Yes in a month from today i will be at week 16.
But it is bad to have a 100+ days plant?
I think they will have a massive yeld to be honest cause i've already have buds that look like they will be 20g alone or more
How much time should i wait to harvest?

Not bad at all. The plant needs to run its course. The only bad thing would be to chop early. You’re going to have to be patient and maybe try to manage the height. I’ve found it easy to burn autos with too much light (currently running my 300w system at 60% and pretty high from the canopy, 24/7 - perfectly effective).
An underripe plant won’t go bad. No issues at all. Start watching humidity levels as the buds get denser. Make sure you have air flow. They do look massive.
PS: I’m no expert and still learning also, though I have several grows under my belt now. Read a lot here too. Just to be as transparent as possible. There are some real experts here too. I’m sure you’re reading their stuff as well.

I'm not familiar with your lights, but saw earlier you mentioned replacing them. I personally would get a few more grows under your belt before replacing anything. Plants look healthy and happy you just have 4-5 weeks left minimum. I know you are counting days from seed, but are you also counting days since flower?
Just rememeber they finish when they are ready, not when they hit XX days like the package says, lots of different factors can affect how quickly(or not) she'll finish.

Oh snap my bad for the confusion brother's, I didn't notice it was at 10 weeks, yeah I'd say something went wrong somewhere if that's 10 weeks already, I've never had a auto go pass 11 weeks personally, could be the genetics to, I had a GSC auto from Barney farms go straight mutant mode on me and the whole plant took 6 weeks before any pre flowers showed and then the entire plant fox tailed, it was the craziest thing I've ever seen in my garden, i know it was genetics to because the other 4 grown right next to it turned out amazing and perfectly normal.
I'll see if I can find any pictures from it.

I’d love to see pics of your eight week old harvest. Again, I’ve never had a mature auto before 11 weeks. Growing four right now, day 76. One of them is close (advertised as a 65 day plant), one is atleast two weeks out. I expect 90 days when I plant them. Pleasant surprise if they’re ready earlier. It’s really easy to harvest too early. I did on my first grow or two.

Yes they have 4 weeks since they start flowering they enter the week 5 tomorrow.
I just have all those doubts cause it's first time growing.
And i've never seen olants growing before so i started almost blind just with the videos i've seen and things i've read.

I used a 50litre bag of soil in the 3 pots and 10l perlite so 20litre pots

Thank you i really want them to be healthy i would love to have a nice first grow and to make things right at the first grow cause i know that's a journey and we learn something at every grow we made.
Unfortunatelly in my country they've only made it legal in 2023 so i waited untill now to grow cause every time i buy weed, i'm sad with the quality. So i want to have something better than i can buy in the streets

I have good airflow with 2 fans and my humidity it's from 45 to 65.
The 65 it's like and hour after i water them and 45 it's before watering. Do you think that's good for them?

Man I can't find the photos right this moment but the whole plant looked like nerds rope candy lol it was all stem with nothing but a single layer of calyxes, literally from top to bottom just calyxes that never bulked up or ever even shot hairs out, just frosty calyxes lol I ended up turning it into infused coconut oil and it came out real good still, definitely not nearly as potent as I'd like but 100% not a waste of time or tent space in the end.

I keep it below 50% once the flowers really start to form. Natural to have a little spike after you water. Do you have a humidity triggered exhaust system?
Antonio Pinto

Nope but i have a really strong dehumidifier that if i switch on maximum it turns the tent to 40% in like an hour and that's collecting more than a litre per day

I recommend you look at an in-line fan/carbon filter combo. Really useful for several reasons, but you can add any number of devices that trigger the system based on humidity or temp. Important for air exchange, scent control, environment control, etc.

I had a carbon filter exhausting system but had to take it off cause the plants overgrown the tent space.

You can put it outside the tent or on the floor. I’d find a way to get it back involved

It should help to get the plants healthier?

It will help maintain the environment you want to assure a healthy plant. The real goal is preventing mold or too much moisture as the buds thicken up and also keeping fresh air circulating through.

Depends if you want to grow one for 100 days. Looks like it’ll be worth it! Longer veg is nice but it’s also appreciated in ones planting regime to be made aware of extended veg times!
