Indoor Trichomes aren't turning amber, 84 days in

[PDTheGreat]

I'm growing Dinafem Cheese Auto. 5 of them. They were germinated on 4/20, sprouted 4/23. They are growing in soil (HappyFrog) I gave them Cyco nutrients kit, and stopped feeding them about 2 weeks ago. Under a 400w HPS.

Dinafem says on their website that they finish in 70 days. I assumed not to believe that great of results, but I'm now at day 84. Is that abnormally long for an auto?

My trichomes have been clear / milky for the past 6-7 days, and maybe 5% amber as far as I can tell. About half of my pistils are red and the other half are white still. There are also quite a few leaves that are yellow and dying off.

Here are a few shots of the plants:

hi there PDTheGreat :tiphat:

you have nothing to worrie about. my sweet tooth, barneys farm told me would be finished in 60 days. i am now on day 95 and still got about 10 days on one of them. the only way to tell is by listening to your plant bud :thumbs:

keep in mind also that alot of autos dont turn amber. if its still alot of clear let them go for some more days. hope this helps :smokebuds:

So my plant may not even turn amber at all? How will I know when it is finished then?
At 95 days, it's almost more worth it to stick it out for 20 more days for a normal photoperiod
