I have family coming into town for the holiday December 1st and was hoping my plant would be done before then so my house wouldn't smell like complete pot after harvest. How much longer do these look like they have? They're 9 weeks old Red Poison Auto flower. Light cycle 12/12
How much longer do they have?

3-5 weeks is my best guess. They're not close. They've stretched quite a bit and those upper leaves drooping indicate some issues, I'd work on that next grow. They might've grown faster without those issues. Good luck!
Dang! Alright thanks man

Hey, you never know, but when the white hairs still have that translucent look, it generally means theyve got some time still.

I've never grown an autoflower but I am assuming that the flowering period is the same? Like after bud formation?
Those are about 2 weeks into flower I would say. Depending on your autoflower I have heard anywhere from 6-9 weeks for harvest. I know it's a wide window, but you have anywhere from 4-7 weeks to go. Dec 1st just isn't going to happen if you want them ripe. Can you get a carbon filter for the smell?

Yeah, probably try to grab one this weekend.

yeah man not even close to done. Those are like The Yokel said about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks into flower, at least 40 days left if not more. And you have Nitrogen toxicity going on there hence the clawed over deep green leaves. Flush those ladies big time! And you cant tell ripeness from pistils, different strains the pistils die back at different times, sometimes really early, sometimes at the end. You need to look at the resin glands and when they are all milky white and about 20% amber they are finished. Less amber for head high, and more amber for couch lock.

I said generally, not always. Have some tact dude.
Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient, toxicity does not manifest top-down. Its most likely stress, probably heat.

don't get all butt hurt dude. , and in my experience ive seen it claw older growth first, and sometimes newer growth first. With the little information given it is possible its a P overload but need more info.

Again, tact.
So what does the term "flush" mean and how would I get rid of nitrogen toxicity?

Watering with plain, pH'd water for a period of time. I'd recommend researching the forums for flushing, many good growers do not recommend it. You are starving the plant of necessary nutrients. Remember, you can't 'flush away' nutrients that have already been absorbed by the plant, but you can simply not provide them.

If you think the plant is nitrogen-toxic, provide less nitrogen. Its impossible to tell from pictures what is the cause of plant problems. Start with correct pH and desolved solids and follow manufacturer dosing instructions for nutrients.

where in my original reply exactly did I not have tact or diplomacy? Maybe youre just too sensitive. Didn't even direct the pistils and ripeness thing at you, was just putting the accurate way to determine ripeness on there. Have a beaut
Flushing just means running 3x the amount of water as you have soil through the pot. So if you have say 5 gallons of soil in your pot, you would run 15 gallons or close to of water through it to flush any built up salts or excess nutrients out of the soil. This will help rid the soil of excess Nitrogen in the soil.

I'm over it. /handshake
I assumed the op is doing hydro, my mistake. If soil, especially time release stuff like miracle gro, I'm all for flushing it.

I am using hydro. So is nitro not the issue if it is?

Plants look healthy to me. Having that much Nitrogen that early into flowering is a good thing. Keep on keeping on and give it a good 7 more weeks.
You WILL need a carbon filter so git r done and no delay.
