Humboldt Farms advertised this as 80 - 90 days from germ to harvest. It’s 61 days today and I am thinking it’s done. What say you guys?

I forgot about this one, even forgot the cross, but she'd go from green, to Black, and Blue. When I search my seeds, I'll figure it out. Decent yield, nice frost, and interesting colors.
That was a tester bud. It still needed time....It's coming back to me

Looks cloudy to me. It would be nice to get in a little closer. Thats a 20-30 day difference. Do you think they sent the wrong strain?

I didn't even have to look who grew that. You have some unique, consistent, nice yielding genetics there.
Now I gotta do a taste test

Looks cloudy yes but buds just don’t look finished to me yet still lots of white pistols poppin personally I’d let it go a bit longer

I don’t know. It is a new strain they introduced last fall. I think their website isn’t right. I think they estimated flowering time as a photo, but this is actually an autoflower. It’s at 9 weeks now. The trichs are all cloudy and pistils are either orange or gone. I think I’m taking the tops off today to hang and will leave the lower buds to finish more with better light penetration after the top canopy is removed.

Hoping to harvest soon.

I'm color blind, and that could be an issue. So, when it looks done wait a week. I'll tend to go until the plant has cannibilized, but that hss a lot to do with flush time, and how it was feed too.
Like i said, I'd need a closer look. I don't see any white pistols shooting, but thr often will if ya wait too long, and then you can take em too long (that's why I think trichs are the best indicator).
I can see shades, and they do look all cloudy. Pistols can be deceiving on some strains.
Doesn't look like 11-13 week strain. Too early, or too long csn be critical mistake

Look at my girl! Under my iL8x thriving and waiting maybe 2 more weeks to chop her down

To hard to get just one good photo atm so how about a video?

This is the early harvest. The rest will be harvested in a week.

This my first harvest and I'm over satisfied. Owe it all to you all. Thank you thank you thank you

I've had that happen years ago too. It was supposed to be a photo, and ended up an auto. I think the seeds got switched up. It happens. Auto's have come a very long way since I started. No auto I'd ever seen looked nearly that good
Unless they messed up in description??

You gotta watch our for those “”seed to harvest statements they are usually always wrong. Like I know on the bank I buy from they had one from 420fastbuds stated 0-60 seed to harvest and I laughed because that’s impossible for it stated output for grams per watt inside and outside. From the photo you can see they mean you get 80-90 days of germ seed veg transition before it hits flower, but no were so they state it’s actually flowering time

You mean Dodo's? Did you find their descendants in the Swamps of Florida while tending your crop?

You totally lost me on the 80 - 90 days germ seed veg transition before it hits flower.

What does that mean? Lol as I am clueless what that sentence means. I do know it’s day 61 and the top of that plant is done as are a number of its upper branch bud sites. I am going to give it a haircut over the weekend and leave the lower half to better light to finish it too.

I've got Auto's that produce results like these in approximately 75 days, seed->harvest... A mere 50ish days of flower. Results will vary depending on conditions, lighting, environment, feeding, ect, ect, ect...

Every grow is always different, and environmental conditions greatly effect the ripening of any flowers. Independent of genetics.
I've also got a strain growing that will take 98-140 days to simply flower...(Landrace Thai) Both of these are going to be bred to one another this go around.

But absolutely, someone who claims 60 days to harvest is most obviously talking about flowering times, it's an error. I think 49 days is about as fast as cannabis can flower, and if your speaking about autos, they need about 21 days to simply begin flowering, Do the math.

Certainly anything flowering below say 8 weeks tends to have reduced complexity IMO, it's simply too fast...

There's certainly different sweet spots for every strain, but nothing beats looking at the flower itself for ripeness IMO. I don't even track days of flowering anymore, unless I'm trying to document it for some reason, it's just a misleading number in my eyes.

I think daily temp average also play a huge role in how plants age and mature. Higher temps probably retard ripening to some degree, whereas cooler temps tend to prolong it, putting the pant into a form of stasis, while ideal temps accelerate it. But it seems largely tied to the sunlight exposure above all esle.

That looks like it's going to be some white ash, clean, potent, greezy..
I usually like my plants looking ugly as hell at harvest, vine ripen bud. Can't beat it!

Agree, although Sweet Tooth #4, was the quicest cannabis plant I've had to finish. It is extremely fast, and cash croppers dream. At least the clone only. Easy to grow health wise, but different than anything I've had to train. I could have cuttings shooting roots in 4 days with Dip n Grow (normally 7-13 days)
Strange plant, but dam good in quality, and yield once ya figured her out.
Frank, Autos did not look anything like that back in the day.... I'll grow one out one day

It's funny you say that, because that was my choice with breeding the original frankenstien... (Pictured below).
Washington's finest Photoperiod Kush (I could find at the time) meets Sweet Tooth Auto... (So. Oregon Seed Co.) That's how my first Auto was conceived, I wanted to add size and potency, and I was going to try my own hand at it for once...

I think the key to these things is keeping them leaning Photo, and showing their Photo traits, while maintaining a delicate balance with staying in flower. Most Auto's are far too Rudy IMO. It's one of the reasons why I'm so enamored with the prospects of zkittles, because it's so very stable.

Certain cultivars will lend themselves to Auto very very well... While others, not so much. There's perhaps luck in all of it, but there's got to be some sort of pattern here to make it predicable. I'm hoping that's the case anyhow.

I'm trying to breed instability with this next project, to see how far I can take it. Rudy x Landrace Thai.... If that's not unstable, nothing will be IMO.
Predictability should develop in regards to various sub species traits, I'm sure of it.
I think what's happening is depending on the breed, more Rudy needs to be bred in, to make it stable... If any of that makes any sense.

My mini Dos Si Dos Auto from Barney's Farm is my frostiest at the moment, starting to show a good bit of dark Amber as well.
