They are done with the “pre flower stretch”. They will just focus on growing you some fat sticky buds now. Perfectly normal.

Plants look great to me. How long have you been in flower. Three weeks?

Yep I thought since they were autos they would be almost done by now since the time frame is 9-11 weeks

Usually those time-frames are referring to weeks from the start of flower…but even then don’t put any stock in that. When your white hairs start to orange…in 4-6 weeks from now. Start looking at your trichomes with a scope or loupe.

Your welcome

@Sheinmykia26,
Like @Eagles009 is pointing out; your stretch is over. I also let some panic set in when my first grow had a runt that never got over 12”. It sure produced some big buds though. I think you are looking good, and watch over the next 3 weeks. Your buds aren’t done! They are just getting going. Please tag me with your end result. Can’t wait to see them. Stay Growing!

I started a gg auto in august and it’s still not done. Going on week 14 with another one or two to go. Had a gsc that I started at the same time and it’s already chopped, dried and curing. All autos are going to be a little different. What you grow in can also change the amount of veg time you get. Try not to rush your harvest. You will thank yourself in a few weeks when your smoking fat dense buds :dash:

I agree @Eagles009, I’m completing my 1st grow WW auto. She’s in darkness & will chop Tuesday.


Happy growing

Oh no, @Adcrag1, if those are current pics you have weeks to go. Chopping now would be a great disservice and a waste of months work.

@Adcrag1, @Sheinmykia26 This plant had more than 3 weeks to go and much more weight to put on . I know it’s hard but be patient

Make sure you are looking at a bud and not a sugar leaf

I think your plants look great keep taking care of them let those buds fatten up. Also 3 gallon pot will limit the size of your plant.
