@DrOgkush Yes and I made a major fuckup
I did NOT keep a growing diary, from the start
When I started taking notes I did so in excel and I made a one month typo in my sheet
Seedlings showed 14/4 NOT 14/3 so the plants are 30 days younger)

Also learned that autoflowers do not always stick to the stated ammount of days


A lot of what I see is completely new to me...I am familiar with the end product in a wee little bag
The stages in between are an absolutely fabulous wonder .
The amount of gain in volume on the buds /flowers overnight

When I noticed brown pistils for the first time (second photo) i got enthusiastic ;)

It is very hard to get a sharp picture over the camera but the end of the actual pistils is still clear
Just wait 5 weeks. And you'll be happy you did.

Dude it's not just autos that don't adhere to breeder times. None of these packs of seeds you see are correct. Honestly if one did find one that was done PROPERLY and lined up with a breeders count I'd probably shkt myself. Get a picture of the full plant and post it.

Sadly there's just too many variables. I like to believe that they're not that dishonest however, it's based on the cut they ran in their environment with their gear. Also with a whole of other things that will not match your gear or environment.

Well you also gotta look at the equipment at their disposal....some feed multiple times a day under monster lights and perfect environment for their strains.

@Lordhooha & @Dank Bongula That is a true thing ...and I dont have a pro setup as such
again I only just realized I was a month off... I used that excel calculation as how old they were
Seriously this is like being a kid and waiting for your birthday or x-mas .....
It feels like seeded them in January ;)

And that 5 weeks that I have been hearing makes sense with that extra/lost month

HI
First (time) grow(er)

IS this ready to kill lights for 48h and stop watering ? (before the chop)
Or leave it a few more days

Nope. Clear case of you need to wait…like wait for more weight because those babies could show you a lot more mass before theyre done. The Flowers are all white and crystals look very clear(need magnifying glass to see for sure) enjoy this time.

They look really good, let them finish and you’ll be very glad u did.

growing pot is a game of patience, looks like ya got some decent genetics too.

I’ll say 6 to 8 weeks togo, plenty of time to read up on how to trim dry and cure buds, good luck mate.

Patience...what is that ? Can you buy that? LOL
It is really amazing to see how the flower/bud changes overnight... your garden peas do not do that
Still feeling stupid on the 1 month calculation mistake I made ..

Also a query
You know the way they list outdoor per plant and indoor per m2
I started off with 3 plants in this tent and I had to move one outside ... simply no space
(you would not be able to move a plant without risk of breaking intertwined branches)

As I had no training done I thought it would be 4/m2 (having 3/4 of a meter = 3 plants?

But back to the question ..
Anyone got any data on yield per m2 but with various nr of plants... Does adding dropping a plant make a huge difference in yield and quality?

patience or how long till they finish is determined by the strain and the genetics of what your growing.

I’ve just about finished these dead on 8 weeks of 12/12

Then I have a few sativas that will take 12 - 16 weeks of 12/12

Don’t feel stupid, from my experience you never stop learning ever so embrace it.

You’ve got awhile come back in about 6 weeks and we’ll see where they’re at.

Those in the top pic doesn't look ready either. Maybe another 2 to 3 weeks.

That’s a good observation, I should of said last run finished dead on 8 weeks, this current run taking a bit longer with the colder temps.

guess I’ll l have to be patient lol.

There's nothing wrong with that...enjoy the anticipation and those flowers will just be that much better.

I dropped a plant from the group I started with and noticed the others filled the space quickly in early flower. I dont think i lost any yield. Most likely that leggy pheno wouldve taken up good bud space.
