All the information you need is there. Study time. You need more light. how many watts do you have? I don't grow in soil so I will leave that to others to comment on. Continue the grow to the end. Nothing beats the experience of a grow.

If your seeds really are autos (sometimes there are mix ups) and they started May 28 they are probably at the end of their grow cycle. I'd finish it out, harvest, dry and cure it. Go through the process as @Ckbrew suggests.

Thank you, I did read and study the Groweasy beginners guide 1st, The light watts is I think is a full spectrum 100w-645W I had it dimmed to 75% should I put it on 100%

How much longer do you think I should wait to harvest or should I harvest ASAP so they can start drying?

Do you have a jewelers loupe? Take a look at the trichomes. They will tell you when it's time to harvest. There are several articles and tutorials on the GWE web site about when to harvest.

Here's one:

When is the Best Time to Harvest Marijuana Buds? | Grow Weed Easy

Harvesting cannabis at the right time is just as important as how you grow the plant. Harvest marijuana buds too soon and you lose potency and yields; too late and you can end up making a batch of sleep medicine. Learn how to harvest at the perfect time, every time! Here's what you need...

They are not ready for harvest. Finish the grow to completion, that is how you learn. The answers you seek can be found in the "Start here:" world. You can find it directly at the bottom of the site page on the right. Under quick links click on growing basics and the others.

Hello Jolene. In my opinion auto flowers are a bigger challenge than photo period plants for a new grower. Good luck

Hi, Jolene.
Welcome to the forum and congrats on your first grow.
The answers you seek are really on the GWE website. Please check it out.
That said. I grow XL autos exclusively in my polytunnel greenhouse with great results. I see no problem with autos.
Other important things:
- jewelers loupe or plug in phone microscopy to judge trichome maturity - necessary.
- pH pen to get nutrient water pH in proper range, ~6.5 -7.0 for soil - necessary.
- use 1/2 of bottle recommended nutrient mixing strength.
- from your pic. Try low stress training or topping next grow to increase bud sites and yield.

Good pot comes from good planning.
Have you identified your drying area?
Bought trim scissors? Glass storage jars and Boveda paks? Your grow is not finished until the buds are dried, trimmed, cured and stored.

All this just takes practice. You'll do just fine. To encourage you, here are pics of 32 oz from one outdoor plant and an AF bud shot.
