What color are the pistols, mostly not white? Do you have a microscope ? The handheld 60 - 100 x are great, cost 10$. What do the trichomes look like? They go from clear to cloudy to cracked cloudy when they are cracked cloudy they have the buzz i like. Amber can be a sign of doneness or just a good sign in sativas. Black can be a good color or mean the thc is starting to degrade if it comes late. Your plants will get you buzzed now but I can't tell if they are 100% ready. If they are ready ,leaving them more time makes the high more thick in indica type quality also fuller imo but early is more clear headed.. have you read a book? A grow bible by George Cervantes or ed Rosenthal or any of hundreds would help along with a couple grows and this forum should put you where you want to be baring incident. Thc degrades rather slowly but can develop over night so unless you desire clear headed stone or you really want no drag and you don't have mold or something there is no harm in letting it grow long. Sativas gain character over time. Commercial seeds tend to go around 8 weeks cuz demand for short cycles.. enjoy. what strain you got there?

Not sure what strain it is. I got some good bud once and out of about 4 oz's I got 2 seeds. Both sprouted and both females but one dwarf. Looks pretty and smells amazing. Got some OG too.

Also this is my first full grow. I have read so much and a lot of it is BS of you ask me. I'm sure to get the max out of a plant everything has to be perfect but if it's legal for me to have 12 plants then I'll do that. 6 veg 6 flower and hope for 6-8 oz's per harvest. I have a scope also and I see plenty of Amber but still a lot of lower bud growth. Looking to get the most I can without worrying about mold. I do have fresh air flow and 4 fans so I should be good.

They could possibly be getting root bound.

amber doesn't always mean done. it only happens in sativa and sometimes early, sometimes late. 90% cloudy with cracked cloudy sounds ready. it could be that most of the triches are ripe but it was still producing more trichomes later so you have 10 % immature when the rest is ready.
recommend 3 gal root pouches . they are about 10 inch around and not too tall. if you are growing ful size plants you will see a difference in size and yeild with up to 5 gal pots. Air pots are better and allow you to use smaller pots with out getting pot bound but those out door monster bushes you see aren't even possible in 5 gal smart pots.
i noticed root pouch pots took up less space then smart pots 3 gall is actually called size 3 now or something .
with autos does it take aprox. 8 weeks from seed or 8 weeks from first bloom?

they said it was 9 week strain seed-harvest. Fast and vast... I had 6 bushy girls in my 1m2 tent, my inexperience let them be that way until 10 week of life, then i pruned them , all under my canopy was undeveloped.. And I did partial harvest,..I started to grow my own because I wanted better weed, except taste and cure I still havn't been satisfied with potency..I grew mephisto, dinafem,GHS, Pyramid and nothing was woow.!! All was taken off with all mikly trihomes.. I even did 3 photo sensitive girls, and that was non mentionble high.. I must say that this Albanian/BiH weed that we are getting here in Croatia isnt better than my grows either.. So Am I shitty grower , or should I stop smoking.. I must say that i dont think its pots fault google TAng he grows in 15l air pots , and has monster grows..
I like heavy narcotic my eyes cant be open high, coz I smoke for sleeping, i didn't have that kind of high last 10 years...And I'm smoking since 2001g
Vast and Fast at her 80 dayish

I'm not sure exactly about your growing skills as I'm fairly new at growing. I also look for that heavy high. I'm letting my girls go as long as they need to or until I'm satisfied. I'll be happy with 50/50 Amber/milky. I still buy my bud from a friend who has a few kinds to choose from and I can always try before I buy so it's nice and cheap. If my bud sucks I'll just give it to my wife and buy my own. Ever see pink bud?

those are some nice pink pistols .
i get pink hairs some times for a few days on a bubble gum. there is a pink trichome phenomenon that is more rare that a guy on here has one strain of and is selling seeds. i have turned bud white with vinegar but it dies .

the seed banks tend to sell alot of mids (keep looking i guess). plants can get root bound in too small a pot but not cloth pots as much, however even a smaller cloth pot will limit growth. is most of the bud mid grade in Croatia? have you noticed the bud get better or worse at some point?

fact is that in every grow I had to pull them earlier than I wanted...

The first plant I ever grew I cut early due to inexperience and I still regret it almost a year later.

I veg in late summer months and flower in the winter. My girls are taking their sweet time finishing up and it's getting warm out so I had to spend a few bucks on a dehumidifier and a couple more fans. It's worth the money to get those last couple weeks of swelling.
