Harvest and start again? Failed flowering

Tatace · Apr 13, 2023

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask an opinion on the buds you are seeing. Growth went very well until about a month ago when everything stopped, except for the already compact buds. I'm thinking of harvesting everything and using these poorly formed buds to produce wax or hash, I'm really disheartened because everything has stopped for several weeks and many of the pistils are already turning dark. Humidity and temperature are perfect (I use a VPD chart) I think I screwed up super-cropping and overdoing the kelp extract during the first few weeks of flowering. Do you recommend to wait any longer or harvest and proceed with another run?

Is that an autoflower?

Yes, sorry I forgot to specify, it's over 15 weeks old

I'm not an expert but I am seeing a lot of guys with autos like that and they went back into veg. for some reason. Pretty sure it's done but someone else on here will know for sure. Maybe make bubble hash.

Thanks for the answer, I think it's just like you say, at the bottom the plant is growing new shots. Now I wonder if it's my fault or if it's a problem with the seeds because in case, given the 55 euros, I feel a bit cheated (Gorilla Cookies Fastbuds). However any other opinion is welcome

It's a sativa so it's going to need a long flower but being an auto it will start to reveg at some stage and by the sounds of it it's started down low!!
I'd pull it and get ya next lot in!!

I think this is a genetics issue, rather than something you did wrong.

It seems to me that many auto breeders don't have it down yet. We see pictures of undesirable, shitty plants like this all the time here.

Unless there's a very good reason to grow autos, try growing photos. Also, find good breeders you would like to try, rather than a strain you'd like to try. Then find seed sellers that sell that breeder's work.

There's nothing wrong with finding a strain you'd like to try, but if you do, buy it from either the breeder who created it or a reputable breeder who has been working with it. There are a lot of hack seed sellers out there today, who sell popular strains that were poorly bred. I don't want to mention any names, but seed sellers with names that sound similar to Crap King and Pacifier Seeds should be avoided by people who don't want to buy second-rate garbage.

I didn't wanna say it but you already said it. Terrible genetics. I had a strain like that a few months back and pist me off I didn't even let it finish lmao

There's a real clown show of pollen chucked crap now, too. So many newbies are picking up growing that these hacks have a market until the newbies figure it out.

i swear i think the same. Never tried autos but heard they are finicky and special divas the lot of em. Personaly id rather take longer to find good seeds. thats just me though.
