Harvesting Autos Early

Anybody here growing autos who harvests before the recommended time?
I've been growing LowLife auto AK47 since last January and I'm about at the end of my 4th harvest. The 70 days is over on Nov 25th.

They never seem to ripen and are stuck in the clear to cloudy phase even if I let them go 80 days. And if I let them go too long I risk mold as leaves start wilting inside the buds.

Harvesting at either 60 or 80 days gets me the same thing except a bit more weight. So I will again harvest early.

Any one else notice this with this strain?

They don't usually finish until about 12 weeks in. This strain takes usually 2-3 weeks longer then it says it does. I have never had to worry about mold because i let the buds go to long, maybe you need more circulation. I always say though if you like the high then pick it when ever you like. We can't tell you what high you like so it's up to you. I would suggest more air flow that will solve the mold problem. Give that a try and you shouldn't have a problem letting the plants go to 12 or 13 weeks.
