[MattyMatt726]

Im starting to have multiple branches leaning over and breaking almost completley off -_- will they be fine for another week or so if partly connected or should i just take them off?

Yeah, i didn't really prepare myself for it. I read that the Ripley's can be so dense they beed to be protected from falling over, but late flowering it was really only 2. Now a bunch of branches are falling and about to snap. I tied some string to the top of the tent on the biggest bud, but don't have enough shit here to get them all.

nice plant, might wanna tie up a few branches. You could harvest any time but it will definitely put on some weight if you let her go for a few more weeks. If you like the up high might wanna harvest sooner than later tho. I had to pull a photo plant earlier than scheduled a while ago and it didnt have any brown pistils and was a wild ride. Wouldnt have been good for someone with paranoia for sure!

Down by the floor they’ll stay the way they r prop or tie them up and they will fatten up

The idea that autos don't produce amber trichomes is a myth. I always wait for 50% amber, and I feel my weed suffers in quality if I do not. My Ripley's went 14 weeks.

Its that time again so its another week down from first inquires. They are day 78 now. Phone is the only source of pictures so try to bear with me. I can go another week if needed but i think 85 is the most i can. My landlord is redoing so things up here on the 1st or not to far after. Id have to take my 4x4 down and get some spray going on while they hide and dry. I know he wouldn't kick me out but i don't want to be told i shouldn't be doing it either. Let me know what you guys/gals think. Thanks again.

Looking great! I would hold out as long as possible... Just looking at the pics, I would say you have at least 10 days. A cheap scope will tell you maturity of the trichs, a better indicator.

Ive got a scope. I just was waiting to see a good amout of orange before i thought it was worth checking them. There are orange hairs but most still white. And being new auto grower ive heard that trichs wont always even change to amber so figured pistils were the way to go. I can go another week if i really need but damn are they teasing me.

Autos amber IME, trichs get a dull luster as they get cloudy, She will start to smell different too. All signs to look for but best is still a scope. BTW, you can always “test” a bud. It may be green,uncured,but it will give you an idea of how close.
