3rd time growing an autogrow

[grasschatter]

Hi all, so glad to have this wonderful resource for botanical adventurers, Been growing this Blue Dream Autogrow for 75 days now. None of the trichomes appear to be amber with a jewelers eye. But the pistils are pretty brown. She sleeps in a darkened bathroom for 6 hours every day then 5 or 6 hours of led lights , then I move her out to the yard here in Asheville for about 10 hours or so. It's like having a 4 year old child that has not started daycare yet. From the pics is it ready to chop? Any advice will be appreciated.

I would wait until some trichomes turn amber. I grow autos and rarely is it done in the time they say. I've had some go to over 95 days. But it was like one day I didn't see many amber but the next day I saw enough.

Probably give it a week or so and see how they look. But I would check them daily.

Thanks, I will do just that.

I grew Blue Dream Auto from ILGM last year, and it took about 13 weeks, harvested because so many leaves were turning yellow and buds were nice and fat, but there were no amber trichomes at all. It kept putting out new white pistils as well til the end. Was afraid of getting bud rot. I think that when you move them around like you are doing (I do that as well, lol), The buds get to be high-quality but might not follow the rules as when grown under super-controlled conditions. I'd chop that plant whenever you are ready! But def won't hurt to let it go another couple weeks. Blueberry Dream Auto is a nice smoker, smooth and packs a punch!

Took 7 seeds to get 4 ILGM Apple Fritter Autos done. I have had 3 harvests at 84 days for 2, 89 for one and I have one still in at close to 100 days that is not done.
First 2 were low on nitrogen for 1/2 the grow never caught up. 2nd was topped dressed with EWC and did better and thus longer. The last plant was pretty aggressively top dressed with EWC and has done the best of all of the plants.
It looks like we learn the same thing on autos over and over. Any stress damages yield on an auto that can not be recouped.
All of my plants the end came quick within 2 days. Went from this.
