I have some Himalayan Blue Diesel Autoflowers that have been going for 64 Days on the oldest, and 58 days old on the other two. The oldest HBD is the one in the middle. Temps started out high around 90F, now last week I got them down to around 80F.This is my first time growing indoors and first time growing autoflowers. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. [video=youtube;3ic-00cP4u4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ic-00cP4u4[/video]

They all look nice and frosty IndoGrower, as far as your temps go you need to get something in your room to get them temps down to at least 70 to 75 because marijuana slows growth around 85 or so, I mean its not gonna stop growing or anything its just gonna take longer to finish but bad things sometimes go along with high temps in a grow room...if you can invest in a 60 to 100x magnification LED scope it will help in figuring out when you want to harvest your plants, you will be able to tell what your trichromes look like a plant is ripe when 1/3 of them are amber but its your preference. By the look of your plants id say you should get that temp down then let them go for another 2 weeks, trust me brother wait it out it will pay off in the end!!

Your plants look great man! It's been cool following your thread, and I like what you've done with the Stealth Cab! Anyways, try to get an LED scope so you can check out the trichomes close up...that's the only real way to tell. Research your strain as well and check out the regular flowering time and such. An LED scope is necessary though, you gotta harvest it just at the right time. Most mids (or high end mids) you see on the street (excluding mexican brick) had potential to be dank, but the grower harvested it at the wrong time and/or cured the buds wrong! No joke. You're on the right track so far, so keep it up! Buy an LED scope, wait till about 1/3 of the trichomes are a milky white and/or amber color, then chop those babies down! Hang them to dry until most of the moisture on the outside is gone. Then, dry them in mason jars and "burp" (let the air out by opening the jar) them frequently throughout the day. Also, store them in a cold dark place, but not too cold, just cool. Then, wait till they look like dank buds and smoke 'em! Curing is such an important part of the process, it'd be a shame to mess it up, but you'd be surprised how many people do! Keep it up man!
