Road Runner...Ready to harvest?

Greetings!
I was hoping to get some feedback on my auto flowering Road Runner. Basically, this is my first attempt at auto flowering strains. I'm just wondering if it's time to chop her down yet or should I wait a while longer? Sorry about the picture quality. I've already removed a number of leaves. Those remaining are all turning yellow and red. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Shit man! How long have they been flowering? The leaves turning yellow is not abnormal in late stages of flowering, but your buds look kinda small. Anyway the leaves usually turn yellow late in flowering because she's using all the sugars and food for bud production.

Hey, im starting my first auto grow-how many plants did u grow and what kind of lighting did you use?

What color are your trichomes? That will dictate when you chop 'em. Most people chop when the trichomes are cloudy, with a few starting to turn amber. If you want more of a couch-lock body stone, wait until more of them turn amber.

Sounds like a nasty fuckin strain...lemme know how it is..PM me. Wish u took some better pictures I'd like to get a better look at the buds

I put the seeds in soil on March 24th. They popped out on the 26th. Since it's an auto flowering strain, it should be ready. Not too happy with the size of the nugs. But they've got a ton of crystals. I also sampled a doobie's worth with my neighbor earlier this evening. One hit got me high. The second got me good and stoned. And the third hit put me in la-la land for about 3 hours. This should be some incredible smoke once cured. I'll try to take some better photos to post. I've got a small CFL grow going. 8 plants, all auto flowering strains....first attempt at these. Trichomes are about 75% amber, (love the couch lock). I chopped off the side branches this afternoon and will let the main cola go for a few more days. Don't expect much of a dry yield, but it's going to be some ass kicking smoke.

I had a nice taste of it earlier this evening. 3 hits and I was becoming one with my recliner! I'll try to snap some better pics and PM you in the next day or two.

Sweet...Im looking forward to it...

It is really hard to tell for sure with the pictures provided. The photo on the left could go for a lot longer - the one on the right looks like there may be a decent cola.

My camera took a dump on me, so I just ran out and picked up a new one. It's just a moderately priced Canon, but anything is better than the Kodak I had. So I'm charging the battery and reading the manual. Pics will be coming soon.......I promise. Just an FYI: I harvested the Road Runner, and as I was trimming it et.al. I see some "ball" shaped "thing-oids". I'm thinking hermie, but I've never really seen one up close & personal. Plus, these just don't look like male flowers. I'll take some shots of those too. Maybe someone who's into auto flowering strains can identify the thing-oid. The smoke is Great!
Anyway, I'll PM you soon with the pics.

Hey!

Where are those pics as promised? lol.

I am excited to see your results with DinaFem's Roadrunner.

Hopin' for an update...

Here is my fist experience with a free Roadrunner seed I received from The attitude bank.It turned out very well. I started this on March 26, 2010. I know this a little late post but for anyone who stumbles across it this is how it should look near budding. I used 5 regular feminzed strains, Super lemon haze, blue cheese, hash plant haze, and 2 white widows along with the Road runner auto flower. Under a 600w HPS in fox farm happy frog soil with 1/3 coarse perlite mixed in 5 gallon buckets. Used BMO nutrients only available through ebay. Took exactly 60 days to from germination to final bud. Any questions about autflowering PM me, I kinda got experience now and it seems mine turned out better than most. Oh and I accidently cut the main Cola off before taking a pic so my friend is holding it kinda near where it was attached in one of the images so you can see what it looked like lol.

High!

Thanks for the update. Better late than never at all, I always say.

What was the dried yield after sixty days from seed to harvest?
