Is this autoflower ready for harvest?
ChiefSosa
started grow question 2y ago
This autoflower is about 9 weeks old, do you think it's ready for harvest? It's my first grow, so I don't want to harvest too early, but a large portion of the trichomes already look milky. Thanks for your help. Regards, Luis

10-14 days more. When there are 95-98% brown pistils, you will be in the harvest window.

you've got a while. calyxes aren't plump. also, trichomes on calyxes are what you want to look at. ignore trichomes on leaves.

Trichomes 4 couchlock ;)
I am about to harvest, cant take any pictures, but here's the description of the trichomes: - trichomes are all milky, and there's a little bit of amber showing. BUT, on some pieces of bud, there are only milky trichomes. Chop or not for a good couchlock?

To defoilate or not to defoilate.. that is the question!
I've always heard that you shouldn't "defoilate" auto flower cannabis, especially if they're a sativa to boot. With that being said, (looking at my pics for reference) should I do more defoliation? Would doing so really increase my yield significantly? Thanks

Start of rot?
Start of bud rot maybe? Only brown ish spot on the entire plant. Looks like it's just on the one vein coming from the bud. All other spots are green.

Start flushing for harvest?
Should I start flushing based off the few amber trichomes speckled throughout and the amount of orange hairs? Pictured is a tiny section, theres about 20 on the whole leaf. I wanted a couple more weeks of flower but seeing those amber trichomes has me rethinking.

Pollination worries
There is a bee infestation outside and there are supposedly male plants in my area in the yards around. I found 3 bees on my plants in the tent that snuck in the house somehow. Should I worry about pollination/ slow growth this late in bloom as an autoflower? 8th week from seed
