Still a fair amount of white pistils, still some clear trichs, there's some amber, but it's on the sugar leaves, a couple weeks.

Assuming you continue to get good weather, I'd say mark your calendar somewhere between October 10-20 to harvest. The buds look like they need some fill-in time besides still ripening.
Thanks

Say about a month if indoors, but since you arent.... depends on weather.

It is if you had a hermie/nanners or someone near you has a male plant. Other than that there should be no seeds.
It is a stand alone plant. Not sure how far a male plant would be. Got the seeds from Homegrowncannabis. I tried a very early bud. It is very good just wondering about the seeds

Like I said, they don't get seeds without male flowers somewhere, so either you had nanners or male flowers you didn't see, or someone nearby has a male plant. Cannabis is wind pollinated, so the plants could be quite a ways away, but since you said there's a lot of seeds, my guess is it hermed early and you didn't see it.
So just did a little research. This plant has been outside through all the extream heat this summer. Would that have stressed it enough to create nanners. I'm a old dude. Smoked alot in the 70's and 80's. Work made it so i couldnt smoke until now (retired.). I know i can go buy but want to grow as a hobby. Thanks for the input.

I wouldn't think that weather would cause it, but these days I think nannners are practically inbred into the strains. Never had nanner issues in the 70's.

Autos aren't the hardiest plants, at least not the average auto. Memphisto makes some great quality autos, maybe he has something for outdoors?
I would advise switching to a photo period plant and avoid buying local seeds.
The good stuff takes years to hunt, isolate, breed and seed. People around KC are trying to make a quick buck crossing God knows what, especially autos.
Case and point.
1. Look at every known strain, their parents are usually listed or speculated upon. You have a GG4 auto, no word of the other parent. Someone is trying to market an auto cross as GG4, and if it produced valid nanners, it's clearly not well worked.
2. AK Bean Brains sells TKNL5 x Haze, aswell as Consumption, which is a worked selection of TKNL5 x Haze.
If you make a cross it should, in good faith, be named by the parents. A special cut might get a name, or back in the day some situations would lead to stuff like Chem, which is a name for a killer bag seed plant, but traditionally a line should be worked before its named.
You didn't do a bad job with this grow all things considered. I would just avoid autos, especially locally produced crap. The KC scene is a bunch of wannabes drowning out people with a passion.
You can do this, you just gotta be ready to learn from every grow. Best of luck from a fellow KC native.
