Auto flowering plants

Hi, I'm wondering if someone can give me some advice on autos, I'm growing automax seeds 5, I've got a indoor tent, with 2 plants in it, everything went well through the early stages, and into flowering, I've been on flowering for 7 weeks, 12 weeks in total.
My plants has lost a bit of there smell, but the main centre kolons are not smelly, or sticky, but the rest of the plant is, is this correct, and does anyone know a timescale on these plants, any help is appreciated
Cheers

gonna need pics and more info before anyone can give you much help brosequis. info like,
lighting, medium, nutrients, environment.
as it is your asking us to imagine a plant in our heads and diagnose it.
good luck, hope you get the help you need

more info needed

I'm using a 600w dual spectrum bulb, and coco. I've been using hornet a and b food, as it's designed for coco, and you don't need to change when it's flowering. I've been using pk buddha from 3rd week of flowering, and i used big bud as a boost, for 2 weeks,

picture?

My light is on 18/6 as well, i have 1 light in my tent, which is 1mx1mx1.8m

I'm at work at the moment, si i can post a picture tomorrow,

Would you need close up pictures?
Cheers

I will post some picture's tomorrow, any help will be greatly appreciated, I'm not sure if I've left them too long, or this is normal. They say they flower in 8-10 werks, but does this include the growing stage?
Does anyone know
Cheers

Thanks

One of the pictures wasn't very good, so i took another one

i dont see whats wrong

Do they look ok to you?
I got a bit concerned with them not smelling as much, and the centre kolons look a bit dry, they we're really sticky to start with, but not as much now.
Also with autoflowering seeds, some say the 8-10 week's includes the veg stage, and some say the 8-10 week's starts when they start flowering. I'm currently on week 7 from the start of flowering. I was going to start flushing soon.
Thank's for your earlier reply.

First of all, Flushing is not really necessary. Second of all, yes they look good to me, I don't think they are ready yet but it's your call. Its hard to say how long until harvest, i go with my gut feeling and look at the plant overall. I never grown autos though and it might be different

To help ‘ease’ your mind I had the same thing happen. Loss of smell as I left them mature a bit long.

Still tasted nice and after a good dry and 2 week cure they were tasting like they smelled before.

There is an optimum window to harvest of any plant and it can be missed - I did and I think you may have too...

Growing is always about learning from your mistakes.

Thank's a lot for your help everyone, but as you can see one person says they might not be ready, and someone else says I might have waited a bit long to harvest, i realise it's all about opinions, and experience. I don't understand why you don't have to flush, i thought that got rid of the taste of the chemicals, does anyone think i should flush now?
Also it's good to know that even if i have waited a bit too long, it still should be ok.
Thank's everyone

Check the trichomes with a 30x microscope... only way to tell if it’s ready

I've used one of them, and i can't see any on the main kolon at the back, I'm not sure why, the rest don't look bad, do you think i should wait a bit longer?
Or is it because I've waited a bit too pong, that the back kolon, hasn't got any.
If you wait too long, do the trichomes disappear?
Cheers
