Mephisto Genetics Experience with Ripley's?

[MattyMatt726]

So this is coming to the end of my first auto grow and i've got 2 Ripley's OG at day 71. They were topped but quite early so not really sure if they slowed down or not. I've heard that sometimes autos don't shiw amber trichs. My question is for those that grew her, did you go by orange pistols and if so about how many days? My buds are pretty thick and the pistols are starting to curl but almost all white from what i can see. Ill het pics up in a bit, just wondering if i should be close or not. Pics with phone is best i could do.

Nice plant . Personally I'd give her another 5 - 10 days. Those pistols still look like they are sticking straight out to me.
Happy gardening

Yeah, i haven't even botherd to look at trichs yet. I figure she might've got slowed when topped since Mephisto lists them as 70 days. I kinda thought she was closer to 80-85.

 

[Sleazyb]

Yeah for sure man. She is an absolute monster.

There are actually 2 in there. The one in front has to be propped up 8-10" to stay level with tops on the big girl. The buds are heavy because some branches even though they were tied are almost breaking off.

It's all a personal preference really. But for most she's too green yet, after you grow enough autos you'll learn that the leaves will tell you when to harvest. I'd guess 10 days

bit more time mate . I agree with -- iampepe -- just hang in there as it will be worth it .

 

[MattyMatt726]

Yeah, i can wait more if they need it. I didn't think they would be done in 70 days.

I agree with all the others... let her go at least 10 days if not two weeks. Not in the harvest window yet, regardless of effect you are looking for. Would be some racy smoke at this point. Your Ripleys is a good looking plant!

When ready i prefer Sativa like personally, but the genetics will provide what they will on their own when she's ready. Appriciate all the replys. I'll keep it updated throughout the next 10 days. Thank you all.
