Frankly, it probably doesn't matter much but another week if feasible.
Try to figure out what went wrong before starting your next run.

My first indoor grow, many years ago, was an auto and I think I set a record for the longest growing AF…….it just didn’t wanna finish like they’re supposed to. And I didn’t know why.
I ended up letting it go some crazy amount of time…..19-20 weeks and it still had not “finished”. What it had done, however, was grow too long….despite not being finished. And the terp profile was all but gone. Much less sticky and smelly than it was a month before.
I came to learn that healthy plants finish out like they’re “supposed to” and plants that are struggling do not.
It’s really late in the grow to make any meaningful adjustments. I would look at my trichomes with a jewelers loupe and if most are cloudy, I’d harvest.
I can’t say what the main problem is without more details…..
If the buds appear to be progressing….meaning white pistils turning brown and receding back into the calyces, the calyces are swelling etc.
You might consider just giving water and letting her go a bit longer.
I just know the longer it limps along, the more likely it is to dry out and leave u with buds that aren’t as good as you’d have if harvested right now.

I could wait another week, I'm trying to go by trichomes being Amber and the swollen colas, want to pull it in that window when it's at its peak you know, I'm just starting to grow again it's been years so I'm not fully confident. I'm pretty sure it's the soil I used, the compost wasn't fully dried, I did have mushrooms growing during vegetation. I appreciate the reply.

Probably another week will have to cut a small piece of bud and look at trichromes for cloudiness like 80 percent you see.
After looking at the pics again and for a bit longer, there’s no question, I’d harvest. Some of the buds look fairly ripe anyway and she’s just not gonna do much more in the shape she’s in.
My guess is a major potassium issue, caused by either over feeding or the PH being out of whack.
On a positive note, the buds themselves look pretty tasty…..once trimmed up.

I was reading mushrooms in soil is a good thing supposedly soil has good biodiversity in it but yea will burn. Check out budzbudda soil threads on living soil just a few easy things to get Fox farm soil perlite a couple other that's it. Will feed plant everything it needs through our whole grow till finish. Just some liquid seaweed every two weeks no other nutrients needed.
Well the buds are still sticky, still smells really good doesn't appear to be dried out
That's what I think, I attached pictures under a magnifying glass, are you not able to tell about the trichomes from them
Appreciate the reply, this is the other one I have it's just as old do you think I should harvest this one as well?

What about my other one would you harvest ? It's just as old.

Really supposed to cut a small piece and look closer up or zoom in to see actual shape of trichromes head and if cloudy. But that's only one thing to check like calaxes, pistols receding etc. hope helps

Yeah I'd probably chop her down as well. Get everything cleaned up and start anew. I would recommend growing out a photo opposed to an auto. Auto's are good and all, I just find photo's easier to deal with when it comes to new or rusty growers. It should become a little easier with each cycle that you do. Good luck bud.
