What do i do?

My auto green gelato are 5 weeks!! Yes 5 weeks overdue harvest but still havent got 1 amber trich.. im growing outdoor in a crap climate in a greenhouse. My leaves are all dying. And i got a tiny bit of bud rot on one plant which i pruned off... but now they have become infested with both green and white flys!! Ahhh.. i plan to wash them after i harvest them as per interweb advice... i also plan to chop 2 on saturday dispite 0 amber trichs to avoid the entire crop being eaten by bugs. Have a look they look in awful health too me.. WHAT SHOULD I DO 😭😭 Thet had all the love and had been perfecr up until last 2 weeks

I’ve have two auto grows under my belt and from what I can tell autos don’t go amber like photo plants do. Atleast the 4 different strains I’ve grown didn’t. They went from cloudy to white to dark brown.

Oh lol.. well i think mine mite be dying then as they r so far over.. everything iv read says they should go amber which is why iv waited so long... chopped a bit off few days ago and am fast drying to test it.. it better get me high 😂 wudnt grow outdoors here again it was a real trial and then to get all these fails right when its most important... indoors for next one 👌 ty for reply ✌

I did the same thing. First grow I let them go over a week but they never turned so I harvested. 2nd round I waited them out and they were about 50% brown when I harvested. Turned overnight, went from all white to brown. They’re still curing so hopefully they’ll still do the job

It's probably a bit late to deal with a white fly infestation at this point. Remove as many of the dead and dying leaves as you can and get them out of your greenhouse. Give your plants a good rinse and hope for the best. Live and learn is the game here. Having a greenhouse is the perfect environment for keeping ladybugs and mantises to prevent this from occurring next grow.

Ill smoke those white flys... their mistake stepping between me and my weed 😂 id read i can set up water baths after harvest with lemon juice/hydrogen peroxide to attempt to rinse em off afterwards.. and i actually had about 30 ladybirds (my kids collected) in there they just escaped 😂. Either way i think my main query is should i harvest asap? Or wait longer? Trichs all look amber to my untrained eye (have been for 2 weeks or more). Guessing the infestation kinda makes my choice for me?

I'm sure we've smoked in our years of growing outdoors a few little white flies but i've never washed buds ever. If it's so badly infected with crawlers i'd grind it up and decarb for edibles. But a few bugs tiny flies small web on a leaf nope she's going to be cured and used.
