New Grower She ready for the chop?

[jayjaymozza]

Hi all, not sure if my auto is ready for the chop yet. Shes 66 days old (9 weeks) and got a load of brown pistils although the new ones that come through are still white. I do not have a microscope to check.

would start the flush now 1-1,5 weeks plain water and then chop chop then she will be fully matured

Her buds are still growing so wait until almost all the pistols are brown before you chop.

Yup what they said.

I wouldnt even flush yet, if shes still throwing out white pistols, shes still growing, let her do her thing. Size can increase a lot, even after you start to see significant numbers of brown hairs. I would wait until she quits making new small white hairs and then flush a week and chop, unless mold or the rest of the plant is showing significant degredation, like going from opaque to brown glands.

I wouldn't harvest yet unless you're looking for a head high. Personally, I would let them go about 2 more weeks to get maximum yield and a more balanced high. More info on when to harvest here: https://www.autoflower.org/f44/when-harvest-autos-your-leaves-will-tell-you-4889.html

Cheers for the info lads, but I harvested the big/more mature buds off her and left and the smallest ones on her.
I ended up with 42g wet bud. Any one have any rough idea on what the dry yield will be?

I've read that, IIRC, you loose around 70% of weight after the dry. Plus that big ass stem is weighing at least a few grams by itself wet. 10-15 grams dry as an estimate I would say.

10-15g lmao what a waste of my time -.-
Lol better luck next time eh
