As I say in the title - they are both 93 days old, which is obviously bloody old for an auto. It's been cold here over (UK) the last few months and I had to move them up into the loft, so for a while they had some pretty cold nights. However, my set-up is now pretty sweet (tent with a 400hps and a heater with thermostat plug for the cold nights) so they've had a much better time the last month or 2.
Also, I foolishly started some bagseeds a month after the autos, so I switched to 12/12 about 6 weeks(ish) ago.... so they aren't getting all the light they deserve! However, the bagseeds are now coming along nicely and I'm pretty sure I'll get a much better harvest from them in a month or so (good old bagseeds!).
I won't be so stupid with my next grow - it'll be all autos on 18/6.
But yes, I reckon they need a couple more weeks... many thanks for the second opinion though gantsa!

A lot of these newer breeders are coming out with strains that they are calling auto-flowers that arent stable strains, so some are true autos, some arent and some get stuck in between. Kind of a jip i think on their part for selling an unstable product.

It was cfl grown until shortly after flowering. Then I changed to 150w HPS. Not exactly sure how long into flower... I can go back on my posts and figure it out, but I'm sure 9 weeks is a good guess.
Thanks for your help.
Yeah well i got a couple under my belt but all diff strains and 2nd opinions help. but anyone who's helping has left the building. its n00b to semi n00b to echo, echo........

Hi There,
A friend of mine has been growing his AK48 outdoor over the past few months and were wondering whether it's nearly done. Up too now I've been growing my AK48 indoors only and my plants doesn't look anything like his so to be honest I really don't have a clue on how far it still needs to go before chopping. I harvested mine about three weeks ago and both his clone and mine were cut from the same mother.
What do you folks think? We getting close or do we leave it for another few weeks or so?
Thanks in advance..

If it's ready or not is something you kinda have to decide.
Are you able to look at the Trichromes? There should be a a large number of cloudy and amber vs clear. But how many of each is really a matter of preference.
All the hairs should be good and red, and should have curled. If there's new growth at all, or your seeing any NEW white hairs, it's NOT ready.
If your digital camera has a CLOSE-UP (or MACRO) setting, try using that and reposting a few pictures. The distance, and lighting makes is difficult to see the buds close enough.
But based on what we're able to see, and the sheer size of em, I'd say if they aren't ready now, then they have only a very short time left.
I'm no expert, but I've been reading the continuation of this thread since I signed up on the site, and started by reading about 70-80 pages before posting the first time. I however am still uncomfortable giving you any time table or a yes or no on it's readiness. I might feel better about it if there were more closeup pictures.

Wow, tell your friend he's got a BEAUTIFUL lil crop. And yea, that def needs some more time.As I just said, good advice I read was "If you see new growth, or new growing white hairs, she's not done
"My advice to you, would be to go back and read a bunch of pages of this thread. Look at the pictures and the answers to them....keeping in mind that EVERY answer is an educated guess. The only one who can decide if your ladies are ready, is YOU.
Give it a couple weeks, take some new pics, and repost. Unless you get the feeling in less time that it might be ready, in which case....take some new pics and repost
