Autoflower 90 days is it ok?

Plenwish · Jun 27, 2024

Hi guys, it's my first grow. It's autoflower, almost 90 days, but according to documents it's 65-72 days lifespan. About 2 weeks ago new white hairs began to appear, now all buds full of them. Also there is this single smooth leaves appeared on buds and on second picture there bunch of them with new future buds. I was watching about 4 weeks on trichomes, and there are units of brown trichomes, almost none, all foggy. So is it ok? Is it stressed and revegging, maybe i need to harvest it. Need help.

Guess by the looks of it you keep going, i've had plants look within 2-3wks of harvest and then spit out new hairs just trying to pollinate. Looks like it got fried earlier now it's back to health, let it go i've seen an heard of 120day autos .

Thank you, I really appreciate your reply. And yes it was fried

That green is excess nitrogen. Next grow, feed less often. Water, but feed less often.

I just finished my first grow. Also an autoflower. I was advised early on to NOT put much stock in the expected harvest time. Now my Northern Lights was supposed to go 10 weeks. I started my flush at week 12, and harvested the final part of the plant at week 14.

HOWEVER, had I not started that flush at week 12, my plant would have EASILY gone 16-17 weeks. It was still trying to push out fan leaves and white pistils even as I sacrificed it so that I could start the plant I'm growing now.

Noted, thx. I suspected it, but at the same time i do fertilizers by schedule. If there is an opportunity to explain about EC PPM amount. I mean I saw this in table on some website Flowering stage 1.9.-2.3 EC or 1310-1610 ppm. I have 460 ppm 0.9 EC. So? I need more fertilizer to add or what? I add Biobizz 1cc Growmix and 4cc Bloom on liter.

Actually, I started to flush it at the time, but saw that pistils start to grow, so i started blasting :)

My problem was that I thought the add-on chemicals from Advanced Nutrients were just marketing BS. But a surpising number of them are actually important. Long story short, she missed the phosphorous/Potassium boost during flowering. By the time I realized it, her buds were stunted. So I decided to harvest her and start over, rather than drag it out.

She gave up 223g in the end.

I think it's VERY great end :)

Yeah, she turned out pretty impressive even if her buds were stunted. Fingers crossed I can at least replicate the results second time around.
Here she was 1 day before the first stage of harvest was performed:

That's a 32"x32"x63" tent. A DWC hydro grow. And (part of) Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Micro-Grow-Bloom nutrients. The light is a Bestva 2000 watt LED set-up. 18/6 light schedule for the entire grow.

I promise that it really was my first grow. It was the first plant of any kind that has ever lived longer than 30 days under my care.

Autoflower 90 days is it ok?
