This was a def a noob mistake but I will learn from it. I have 3 Dutch passion Autoblackberry Kush plants going. I also started 3 heavyweight (Fem) Strawberry Cake plants and 1 Dinafem OG Kush (Fem). Of course I was reading the time frame for the auto's which is about 60 days etc. So I started all plants at the same time thinking that in 60 - 75 days I would be harvesting the autos and then can flip the Fems to 12/12. Now I think the Fems are about to outgrow my tent!!! I just ordered another tent (taller) but I don't how much longer to let my AutoBlackberry's to go. I hear some people say the auto's won't go amber etc. Just from looking at my auto's can anyone tell me if i should let them go some more? I see other auto's at harvest on this site and the main bud looks like on continuous bud, should I let mine grow until it looks like 1 long bud instead of some smaller chunky buds? Is my tent too full on the right side?

How old are the blackberry's? They still have a couple more weeks from the looks of things, and those photo plants in the corner are gonna almost double in size when they get flipped for flower

I Started the Blackberrys on 6/30/2016 so they have been around for 56 days. I know I am going to have a time controlling the photos when I flip them. I have a taller grow tent coming so I hope that will hold them. I know now not to go by the breeders time frame :wall:. Next time I will start the autos for a month and a half then start the photos. The blackberrys smell great when I open the tent8).

Thanks I wasn't really sure but yes the pistils aren't receding fully yet.
Man, you weren't lying. I see what the difference a couple of weeks make. So, if you are still following this. What do you think now, ready to be cut?

If a cop sez I feared for my life and a breeder sez 65 days to harvest, believe the cop.
