It's happening again

This happened to me a couple years ago. And it's maddening.

I've got my last 2 autos that should be well ready to harvest. Gorilla Cookie and Ztrawberriz. The problem is, I'm into day 107.
I closely examine the trichomes every other day under my microscope. They're a 50/50 mix of clear/cloudy, with only a smattering of amber.
They stink like hell. My tent is vented out a window and I can smell these babies in the street!

My wife says CUT THEM.

thoughts?

New wife :lol:
Jokes aside like Budman said pics would be good
 
They finnish when THEY are ready. I have chopped before at 70 days. I have also chopped at day 126. Remember the breeders estimate is just that, an estimate. Also they (breeders) are breeding under extream optimum conditions. Not trying to steer you in the wrong direction, but with autos, if at anytime you stunted or slowed grow by taking leaves, over or under watered/feed, any kind of lst training. That can show up in the flower stage, which can delay harvest.
As stated before, a whole picture of the plant and a picture or two of closeups of buds will make it easier to help.
It sounds like you have worked pretty hard to get to this point with your grow. Don't short yourself at this point. GL!
 
Some autos never amber, so beware. Also what type of LED have you been using as well as intensity and hours of run.

IMHO if these were supposed to be done in 65 to 75 days, they usually run about 10 to 20 days over, but not that much further beyond. My last grow stated 75 days and was spot on, but prior to that my 75 day grow turned into 98 days, and I took her down as her pistols were browning, curling inward and all tricomes were clouded and had been for 2 weeks. If you let them go too long it just turns into a couch lock buzz as well.
