Pro-tip: If an auto breeder claims anything less than 100 days, count that as flower time, not from seed.
It's better not to pay any attention to breeder estimates though.
There is no such thing as a 65 day auto from seed to harvest like a LOT try to claim.

You might be right. Just tried an af that was noted for ten wk. One branch turned color cause it too close to a light. The rest probably needed more time no doubt. Trichromes are the only true indicator. From now on I'm going by color not sales whoopie. Can't say I didn't get something from the Sky Walker OG af but it's what I missed I worry about.

Those that are claiming 65 days are harvesting early because they probably saw a couple of amber trichomes and think that's all that matters because of that crappy chart floating around that shows plants with 50% white pistils being ready to harvest.

This is that worthless chart some people go buy that tells people to harvest early. Notice it says 50-70% of white hairs have darkened? That means they're saying that when 30-50% of pistils are still white the plant is ready to harvest. That is terrible information from a terrible site that many use. It's full of nothing but cut and paste from other sites and terrible information on growing cannabis and broscience galore.

It's a certainty that many go by this chart and harvest much too soon. I put a red X through it because it shouldn't be used.

I think it looks like that because he hoses the entire plant down with water.

I just looked again, looks like some leaves has yellowish white bite marks, other than the white things that looks like bugs.
Cannot zoom much more :-(

That foil is damn near pointless being all crinkled up like that. If your going to use aluminum foil as a reflective material. Your best use is minimal wrinkles. Shiny side out.

brings me back to 09 lol

Definitely no bugs, the yellowing on some tips is from nute burn early on, I just wanted to know how long it will take until I can chop.it down, I guessed 2 or 3 weeks based on how they look now

If it were me, I would give it 4-6 weeks

Definitely not 2-3 weeks...I have two autos at 87 days that look much further along than yours and they are most likely gonna go a full two weeks more. At day 100 I will start eyeballing them a little closer.

Here's a tip for you, instead of using Aluminium foil use Mylar foil instead! :blsmoke: And this plant is at least 4 weeks away yet.
