Yo, its my 1st grow and i posted this in other section but nobody answered so i was hoping i can get a nice, straight answer here in the newbie section. Anyway my auto plant is now around 5 weeks into flower, its very small micro grow, plants height is around 7-8" (with lst) and my question is simple...approximately how long untill harvest? As you can see in the pics my main cola is a bit thicker than the rest so i was thinking about cutting it first and thus leaving the rest to grow a bit longer.

Looking good I'm on my first grow into my first week of flower, you should post better pics of the actual buds and invest to a 80x-100x microscope if you wanna know how long you really got left.

Do you own a magnifying loupe to check out the trichomes on the buds? That is the best way to determine when to harvest. Make sure you are looking at the buds and not the sugar leaves...those tend to turn cloudy and amber faster than the buds.

But you can still see buds and pistils, i was just hoping for a rough answer just so i can know when to start geminating my next batch. Unfortunately i dont have it and i think its not really neccessary, you can see by the looks of it when they are done i just wanna roughly know when that is...4-5 days or a few weeks?

Sigh.

They take as long as they take.....it's hard to tell so far out...

Maybe 3 weeks.....Not even bulking yet - that's the last 2 weeks!
Wow 3 weeks? Thats alot considering its a short autoflowering strain already in 5th week of flower. Thanks anyway.

It looks almost a month away it's just starting. Everything will start to get full and all the hairs will turn mostly red. The green color of the leaves will fade. You have a long way to go.

Really, that long? Wow, im impressed with how unpredictable these plants can be. At first i thought she'd be done like a week ago but the final part of bud bulking has prolonged more than i expected

What strain is your plants? Most of the autos I've grown have taken between 75-90 days from seed depending on how you like your trichs.

The real question is what light are you running.
If thats a CFL then yeah about a 2-3 weeks and dont expect too much bulking up.

When you start from seed its always going to be unpredictable. You can go off what the breeder says but iv found its always been 1-2 weeks longer then they say. Once you get photo types and run clones of the same plant then you can figure out exactly the time table.

Its RQS easy bud auto. it says they are supposed to go from seed to harvest in 8 weeks but its obviously not quite true

Im running a mix of cfl and led lights in a micro grow. It's something i started improvising with so i'm yet see how that goes. I have 1x24w (1520 lumens) cfl 6400K, 1x30w (1912l) cfl 2700K and 1x13w (1520l) LED 2700K.

I'm still having doubts about my feeding schedule, do i keep it up and when is the right time to start giving her plain water?

Hi there, it's me again. Can anyone tell me is it normal that a fresh bud looks like this? It went a bit reddish brown in color for some strange reason. It only happened on 2 colas though.DSC_0329.JPG DSC_0326.JPG

A little nute burn. I wouldn't cut anything off let her go unimpeded. People say auto's lack potency IDK for sure coz i have never grown any.. but you can achieve the same thing with feminized seed of guaranteed potency by starting the 12/12 cycle 3 days after germination.

You have a bit left maybe in three weeks you can consider chopping. Even without a loop the pistils are still mostly white and the mains are pretty small.

What's the humidity where you grow that looks more like rot rather than nute burn due to the surrounding leaves don't really show nute burn.
