Hi everyone,
My main question is how much time left for harvest, but please read my post first if you can. You can skip TL;DR if you don't want to read. Main post contains some of my journey.
So here is a little bit of background:
I had four of these sisters. There of them were photoperiods, and one is autoflowering. They were only one week or so and we had the news of going for another lock down for several weeks.
My plan was to guerilla grow these in forest. But I hadn't thought to plant them that soon. So I've changed my plan to plant two of the more developed ones in forest area and keep other two at home (taking a huge risk) and plant them after the lockdown. And I've proceeded with that plan.
So after the lock down I went to planting site and left this autoflower and photoperiod still with their original pots, with the idea of coming back a week later and transferring them to a bigger pot or directly to the ground. I checked the other two that were planted before the lockdown. One was dead, and the other one was soon to be dead. I suspect moles or birds. They were both dislocated. One was dried because of that and the other one was surprisingly alive but in a very fragile state. I planted that one near a creek but I think it died soon too.
One week later, I came back. With a much bigger pot, coco peat, planting soil and some liquid fertiliser. I've planted the photoperiod to the ground (thinking that it might go bigger and it might help with water retention in my mediterranean climate) and I was about to transfer the autoflower to the bigger pot but I had a phone call and had to leave quick due to some emergency and left it like that.
That was exactly 4 weeks ago. Sadly I had to be around my home and couldn't leave for much during that period. I had clue about their situation. Until yesterday.
I happened to be in the woods with some friends and family. I wanted to check my beauties, but couldn't stay away for long because that would be very suspicious. So I left with the excuse of peeing, run as fast as I could, jumped over thorny vines, ducked under branches, passed through spider webs (ugh) but finally I was there. To my surprise they were both alive. I didn't have my hopes high since the previous two died, and this was a long period with some problems (mainly water and nutrients). Thankfully it was raining at least a few days every week -until last week- so they managed to stay alive.
I've tried taking some photos, with adrenaline rushing through my veins and having maybe only a minute or two. Because of that most the pictures are subpar or outright shit. I'll be uploading all them nonetheless. My plan was to come with a usb microscope or at least some thing with magnifying effect but I only had my phone with me. I'll be coming here tomorrow too, to inspect them further and water them. But I'll have to leave the city for a week tomorrow evening.
I'll try to take and upload better photos tomorrow but since I'll be leaving for few days I wanted to know if I should cut them tomorrow or their time has not come yet. (I say they but I mean the autoflower, the one in the pot. Ofc the other one still has some months) I've read that when trichomes turn about 20% amber, it's a good time to cut them. I can't really say what state they are in (due to not having magnification and trying to be fast) or how they will be like when I return a week later (I don't want them to turn fully amber. Though I'm not sure if thats even possible in a week) If I have to take a guess with my limited knowledge and experience, I think they still have one or two weeks.
TL;DR
I've planted guerillas, couldn't attend them because of circumstances, came back to these yesterday, I took some shitty photos. I'll go there tomorrow again but have to leave for a week. I will try to upload better ones tomorrow.
The one in the pot is the autoflower, you can see the big pot that I intended to transfer weeks ago. I feared that it would fall on top of the plant since we had a stormy week and plant site is on a slope that I've leveled a small part of it. Also that other fella next to it was not around a month ago. I plan to trim it, but not completely destroy. It might help with structural support and lessen water evaporation.
Photoflower is much more brighter in color and a bit shorter, I think it's because there are far less nutrients in that spot and less water retention. I hope to water it very well with proper nutrients in upcoming weeks. Although it can't be the beast that I was expecting it to be, I think it can recover to some degree and still give some great results.
Autoflower is OG Kush Auto, it was a freebie with my order and the other one is BCN Critical XXL. Both are nine weeks since sprouting, give or take few days. If autoflower has still few weeks to go, should I give Phosphorus and Potassium rich fertilisers (or some that you recommend).
