New guy. First attempt at auto’s

[carpenter21]

Soil is still around 6.2 this morning and it seems to have handled the flush well. I tried to open it up with wiring to get more light penetration. Pictures aren’t great with the Amare on. I’ll get some better ones in couple days. Just wanted to post some for reference.

I started plucking the really dead ones off but Waira mentioned that I should leave the leaves alone for now. Trust me I’d like to pull a bunch off. Buds are looking good but the rest of it is a bit sad lookin.

I couldn’t resist, I ended up cutting a bunch of dying leaves off. Looks better but I’ll see tomorrow how it responds. Between that, the flush and some minor LST it’s had a tough week. I don’t think I’ll get a huge yield but the learning experience will be worth it. I checked the trichomes on the main today it’s a full assortment of clear, cloudy and amber

...ones that are really toast are fine to remove,.. some will drop off with little effort! I was referring to other leaves still in half decent shape....

It’s looking ok this morning. Slow and steady I guess. Do you think I can remove more leaves?

I leave them unless they are blocking a bud site. You don't want to remove too many imo

I have just finished a Black Gold Auto I had to put it on a 12,12 in the end but with a bit of patience she came good . All the best with the rest of your grow.

I gave it another feeding on Sunday with normal nutes ph’d to 6.8. Seems to have responded pretty well from the flush. Soil PH is now reading 6.4.
I’m thinking it’s pretty close to done. It’s 65 days old today, suppose to be a 65-75 day plant according to the breeder.
Still a bunch or white hairs, but a bunch of brown and orange as well. Trichs are mostly cloudy now with some amber sprinkled in there.
It’s been an ugly grow but all things considered I’ll get a decent yield I guess.
Any advice on how to proceed? I’m thinking I’ll harvest it in 2 stages but willing to take suggestions. Thanks

Not sure how you guys take trichome pics here is the best I could do
