This was supposed to be a Gold Leaf autoflower but the photosensitive ones were shipped by mistake. I should have noticed something was weird after 3 months but nope, I kept them on a 24/7 light schedule.
Once you guys helped me figure it out and I switched to a 12/12 light schedule, flowers started and I thought life was good. But I’m concerned.
This picture shows a 4 week old flower. I thought it would start turning brown around 7 weeks. Should I start harvesting flowers when they get to this stage? They’re so scrawny because I did everything wrong, so I’m chalking these plants up to what not to do when growing.
I’d like these to keep a good flavor so I don’t want to keep them on the plant longer than they have to be.
Does anyone have thoughts on my train wreck?
I almost forgot to mention how fantastic ILGM’s customer service is. They went above and beyond the call of duty to make me happy
You have a long way to go. I see nothing wrong. Pistils on calyx die leaving the calyx behind which gets buried under new bud calyxes. This keeps happening until you have a coffee can sized bud. Or at least a Bud Lite Tall Boy lol.
Yup u got a bit more to go. MyFriend is spot on. Once they all go amber and poof out a bit, you want to have a jewelers loupe on standby to check trichs for bud ripeness
I bought a jewelers loupe. My vision is so bad I still can’t tell what the heck is going on with my babies. I took some pictures in macro mode. Also, when I was misting them today I bumped one of the buds with my hand. I noticed a sticky residue that smelled really darn good. They started to flower at the end of July.
