Harvest autoflower so soon?

Misanthrope
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.
