Any chance in hell this "60-65" Day Auto will be done in 75 Days? lol

This 60-65 day Auto I am growing is currently on Day 61 from seedling (lol) and It's still all scraggly and immature looking (A good majority of the Trichomes are cloudy, however) since it's already been 61+ days I stopped feeding Liquid KoolBloom and replaced with Dry KoolBloom along with my other base nutes, was planning to run this for about a week then start flushing but damn this plant feels like it has a long ways to go. I want it harvested within 2 weeks tops because I am hoping it's dry enough to take with me on a weekend trip mid next month.

Is it possible it will make some 'incredible' transformation in the short amount of time I am hoping is left?

Info:

Grown under 600W Metal Halide until it really started initial flowering and has been under a 600W HPS ever since, also has been getting hit by 2 Reptisun 10.0 48" UV lights past few days. I am feeding Lucas Formula plus Floralicious plus, KoolBloom, FloraNectar and am reading around ~1200ppm. I really expected this plant to be a lot further along by now, I knew the '60-65 days from seed' was going to be complete bullshit but I didn't think it would be THIS far off. How much time do you think I have left here? Like I said a lot of cloudy trichs and maybe just BARELY the onset of a couple ambers if I look real hard but almost non-existent.

Plant is in 5gallon DWC bucket.






Currently under 600W Metal Halide again, just switched it literally 30 minutes ago but am wondering if I should put the HPS back... it was for the sake of getting a non yellow photo for once.

The terrible looking leaves occurred a long time ago and is not a recent issue.


EDIT: I just ran across another strain site that claims 60-69 days, that sounds slightly more on point but still a little optimistic. I hope 75 days will work, that's exactly 2 weeks from now.

Looks good, needs more time for sure, I think your right keep that baby going for a while yet. Is that purple from a light?
Yeah the purple was caused by auto color correction, not entirely accurate. I saw someone elses journal same strain he cut at 79 days and looked much more mature so I think it will really start ripening soon. I am growing it under 24/0 light too wondering if I introduced 4 hours of darkness til the end if it would have any effect.

Buds pack on a great deal of their weight in the last few weeks. You'll likely see an explosion of growth this week judging by how it looks now.

I guess it's worth mentioning that I don't really like autoflowering strains. I've never tried growing or smoking them, but you can't clone, you can't prevent flowering, you can't veg to a size you want, and it takes 18-24 hours of light a day instead of 12 for the majority of the flowering period, so way more electricity. I guess I just don't see the point.

I agree with you, I don't grow Autos either (this was a free seed I received with an order of normal seeds) but what the hell it's my 1 time adventure I guess.
