hello my friends, so my Gelat OG auto is 70 days old. seedman says 80 days from start to finish, so i'm so close, but sill no amber tricomes. by all the fan leaves are turning yellow. the buds are rock hard, so i thing the yellowing is natural, so am going to ait another week. hat do you guys think?

looking close. Can't tell the amber from the pics but the buds look pretty good with the plant in later stage for sure.

update, 73 days, still no amber tricomes? almost all leaves are yellow. is this normal?

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Yes it's normal johnb1963 don't panic it's a natural occurrence. Plant is using all it's resources I would not give any form of food at all if she were mine i'd water allow to dry and chop. She's in the window of harvest cloudy/milky right?? If you don't want zzzzzzzzzzzzz sleepy.

Seeing where I just started my 2nd auto grow I have very limited experience with these little things but in my first grow I never had one plant’s trichomes turn amber. After all of them had completely milky trichomes for 2wks and all the leaves turned yellow I cut them down. Maybe autos don’t get many amber trichomes 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well bboyfromwayback, In my limited experience not all plants will show amber to the same degree so cloudy with fall colors was my guide and it worked out well.
