Will my buds get any fatter? If so, how much longer until they're done flowering?

This is my first grow. I'm using a 250 watt HPS lamp & 2 T5 side lights. They've been growing for about 8 weeks now and flowering for the past 4. The strain is a candy kush auto flower. My original understanding was that it would be about a 65-70 day growing period from seed till harvest. I'm at day 59 and im not sure if they'll be ready in the next 5-10 days. Will the buds fatten up in that time or will it be longer?

Cant see really well, but..it looks like they proably have farther to go then 10 days..also the flowering time is usually based on the moment you see pistils form, so that would technically be day one of flower when you see those begin to form, the first week or two is usually just pre flower/stretch doesnt really count towards flower time.

I've been using technaflora products for nutes. They're in a hydroponic cabinet so yeah, they are pretty cramped. I've been trying to control the height since veg; topping, cropping, & tying down, but there's only so much you can do in that amount of space. Next time I'll go with a shorter strain. Thinking back, I probably should've started flowering earlier.

At least you know what mistakes you made and how to correct them next time. How big is your space? Look into scrogging

Sorry but....... I don't know of ANY variety that only runs a 65 day grow cycle from seed to finish... Especially when the shortest flowering time I know of, of ANY plant is 65 days. At 4 weeks flowering, you still have another 4 weeks to go, at least.

The pistils haven't even started changing, really, yet....


There's lots of misinformation out there, being given by people all the way around, from the breeders to the seeders to the folks that give advice on here.

Don't sell yourself short H.E., you may have been told that, and they're wrong, or it could be that you're both right, and the plant is being obstinate. Regardless, I don't go buy "Days", I go by when the plants are done, when about 30%- 50% of the trichs are gleaming amber, and the buds are throwing off fox tails =)... and the pistils are all brown and receding back into their shells.

YUMMY!

Nice job by the way.... Once you get your space limitations worked out, you'll be flyin'.
