some amber. I'd check DAILY - 'cause some strains happen to mature REALLY quickly when you think all is lost.... Good luck - nice NICE looking grow!

Autoflowers are known for not going amber much.

Are these nanners developing?Can anyone identify if this is the early stages of nanners? The bright, lush green growth at middle top of picture is what concerns me in particular. I will likely chop tomorrow or the day after - but want to develop an eye for identifying nanners ASAP.

Is My Critical AUTO a Photoperiod Strain?I have 3 auto strains, 2x Thunderfuck and 1x Critical. The Thunderfuck plants bloomed normally and have been harvested. The Critical, except for a few light pre-flowers on one stem, hasn't bloomed. I suspect it might be a photoperiod. Should I put it in the tent at 12/12 or 18/6?

Auto(not)flowering One of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently. I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!

Genetics or budrot?Hi all, my Royal Jack Auto from RQS is in 7th to 8th week and on the tip of the main cola these red, brownish spots appeared. Humidity has been 50% yesterday and before 40-45%, plenty ventilation in the tent. Around 24 to 28 °C. Could this be the start of budrot or am I paranoid?

Trichomes don’t mature I’m flushing slowly, has been almost two week now. Just water with PH between 6.5 and 6.8. The plant seems ready, pistils are brown for 70%, yellow leaves are dropping off, but I don’t get why trichomes are still transparent, they aged slowly compared to the rest. Is it normal?
