Autoflowers turning out to be photos....help please

You new growers need to stop focusing so much on the trichomes. It's causing many to harvest way to soon. I know there is some chart floating around and people have started to believe that the trichomes don't lie. They do. Now people are harvesting based on the trichomes for a head or body high. It's gotten ridiculous.

That plant is a long ways away from being done. Had you chopped because of your belief it was ready because of some cloudy trichomes you would have had a bunch of fluffy immature weed.

There is so much bad information out when it comes to growing cannabis it's actually detrimental to new growers.
Thank you very much for your reply. I will definitely follow your advice. That’s why I came here.
 
Hello - this is only my second batch and they were supposed to all be autos. They were a year old purchased from growers choice and The second batch took a long time to flower. I even have an AK 47 auto that is at 17 weeks. My gorilla glue auto is just now showing bud sites. It had been in the pre-flower for quite some time. Because I was an idiot and didn’t think to switch the lights. It’s a beautiful plant and I need to send pics, but was just wondering if anyone else has ever gone that long growing a photo?

Dude I have moms that have been vegging out for 10+ months. Every now and then ill toss them into flower or like here recently toss them outside for an outdoor grow. They're fine.

This is my Royal Queen Seeds Auto Jack Herer "auto"...supposedly 7 - 8 weeks, shes at week 16 and still going strong. Some seed banks clearly havent got their auto genetics sorted, not enough ruderalis, and you have a photo.
Ive grown 3 Dutch Passion autos, a week or 2 longer than advertised but i can live with that. They have some really good autos, ive been really happy with my 3, good yield as well, all 3 roughly 180gm each under a 135w QB.
Cheers!

I'm still wondering what issues year old seeds can cause
I'm running some 10yr old tga beans. What kind of issues am I gonna have?
Growers choice? Dont they make subpar lights and bulbs as well? Or some bozo stole the name to get people to trust him?

It was just appearing like you were being sarcastic. There are plenty of reputable articles regarding seeds that are older. I was just asking a question if anyone else noticed that it took longer for them to mature and wondered if it was because of older seeds.
My comment wasn't to you. That's why I used the quote feature.
