Anyone know why my auto flower would be stuck in flower. The girl is 81 days old and been in flower 5 weeks and hasn’t put on any bud weight. It seems to be using the nutes quickly but not showing a growth return.

Most of the buds weight comes in it's last 2 weeks. She should fatten soon.

Thank you for the quick response. I’ve never had an auto pass the 80 day mark. I am worried it won’t produce.

I've gone over 100 on a handful of them.

Do you have any pictures of your previous harvests?

You cut them down with all those white hairs?

I did. It was about 60% cloudy and 40% amber. I was afraid it would degrade.

You really kneecaoped yourself on quality and quantity. Those plants had anywhere from probably 2 week to a month left, maybe more. You have to remember the breeder time lines are estimates and best case scenario for THEIR environment and the plant can't read a calendar.

I was afraid of that. I wanted to go further but was worried about the degradation of the tricomes. I will keep this in mind moving forward. Thank you for your help.

Trichomes are one of the last things to check. Most prefer to look at the total ripeness of the plant/buds. If you are inclined to check them, don't look at the sugar leaves, look on the buds themselves.

9/10 when people see ambers at that stage they are looking at sugar leaves. The calyx trichomes will be less developed at this time but are harto see.
This is a strawberry cough I'm currently growing. It's in week 9 or 10 and the sugar leaves have tons of amber but the main trichs are mostly cloudty with some amber starting.

So what I am gathering, it better to just look at the calyx instead of the plant as a whole to determine when to harvest. Sure wished I had y’all’s help a long time ago. Lol. Never the less I’m stoked to have your inputs now. Thank you so much.
