Hello and auto questions

[Cooley]

HEY THERE! I’m a first timer and have dumb questions about Autos. This is supposedly Death Star Auto from PCB. The site claims 8 to 9 weeks to harvest. But, I came across a journal that talked about the same strain growing 12 weeks. Friends say 50 cloudy and 50 Amber is the right time, but they don’t do auto. So I’m confused. This is 4 days away from 9 weeks. It doesn’t look 50/50 it’s taking less water. And, flushing began 10 days ago. Theoretically, that means 2 more days until a 48 hour blackout and chop? BUT! It’s brother isn’t as happy. So, the debate is sequential harvest. IDK IF ITS TOO SOON? The goal is coach potato one hit wonder NOT light and easy. I will try to reply with a couple more pics below. Thanks I’m advance! :-)

No matter if it’s an auto or regular the breeders info is a ruff estimate at best. Your much better off going by the trichomes to determine chop. Your on the right track with the 50/50 of amber and cloudy if your looking for couch lock.

Those timelines are generalized. No two environments are the same typically. Use em more for a rough idea as to when to get ready to harvest.

Someone drank all the milk. Haha

I shared a couple pics below. I don’t think it’s Amber? But, it has a few yellow leaf tips. Would you feed again or keep flushing? Appreciate you!

You need a microscope to check the trichomes. Without knowing how far along the trichomes are it's hard to make a recommendation.

Thanks for the quick response. I posted a couple more photos below for better insight.

Do you have a photo similar to number 3 with Amber? Thanks again!

Check my profile pics for some close trichome shots. The third one has some Amber trichomes popping in it.

I’m on it. Sorry for double send!

You won't be able to tell just by looking at the buds with your eyes. You need to be able zoom in on them Trichomes with a 60x plus microscope or magnifying glass to get a good view at them.

Legendary!

You definitely don’t need a microscope to see trichomes. A magnifying glass will work or a jewelers loop is even better. You can pick both up at a hobby store usually.

This is true! A microscope is always my go to since it's what I personally enjoy using .

I’m actually deciding on what hand held digital microscope to get right now, but mostly just to get nice close up pictures.

This one has gotten me some frame worthy pics. I like it!
