64 days from sprout today:
So the fade to the end is in full swing now. Green and vibrant until 3 days ago when I noticed 1 yellow leaf then next day 2 or 3 on each plant and today there are several so it's on! I'm still amazed how quickly these mature. I'm still pretty sure they are both Maui auto even tho very diff in structure and color. Short, fat and healthy green vs taller, lankier and dark green. Still have used no chemical nutes nor pHed the water or nutes input. The soil with microbes are regulating the pH with no issues ever this grow. I gave them their last supper today with cast tea, salmon emulsion, recharge mychorissae (sp) with molasses to feed them.

Putain !! They are just gorgeous and fat as a pineapple sir !! Aren't autos fun to grow hey ?
Oh one more thing. sir ! How's the amber on your girls ? Over 30% ? (This is my preference, your's might be different)
I see at least a few more weeks. Well I might be wrong since I'm new to autos also.

Thanks Farmbuck and SoOrbudgal, High compliments from 2 very experienced growers who have earned my respect! yes Budgal, you will have to do that for me as I said before I have no sense of smell. None, zip, nada...drives me nuts! My good friend BU2B visited the other day and said they smelled great but not really discernible from several feet away from the cabinet which is out on the back screen porch. Sorta did some name dropping there but just so you know I have connections with the royalty here, lol!

I'm cheating a bit to get the RH up in my grow room by setting out pots of flushed coco for reuse to dry out there before going into their bins to wait for the next batch of transplants. It also keeps them where my cats can't pee in them while they air out.

The first couple shots are from yesterday and today just to show how quickly the color can change. Then a few tric shots which show a lot of cloudy, some clear yet and less than 1% amber. They look very much on track for my liking which is all cloudy with little amber. 2 or 3 more weeks maybe?
​​​​​​Next day: I cut a small nugget so I could get a more stable shot of trics. Much better IMO.

Farmbuck I was hoping you might notice that as I remember you being so surprised when you saw cloudy so quickly but amber took awhile. It seems autos are so quick about everything except amber. Maybe this is an auto thing? We don't know, were newbs! I on the other hand
don't want much amber, but for sure all cloudy. That is the rub I think. Without a really clear shot in good focus it can be difficult to determine clear from cloudy. They are actually much more clear on my 4 year old Android than my 5 YO Windows 7 laptop but still you must look carefully everywhere. My scope is bluetooth connected to the phone then downloaded through email to my laptop..
They are both auto Maui but obviously very diff phenos, same age but one is being quicker than the other. Right now I'm guessing 2-3 more weeks on quicker one and 3-4 on the other. The tric shots are from the faster one.

Not a lot of frosty but they are sticky and firm! I cut a small sample bud from the bottom side of the main cola and crossed the tipping point. It flopped over from weight. I guess that's good and bad! Good cuz it's very heavy and bad cuz it can't support itself anymore. I can tell by lifting it that it's heavy!

Week 10 plus 5 days update:
Checked on the ladies and took a few more tric shots. my guess 85% cloudy, 10%still clear, 5% amber so they're coming along slowly it seems to me. Autos are fast to this point and then seem to take awhile to finish, right Farmbuck? At 90 % cloudy, they're coming down. There are several small cola budlets lower down so I will take the tops and let the lowers go a little longer. Gotta remember to date them while drying and jarring to keep them separate.
I found my tric scope and with it a pair of snippers from last harvest with a lot of dried scissor hash so I just fired it up. If I don't finish this post for awhile you know why!
A little later.....
Measuring tape sez tallest top is 17 inches from dirt or 7 in from top to clear stem where I will make first cut with buds on that stem still growing below. I have 7 on left lady that size 1 1/2 to 2 in diameter and twice that in smaller which will go on as long as possible. Right lady is squatter with eight 4 to 6" in colas, 2 to 3" in dia. and a whole litter of pups! If I get 3 oz each I will make it to next harvest (photo). I'm hoping to surprise myself of course with 4 each but we always take what we get and it's all good!
