New Grower Critical Jack Auto - Ready to harvest? Trich pics included.

[teaz]

I want to get this one mostly cloudy with a tinge of amber. It's been 13 weeks from seed, but spend 60 days under 12/12 because she's in a with a photo plant. That might have slowed the grow. Bud pic was from about a week ago, but trichs are from today.

Would you cut this one?

Trichs look good from the pictures!! Have any of the leaves started to yellow??


Also, did you by chance have a grow journal for this one?? I have a Dinafem Critical Jack on it's 2nd week, and I was wondering what kind of EC you ran, and maybe a little more about your grow, if that's cool??

Thanks! Just my second grow, so I'm still a little "green"

I do have a journal that I've been keeping. Once it's done, I'll post the complete end-to-end.

Basic setup was OF soil with added perlite, California Lightworks 200w LED, and General Hydro Flora series nutes. Should have mentioned this is also the Dinafem Critical Jack Auto. No real issues with the grow other than time, but I expected it would be slower because of the 12/12 lighting.

I gotcha!! I grow in rockwool and use a recirculating top-feed system, but the information should be good to have!!!! What kinds of ppms did you run for the most part?? I use the GH Flora series and some other goodies, so your numbers should still be good for me!!


I'm excited to see these other pictures!!!

I never tracked PPM, just used RO water for the entire grow. Added in CALiMAGic supplement (extra important with LEDs) and followed the feed schedule (Drain to Waste) on the General Hydro website. I have week by week pics that I can upload. Hopefully this weekend.

Helllll yeah!! That would be awesome!! About how tall did she get??

Hey!
kind of hard to see from the pictures. I don't see too many cloudy and no ambers. Could you post a pic of the whole plant? Did you flush yet? She is close though!

Cloudy vs Clear

Hey!

Agree. Let me see if I can get them to show full size here. Maybe the thumbnails will open larger?

I did flush two weeks ago with FloraKleen and followed up with just straight RO water. I've been watching daily. I did see some change with more showing cloudy and today a few more amber looking heads, but I'm new at this. Should I see more?

I'll try to get some more plants pics later today.

They look good and darn close if not there yet. Have a look at Muddy's excellent guide to when an auto is ready to harvest https://www.autoflower.org/f44/when-harvest-autos-your-leaves-will-tell-you-4889.html
Hopefully between the trichome cloudy/clear ratio and the guide you will know if they are ready.

1st chop -- Critical Jack Auto

I was planning to take the entire plant down today, but after cutting off the top most flowers, I think the lower ones might need some maturing (still light green and loose). Have to say the smell is great. So strong it made my eyes water just cutting it.

Also, I noticed the trichs I've been watching on the sugar leaves are more mature than the ones on the buds. The leaves are mostly cloudy/slightly amber, but the buds are still showing more clear and no amber. I'm going to give the rest of them at least another week.

Here are some pics of the trichs, main cola, and the plant itself without the cola (after I cut it down).
