I know your suffering, brotha! My advice don't grow autoflowers just because they're "quick".
Yeah. I also choose autos because with current conditions I can't provide total darkness during their sleep. And as I can only grow single plant at a time I don't want to get a hermie *sob*
I do have a couple of photo seeds to grow as the weather improves!

Micro update
It's 56 days, so full 8 weeks. I though I'd start occasionaly post some trich shots:

It does not show very much, but it looks about 50/50 milky clear. Maybe more clear ones.

Looking good! I just started my own first grow, I'm about 10 days since I started germinating the seed. This grow gives me hope, since I'm also trying to grow in a very small space with CFL's. I built a box 2' x 2' and 6 feet high, and I have four plants growing, about an inch high now. I'll be curious to see what your yield is like. Nice work!

Day 61 from seed, 56 since sprouted:

Here are some lower buds:

And the main bud from the side:

It's not most frosty bud, but it is very nice *borat picture here*

Two days ago I chopped one of the lower buds, as I had to smoke some)) But here goes pre-harvest smoke report.
I took one of two very bottom "buds" and a one of the side branches. Express-dried it at 75°c(170° far&high) for about an hour. It overdried, maybe 45 minutes would be better. After the drying the weight was .38 of bud. It stayed overnight in a closed container with a mandarin peel and yesterday it was rolled and smoked. Because of the mandarin it smelled like a carrot cake! Smoke was a bit harsh, but the high was very head-centered.
The high was surprisingly strong for a 59 days from seed and well, it just shows me that I can basicaly harvest as planned.

So, as soon as I see some amber trichomes I'll harvest. The most she's got is a week!

Will post some trich shots a bit later.

Pre-final update, day 65 from seed, 60 since slrout.
Here is her last pic:

Today we with my gf sampled some from 62days and it's a bomb. So I decided to chop her. Even though most trichomes were milky with just a few amber popping here and there are some clear ones. It's a head, energetic high. Has me playing video games for hours.

So just 64 days from seed, and after cutting a few lower branches beforehand the wet harvest is around 72 grams. So dry should be around 20g, which is like 3/4oz. In a couple of days we'll see.

We'll be back with smoke report.

It was a great run.
