**Note this is my first ever grow so have mercy on me**

So I have two Northern Lights Auto Flowers that, no joke are at 15 weeks into grow. This was suppose to be a 10 week seed to harvest at most and here I am puzzled as why this is taking so long. Here are some of the details.

The plants have been flushed 3 weeks ago. No Nuts since. Under CFLs. Proper air filtration constant 78 degrees (Went down a little since I switched out the bulbs to lower lumens). I was on a 18 and 6 light cycle until 4 days ago (that is when I switched the bulbs). I waited to change the cycle because I read in multiple places that the autos weren't suppose to be affected by excessive light.

Solid Grow by the way. I would say about 70% of the hairs on the top buds are brown and curling in, but the lower bud is still pretty white when it comes to hairs. And I got a magnifying glass and the tricombs are getting cloudy I believe. I used a 6x magnifying though (Have a 20x on the way). What is throwing me off though is the fact that the lower buds (which I was just going to use for edibles anyways) seem to be very white still.

Side note the bud is getting a very small bit of a mildew like smell to it. Which just started today.

my NL auto took longer then expected. I would let it go another week as personal lux says.
I chopped mine too early, and even though she looked bulk as hell, she turned airy after dry :(

Thank you everyone for the super quick responses and great input. This is such a great helpful community! Yeah I will give it another week or two. Has anyone else played around with autos that took this long? If I go 2 more weeks I am hitting close to 17 weeks on 10 week seeds.

Mine was prob around 11/12 weeks flower, and 4 weeks veg. So about 15/16 weeks total and I still cut her too early. I now go by the trichs going amber instead of the hairs.

Also when it says 10 week seeds, it means 10 week flower, not including the veg I think. I don't go by any of that anymore either.
