Your plants still have swelling to do, this is the time they put on the most weight and potency

She's perfect
Nice plant/good work
Cut ASAP & start drying that bitch (that alone takes around 2 weeks)

I’d definitely remove those completely brown dead leaves and inspect the inside of those buds to make sure there is no bud rot.

So don't pay the length of completion by the breeder?
Atlas froot by the foot - 70 days. Mine at 80
Atlas grease gun - 80 days. Mine at 96
Mephistos double grape - 65 to 70 days. Mine at 80

Breeders, especially of auto's, lowball seed to harvest times to sell more seeds.

Very few plants need more than 10 weeks unless it's Sativa dom, then your looking at possibly 13 weeks.
I seem to have posted something that a lot off comments consider wrong/foolish.
To each it's own
your plant/plants are done.
Cut the fuckers on Thursday, it'll be fine.

Holy shit I just checked for rot and the smell was absolutely to die for. No rot. I keep the tent extremely clean. Every Sunday I clean it down. I remove the plants to water so there's no spills or standing water in the trays. The pots sit on wire rack 2-3" off the ground. The tent sits on 4 inches of foil faced rigid foam as a thermal break for the concrete.

There's also the debate as to when the official flowering time begins. If you begin the count when the buds start forming, the breeder's estimation usually isn't horribly far off of the mark.

That makes sense.

Bud rot is due to trapped moisture within the buds. Especially if they are fat. Cleaning doesn't do much to prevent it. Get those brown leaves out of there.

I have grown a few photo's that were close to the estimate.
Last grow my first of 4 was ready at 9 weeks of actual flowering, the last at 13.... It did make trimming alot more tolerable

It sucks because, as this being my 1st Grow, I'm basing feedings off that timeframe. I stopped feeding a couple of weeks ago. I fed Friday. I should have done a tea but I top dressed. I hope that doesn't screw me up.

I don't know anything about organics, but that's a very nice first grow.

Only possible with the help of people like yourself. Lot of great advice. I also paid close attention. Tried 3 different training techniques. Not a fair comparison as they are not the same strain. I topped 1 and I feel that one is less dense. The other 2 are monsters. Can't wait for round 2. Thinking of a bigger tent. My 4x3 can't fit much. I would love to run 6 plants at a time.

4 years growing in a 2x2.5' tent, my new 3x3' seems huge by comparison.

I'm using a 6" AC exhaust. I can go up. My light is also big enough for a bigger room. 5x5 would be perfect.
How many do you fit in your 3x3 and what's your average yield?

It was just my first grow in there 4 plants, and wasnt packed, but all said and done 10 oz of good bud and 2 oz of trim/larf.
My best in the little tent with 150w was 8oz, 2 plant scrog. Average in there was 5oz
The little tent produced more than enough for me, but was pretty jammed
