Hey steelydan. I would check the trichs and go by that

Nice looking plant too! congrats man!

 

[steelydan]

I think the trichs are still clear, but i am worried about leaving it due to the top leaves becoming dry & brittle?
Not sure what to do?
cheers

Don't worry about the leaves at this point because they turn color.This is normal.Go by your trychomes.

What kind of light are you using and how close is that plant to the light? Not all autos show amber trics, so it's not the most reliable method to determine when to harvest an auto. If you haven't already, take a look at this thread: https://www.autoflower.org/f44/when-harvest-autos-your-leaves-will-tell-you-4889.html

I am using a 600 watt hps, the other 5 plants are fine at around 9 inches from the light, this one has been at 18 inches for a few days so its not heat stress. The leaves at the top are going dry and crispy and purple and the buds are looking a little purple, so i decided today, at 69 days i am going to harvest. I have flushed it today and will pull it up tomorrow.
I have 5 more Afghan Kush that look lovely, they were germed over a period of 7 days so will finish at different times i will post pics to get advice.
thank you all

ps this one is a sensi seed auto superskunk BUT out of 7 seeds 2 were male and 4 didn't germinate! so it could be a rogue batch of seeds and i will never know what this is?

Nine inches is way too close for a 600 watt hps and likely what caused the upper leaves and bud to dry out so quickly. Check your temperature at the canopy top. I'm betting at that height the temperature was well above the recommended 78 - 82 degree range.

Sorry, I accidentally hit edit instead of post reply and erased your question. You asked if 18" was good.

That's a good starting point. Raise it and check the temp at the top of the plants, then raise or lower accordingly until you reach that desired range.

cheers, will do that
