Those looks like they will be some really fat fat buds. Eyes on this thread as i wanna see how your lst progression is going on. Do you still pull them down and do you do it in a spiral ?
Day 44 pics update, buds starting to put weight on now
Morning AFN'ers,
Just a quick update of my chiesel grow and my first LST attempt...
Temp 75-76.8 F.
RH 44-49%
Run off PH 6.3
250 HPS (getting the GN MS004 in Dec :gthumb
Ok so I think the yellowing of the leaves was due to changing to flower nutes as was advised to me... She has stopped yellowing now and is progressing nicely...
I have stopped giving any gro nutes now and upped the Cal Mag to 1.5ml/litre, think she loves me for the Cal Mag increase (really have learnt CalMag is a MUST with autos)
Height wise she is 1ft tall with a 1.2 ft width, buds are growing nicely and starting to put on some weight, have 4 main colas with 7-8 colas in orbit...
@killernecrox yes I still am LST coming to an end now, I feel I have worked the plant as much as I can and will allow her to grow upwards now as every budsite on her is receiving great light... I didnt spiral tho, mine I waitied until second node appeared folded (horseshoe shape) over, and continued to do this as she grew up (the stems are like a motorway interchange)
Updates will come guys, any advice or questions welcomed

Very curious about the yield now too that is looking nice for a one gallon plant. Also, the GN MS004 compared to your current 250 watt will be something I watch out for too! I've been eyeing them too I just don't think I have the vertical space. I had a bad experience with LED once 
I am also curious about yield, Will keep updating thread as need be, thanks for dropping by :smokebuds:
Back Online, Day 57 Big Buddha Chiesel, pics update
Ok so I have been offline for a while but back up and running so wanted to share some progress...
Now on day 57
Temp 69-73 F.
RH 37-45%
Run off PH 6.7
Lights 20/4
Ok so a week or so ago I went away and gave her what I thought was enough water before going,but upon return found her severly wilting and alot of fan leaves yellowing and curling "Grrr"
I fed her with GH bloom, GH micro, CalMag and rhizotonics and she perked up within the hour, those fan leaves have since gone on to die and a few left show the scars...
My problem is that I havent done that many autos and use the leaves as a guide to tell me when to start final flush and predict harvest time, currently 95% of the trichs are a milky colour and none with an amber colour, how long would you guys say she has left, I am thinking of starting final flush in a week??
Pics below any input is appreciated greatly, :smokebuds:

When to harvest?? opinions please
Morning fellow AFN'ers,
So today is day 63 and could use some advice, this is my second auto and am wondering when is best to harvest her, I am after the stone dead high which with photos I harvest when 85-90% of the trichs have changed to amber, and with my last auto I harvested following Muddys guide (fan leaves dead and bud leaves starting to yellow die off)....
Current status is
Temp 75 F.
RH 44%
Started final flush 3 days ago
Not one single amber trich I can find
Most fan leaves yellowing off and curling up now
My question really is should I go for harvest on the 70th day which is what I think I should, or will she be better left an extra few days or maybe even more??
Thanks for stopping by :smokebuds:

Fantastic grow! Great job man! If you have the patients to let a photo to 80% amber than you'd be doing your self a disservice taking her down at day 70. Have you scope her trichs yet? Also find with most autos their cbd is higher than a photo which provides more of that relaxed body feeling....I'm really loving autos for meds!
:five: looking good brother! I vote to let her go a few more weeks!

Yes I have scoped the trichs and they are 80-85% milky colour, tbh I would love to leave it as long as possible I want the very most from her.. I will issue her another feed of bloom nutes today then and reconsider in another 10 days or so... Thanks for your advice and rep Yoda very much appreciated :smokebuds:
