Harvest autoflower so soon?
Misanthropestarted grow question 2 years ago
Auto Gelato from Ganja Farmer. Its day 58 and the trichomes are cloudy and the pistils are red/orange. The buds are beautiful and fragrant but still pretty small. Can she really be nearing harvest in less than 2 months? Is bud size typically lost in favour of speed with autos?

Autos are all I grow and I love them! But they CAN be troublesome, especially to growers who like to tinker with this, that and the other thing... for me, they're pretty straight forward...
I agree with @Roberts in that you seem to have given it too much nitrogen in the flowering stage... they need a trace of it, certainly, but they really need a lot of potassium and phosphorus as this is what will boost bud development. Too much nitrogen in flowering can and often does cause a calcium lockout... but you have no problem with that deficiency so no worries! Just making a point.
That being said, you have what you have.... I don't think you're quite ready yet as I'm not seeing any signs of fade in your plants... you might knock off any component of your nutes that has any nitrogen in it (your Maxibloom is the only one you're feeding them with nitrogen and it's got a lot) and run with that for a bit... As for the trichs, you'll want to see about 10-20% turn amber before you harvest so you might have another week or two if they're all milky at the moment. Don't wait much longer... the more amber they get, the less THC they'll have and the more disappointing your smoke...
Good luck!

It is possible. If autos are not in the right substrate plus fed the right diet at right times they can disappoint. I have grown several over half lb dry auto flowers. Autos are for more skilled growers, but noone ever says it. Grow weed fast is a great marketing tool. Also looks like you had too much nitrogen in flowering. Nitrogen can hinder bud development when levels are elevated in flowering.

Because people think my blunt answers are rude...autos are the work of the devil and pure pot luck.
Fell for the lure of fast high yield harvests myself with none particularly endearing themselves to me.
Auto is only good for guerilla outdoor grows in my opinion, you know, middle of nowhere or up a tree in a fabric pot.
Sorry you're disappointed, it's never going to do much outdoors and you don't get much time.e to bulk them much indoors, pain in the backside.
I'm sure someone will be along to suggest a good strain or war and peace answer how to grow the next one soon.
Auto,it'll give you a smoke whatever happens.
Toodle and polite best wishes.

It says Very short grow (up to 65 days) on the seed description, so yes.

Your opinions on when to harvestHi, I'd really like to know your opiniions on harvest. As a newbie I'm still trying to figure out when to chop her down. My goal is a strong psychoactive high with some body relexation (maybe 20% amber?). I think I will give her another week. What do you guys think? Thanks!

Browning stemI just came back after 10 days of holidays and unfortunately my ladies didn’t take well my absence even though they were watered.
One branch was totally withered then checking the stem I realized it was brown in a quite large part.
What is this? How can I save the plant?

What to do? → BF Runtz Auto - Day 42 - RH70, 80F in BioBizz Light SoilOn my last post, I was advised I have N tox, so I watered w/o BioGrow, just BioBloom and it's gotten much worse. The runoff EC was 1.5 (watered with 0.8, runoff pH was okay), so I’m guessing it's salt buildup. I plan to flush when this watering dries out—any thoughts?

Harvest or leave in the sun for a while?My plant got way too little light inside when i tried a 12/12 light rhythm. now it looks like the trichromes are getting milky already even though the buds are tiny. Should I harvest to avoid losing thc or leave them outside in the sun for a while still so they might grow ?

Is it safe to tweak your light cycle times when you flip?I'm getting ready to flip and was hoping to adjust the cycle time when I do. My light is currently on from midnight to 6pm, but would like to switch to 9am-9pm or 11am-11pm to better align with my schedule. Am I safe to adjust or should I keep it at 12am-12pm when I flip?
