Hey everyone
This is one of my first grow and i could really use your help. i dont know how long my plants have left or if its in good condition.
they have been growing outside for 9 weeks. the strain is G13 automatic from CPH Seeds. the buds are still small but there are alot of them. i have let the plant grow on its own, so its uncut. the only additive/fertilizer i have used is easy boost pellets from royal queen seeds.

they've been growing in total 9 weeks? Do you know the approximate flowering time for that strain? Could be anywhere from 8-13 weeks of just flower... not including veg time

only that it says from seed to harvest 70 days

Man I'm dumb haha I totally skipped the part in your post where it said it was an automatic... usually the time given is only approximate... do you have the ability to check the trichomes on it? Like a 100x magnifier?

You still have 7 more days before the approximate time given by the breeder... so I'd say at least another week... maybe 2

Stuff looks pretty so far! I'd rather worry about when to harvest than worry about dying plants like most before they even get flowers! So you're killing it so far! For your next plant I would suggest looking into LST if you continue growing autos... low stress training will maximize your yields because it evens the canopy, allowing light penetration to the entire plant instead of just the main stem turning the other branches into colas... it also helps to maximize air flow between lower parts of the plant to prevent mold and mildew/bud rot. Its a very simple and effective method of training used for autoflowering genetics

Once all the pistils (white hair-like things sticking out of buds) go brown then check the trichomes for ripeness. You have at least a week after all the pistils brown so no rush. I would guess you have another 2-3 weeks :)
The estimate time from breeders is typically short. I'm growing an auto now that said 65-73 days. I'm on day 89 now and I plan to cut her down at 95.
