COCO COIR Looking for guidance

[HighEnergyVampire]

Hello,

I am looking for some guidance. She is one of three plants that I started on 9/1, that I assumed were all autos. Two of them have been grown, chopped, cured and now smoking. This one would not flower until I switched the lights to 12/12. Unfortunately due to the other two, I needed to wait to give this a try. She is in full bloom now and I am currently about seven weeks in since she finally started to flower. I am not sure if she is just a weirdo auto or if I was mistakenly given photo seeds instead ( I triple checked the packaging and my order slip, both say auto).

She looks close to ready, I am guessing maybe two more weeks, the trichomes look clear to me. I am looking to confirm if others agree based on the pictures provided.

Details:
Strain - Rainbow BeltS, Fox Farm, North Atlantic seed co, coco.

Thank you!

Keep doing what you're doing. That is a fine looking plant. The trichomes are the true tell. Keep watching them and harvest when you see them in the condition that appeals to you. Look for changes on the buds themselves. The sugar leaves will most likely turn amber first. I like to see the trichomes showing just a touch of amber. But when to harvest is pharmers choice.

Thanks, same here, I like to wait for about 20-30% amber. Appreciate the response, this plant has been an experiment that’s for sure. 😀

They look good, probably need more time. How do the trichs look? Has the water intake slowed? Are the white pistils a recent development or are they the original batch that has not turned red? When in doubt, ride it out. A week at least, maybe 2-3. Keep the humidity low and be vigilant for mold or rot. If you took it now you wouldn't be disappointed but there is always the desire for a more finished result.

I checked this morning and the trichomes still look clear. The watering hasn’t slowed yet. The white pistils are a little all over the place. Most are original, just not orange yet and there are a few that popped out recently on the top, I think I had the light to close. I am keeping the humidity under 50 and have the fans set to 30%. Thank you, I was thinking I was still at least two weeks out, this helps.

Beautiful! Nice work! Yeah, My last photo grow went for 101 days in flower and produced 6 ounces. It's hard to just sit and watch when they are soooo close, but the plant will tell you when she is done. We need to ask General Hydroponics if they can make a product called "Patience in a bottle." Apply during the last 4 weeks of ripening.
Keep on rockin!

LOL they absolutely should 😂. Thank you! I am so anxious to smoke her. Fingers crossed I will get six oz also.
