How much longer

First grow in 50 years, so now that my memory is shot I need to ask for some help. How much longer under decent growing conditions before I harvest these. I have never grown indoors before. This is my second try, the first try I had all male plants. These are Jock Horror autoflowering plants at about 2 months.

What do you have for lights? Looks like still in early flower, but could be insufficient lights. It should be at least half way through flower by now, and that doesn't look that far.

agreed with nomofatum. i'm doing jock horror feminized now and mine look just like yours. i'm at day 35 of flower. mine had very little veg time so it did stretch to about 18" during week 1 and 2 of 12/12.

are you doing 18/6 for your light schedule?

I am using four 60W daylight CFLs, I have had them on 12/12 for about 2 weeks but I guess I should go back to 16/8

Thanks all, I am going to increase light, go back to the 16/8 - since they are auto I probably should not have gone down to the 12/12 - I have a Medicine Man Sativa Hybird in the same room that I wanted to put in flowering, I'll just move that one out and increase the light here on the Jock Horror's

12/12 for auto set u back some. autos don't like multiple repottings either. keep growing, sounds like u took some time off, 50 years and all.

perhaps you'd like a 600 or 1000 watt light for bountiful medicine in the future.

Thanks, I know there are two different types of CFL's, one is natural daylight and the other is soft white. I just added two more of each and changed the timer to 18/6

I think I will just shell out the $ on the next grow for some good lights. I have some Short Rider Autoflower Feminized so I can put a better light system in and still not need a lot of space since they are small plants.

Looks like from every ones comments I slowed these down. I miss the good old days when I could just get a Kilo of Gold for $60, throw some of the seeds in the yard and let them grow.

First things first, actual 60w or 60w equivalent? Double check your bulbs, big difference 60w equivalent is actually 12-14w.

Daylight = somewhere between 5500k and 6500k, more blue, perfect main veg bulb
Warm White = 2700-3500k, more red, perfect main color for flower
