First time grow taking too long

Tle4 · Aug 29, 2025

I have my first grow. They are sour diesel autoflowers. They are about 9 weeks into flower and still not getting any amber. Maybe a few here or there. The seed sellers site says 9-10 weeks flower but in another spot it says 9-10 weeks from germination. Sugar leaves are drying out and getting crispy. My other plant has new pistols coming out now. Should I just cut them and start drying g or let them go longer

Also I think these where stunted growth from the beginning. Made some upgrades to lighting and it got better but I think they are lagging a bit . One of my two plants has airy buds and the other buds are more dense when you squeeze them. I did just start 2 more and they are off to a much better start then my first two

You can't really go by their suggestion. It's more of a guideline. Could be another week maybe. Keep an eye on the trichomes because they can turn amber pretty fast.

As for the crispy sugar leaves, I'm not sure. I think the few harvests I've done had yellowed crispy sugar leaves. You just don't want them dead where it can rot the bud.

I ended up just cutting and hanging them to dry today. I have 2 other plants I just started 2 and a half weeks ago go and moved them into the tent. Hopefully my second grow does better. They are the same seeds as the first grow. I did these ones in coco loco instead of a compost mix. They started out way better than my first try
