Yes they were finished by my standard plenty of amber, this last crop a few were finished in 8 weeks and they were phenomenal smoke everyone agreed

Normally I would try to re-home it but I've got a fungus gnat issue and I don't want to risk passing it on, even after treatment. We'll have to see. I may use her as a bit of a test subject.

Very nice looking plant! I would bet it’s not properly done in less then 4 weeks though. The whole plant is still totally fresh new growth from the looks of it.

Sometimes autos bud out in little spurts. As the first spurt is maturing all the sudden another spurt of white hairs and another and another allowing a later harvest but more weight. But it looses sweetness. I wouldn't go but 2 weeks longer than the breeder says as a general rule.

We will find out soon! It’s official “finish” date is 2nd May which is only 3 weeks away.

Just for reference I took this pic 5 mins ago. Still reckon it won’t be done in 3 weeks? Will be honestly really interesting to see. Even I’m curious aha

I guess we will see 
. I don’t believe in harvesting plants while they are still trying to grow fresh buds and not fully mature I’ve NEVER gotten a better result from that. It might totally surprise me and mature super fast.
Admittedly I don’t grow many autos, but I’ve watched many many people grow them and smoke report on them. Based on my results and those of others I’ve read I don’t believe they really mature much different from photos. Many photo plants grow in waves as well. If you let the plant get to it’s finished point in my experience it’s always got higher yields and better quality smoke.

What light was that?

An autocob from cobshop.net.
I think the guy that makes them used to be a member here on RIU. You can still find him active on AFN (BigSm0).
They are kind of nice as a single pendant light that you can adjust per plant. Kind of convenient to grow auto's at different stages if thats your thing.

How do you guys feel about starting autos in small pots of coco then transplanting at week 3?

Why even transplant? 6", 2.75 liter plastic pot of coco. 3 weeks flowering.

Nice looking plant! So ar 3gal hard pots of coco overkill? Should I go with 2 gal instead? I’m working with white widow auto flowers from ILGM their seed to harvest in 70-80 days

Autos can get rather large depending on grow methods .... I grow pretty large girls in simple 1 gallon grow bags and Hempy buckets.
The “ buckets “ are simple kid’s sand pails with 3:1 perlite / vermiculite mix on GH MAXIBLOOM powder. As far grow bags , I run a layered soil mix ( FFOF / EB Stone ) with minor EWC addition ( 10%of container volume ) and a scoop of Great White myco to get party started. I have done 3 and 5 gallon grows but like the fact that entire medium is used and NO BOTTLE NUTES involved. I get nice dense root balls and no waste. I found I get BIGGER yields by dividing 5 gallon grow into individual 1 gallon bags x 5 .
The key is knowing you only have to keep the autos happy for about 90 days ( average lifespan ).
