2 Weeks before harvest! After light stress, heat and fungus gnat infestation

Hey there guys&girls,

My second grow here! With much better setup and seeds


My seedlings have suffered from heat and light stress when they were a week old and i was not at home for 5 days... Here are the pics

Because of that stress they were not at their max potential both in veg and flowering.

They did not strech well too
it might be because of the stress they got as seedling, my light is not powerfull enough its 300W(125w actual) led light (and i was not able to find optimum distance from plant to light.) also i had a fungus gnat (small flies) infestation i've used Diatomaceous earth as the girls were at the flowering neem oil wasnt a choice.

Today was the last day that ive used fertilizers. From now on i will start to flush, as they are at their 9th week. But as ive said there is no strech
one of them maybe streched but not enough. Maybe i LST a lot ...

My questions are;

Should i defoliate the girls?
Will no strech effect the potency?
Do you think i could harvest after 2 weeks? As now the 70-80 pistils are brown and 3%of the triochomes are amber.

Here some info about the girls;

White Label Pure Power Plant Auto
Biobizz Grow (flo),Fish mix (veg), bloom
Advanced Nutrients: Overdrive, Budcandy
Biobizz Light Mix soil
I've always gave ph perfect water
300W (125 actual) led light


For Your Information;
White label pure power plant is ok for 18/6 and more light cycle than 18 Hours will stress the plant
White label white diesel haze auto have stressed out after continuous 18 hours of light

Thanks for the answers on advance!

thanks for the answer!

This auto strain has 10 Week from seed to harvest and also i see some amber trichomes. The last pic was from a week ago, i dont believe they need a month as they are not big because of the stresses they had

You have zero calyx swelling in those pics. That doesn’t all happen in two weeks.

@bk78 why do these guys ask when they already “know” the answer?

I know nothing... I just told what i've believed :) And here to discuss it "kindly" If a month is the case could there be any strech? And also i should not start to flush dont i?

Thanks

They look around a month to me as well. But what do I know I’m just a noob.
thanks for the answers, do you guys think they will strech a lil.. They are way too bushy...(I know they are more like indica but the info sheet says they could reach 70cm but they are like 15 cm right not) Should i defoliate an auto flower at flowering? what do you guys suggest?

Many thanks

Stretch is long done. And don’t touch shit, you have nothing left to defoliate


Breeders like to lie about their finish times and sizes, stop believing anything they put on the packages of seeds too.

Too late for this grow, but you can extend the branches horizontally beyond the limits of the airpots by placing some shelf brackets on the perimeter and continuing the LST...works well for me...

I've never grown autos and by what I've read on RIU, most new growers have a hard time with them. Regardless, I kind of need to know how @Trillian got their 3% trichs estimate on that plant. Oddly specific.

Continue doing what you’re doing. Don’t touch the leaves unless they are used up by the plant. Wait about a month and you’ll have some good ripe bud

Ur girls look crazy i hope i could reach that point some day
i harvested these Gelato autos about 3 weeks ago and they are curing well. I found you can run a 3/4 in dowel thru the perforations on an airpot to establish a horizontal plane to keep the main stalk bent over which gets ya tons more bud sites exposed to direct light.

I’m doing the same thing now with milk crates, 4 gallon fabric pots and wooden dowels. Lay ‘em down flat...
