Should I harvest?

Growing in a roots organic 707/ coco mix. I honestly been so busy I haven’t been counting my days of growing but I think I’m already pst what these auto flowers are supposed to be flowering for. The trichs are mainly milky. Maybe 15% amber if that. Should I harvest? These are going too long and taking up space preventing me from starting something new. The strain is Sherbinski Larry OG. I have about 8 plants to harvest in different stages. But the ones I want to pull have fat calyxes and mostly all the hairs are red. It seems like some trichs might be going back clear which is weird but I’m probably imagining it or seeing incorrectly. Check the pics and let me know. Also I last amended 4/16 so they’re still feeding off that which is why they haven’t flushed from the looks of it because I’ve been giving only water since after that. So should I just let them run out of bytes and flush first. But I don’t wanna overgrow into THC degradation

I say chop!

From the look of the first picture and your trichome description the plant looks to be in the optimal range for harvest.

Looks great, enjoy!

several look like they've got some nute burn up into the main colas, but they might still swell a bit--chop the first six in the next week or so and let the last two ride for two weeks. That's what I think I'd do here.

what was in that amendment on 4/16? give a rundown of the grow so far and let us know what's happened, it might help make the decision easier.

:peace:

the last amendment I did was simple, just some down to earth amendment at 4-4-4 and some seabird guano at 0-11-0. That was all. About 1tbps each per gal.

that burn had been Progressing over weeks and weeks of me giving it plain water since right before amending so at first i was thinking it was a P def. but now I think it may have been PH issues as well.

I use mainly plain tap water phed from 5.8-6.3. I incorporated molasses once and it caused a bunch of issues after one feeding of it so I never used it again. That’s when they started to show signs of problems and the molasses also gave me gnats which I took care of with mosquito bits.

pH seems possible here; if you've been giving guano there shouldn't be a P deficiency issue, but there definitely could be some imbalances. Too late now, but you could always try a simple EWC + Kelp+ Fish hydrolysate AACT at the first sign of burn followed by plain H2O, but that's no help now.

no big deal either, they buds look tasty! Just was curious. chop the first six soon and the last two a little later is what I'll stick to here!

be easy,

:peace:

Yeah the P def was because I didn’t have any P at first. At first all I had was 4-4-4 until I finally got my seabird Guano on 4/16 due to covid . So covid screwed me with that. I do need to get some kelp though. I’ve been meaning to

I've moved entirely to kelp and fish hydrolysate, no need for the seabird guano--that shit is hott!!

but your 4-4-4 had some P, just maybe not as much as your girls wanted; check the hydrolysate, its a bit lighter than the guano and you can give it every other watering. I haven't had any problems since the switch!
