True that.... I just ran Citrus Berry and she finished flowering @ 50 days indoors organic soil and I got 6 zips dried ..... VEG was about 5 weeks. AUTOs I'm lucky if I get 1 zip dried.

zip = oz... (in us OZ = 28 grams). I don't use chemical fertilizer just organic soil so AUTOs don't get big. Dark Devil/Red Poison/Dark Cream are my favorites. They don't get big. My last Citrus Berry finished before they did and she was put into flower about a few weeks after the AUTOs were already growing.
The AUTOs I run are for personal stash so not too concerned with yield only quality. Why I use organic soil and no bottled anything.

I knew how much grams is oz, but I didnt know zip=oz, its so confusing for Us eu people something is in foot/feet, then inch, and so on and so on... I didnt grew organic but I think that it doiesnt matter but I dont know so I would claim that. I m using potground H dutch soil, and AN nutes coz I always had fckn ph lock or some other s... Only organic thing I use Is molasses,and Its a bomb!! As can i see you do sweet seeds, good compny, whats yor light schedule? pot size' do ou transplant them? Did you tried mephisto?

Yes tried many of the main streem AUTO seed banks. Like Sweet's RED lines for personal. Only time I run AUTOs is spring time for summer stash.

AUTOs I run at 18/6 under VERO29 COB type B so about 400w worth on a 3x5 table, light at 5ish" above canopy.

Organic soil and water only in #2 nursery pots start to finish. Some times we do a compost tea.. when I feel like it and also do regular IPM once a week unless bugs show up.

IPM has:
coconut water (pure) 1/4 cup,
Monterrey spray @ 1TBS,
1 cap full of Ful-Power
1 tsp of Pro-teckt
1/4 cup of Horsetail fern tea (gets rid of mold - (must start early in VEG)
Can add in some other goodies like Kelp Meal rehydrated and screened a few tbs
1 gal RO water.

That's enough for 30 plants in flower and VEG.

Shake and spray 1x a week. No mold - no pm - no bugs.

Soil is dialed in and tested. My Exotic plants are 6' tall and frosty as shit.

Labyrinth @ 40 ish days flower

Labyrinth - short pheno @ 40ish days - these will be harvested @ 50ish days. They are in super fade - big fans are falling off... once that's done ... chop time.

Wooow dude you have mastered this... My respect.. Big Respect.
If this "
in #2 nursery pots start to finish.
"

means that you grow in 2gal pots maybe thats the reason?? They like a lot space for their roots.. Im using 15l air pots,and before that I used 18l plain pots...

Other than that i dont know..Youre 4558x times above my growing skills..


And yes Im sorry dude but I had To Report you!!
Youre posting PORN IN HERE!!

BUD PORN!!

I'm good with Photo period plants, AUTOs not so much. I've tried 5gal containers and still get the same sized plants 20"ish..tall. So for me it's too much work to lug around 5gal of soil and that takes up a lot of room too.

With #2 nursery pots they are about the same height as a 5gal container just not as big side to side. The nursery pots are designed to be able to grow many many perennials for retrial sales so they don't have a big footprint. I can grow 20+ on a 3x5 grow table with 1 or 2 lights on them.. so small footprint and not a lot of electricity.
20ish plants got me about 20-22 zips dried of that black bud which has BIG time bag appeal. Actually doing it like that is pretty efficient and cost effective.

Thanks for the reps ... Passing them along to Clackamas Coots & his soil recipe it's the real deal and so have to give thanks to him.

She looks finished to me
Don't always go by the color of the trichomes look at the shape and size of the calyx. If you go too long the calyx start to shrink that's when the fruit is over ripe. Maybe you like couch lock??

Typically when no more new pistols that's when I seriously consider chop then I look at the shape of the calyx nice fat and round orange pistols shrivelled chop time.
Looks to me like you are there.

Nice looking lady that looks mighty fine.

Foxtails.... I run VERO29 Cobs.. and I'm finishing earlier than advertised on the package. I run a lot of Exotic gear as well.
Looks "to me" that you are very close if not ready to chop. The foxtails usually are a sign of plants last ditch effort to reproduce.

Also sometimes I get them with mold/pm deep in the top colas. End up chucking out a few buds and usually they are the ones with the foxtails. So you have that... looks like a lot of green leaf there.... likely from too much Nitrogen .... that can also cause foxtails. All my plants have a lot of fall colors by this time in the run and many if not all of the big old fan leaves have fallen off.

I've not run Grease Monkey yet, I looked at a lot of other pics and the plants all look pretty similar to yours so I wouldn't worry and just chop when you're ready. Your plants look pretty good and frosty too! Trimming is going to be a some work! I like to chop earlier than later.

Are you counting days in flower from the time flowers showed up or days after flip?

11/13 is fine... I run my lights 11:30/12:30 in flower. I don't really think it matters much IMHO.

You don't see the pistils in the first pic. That's a hermie with both male and female parts.
Nope don't see any pistols (clearly) in the first pic and why I asked. I see stipules but no calyx with pistols... just straight up male bits. Could be a few pistols but not clear in the pic.

OP yes you can pull them off they will not grow back unless the plant in full on hermaphrodite and then you would see the male bit throughout the plant mixed in with flowers = chop and toss in compost pronto. If only a few down low you can run these to the end just remove them and keep a close eye on em.

You could also trim the lower branches that won't get much light at the main stem. That will stop that from happening. Likely the plant is stressed for some reason. I've had a few like that and never found them until trim time when I found a few seeds (under 5) .... many of the male bits likes that are sterile.
