Yes she is. But you still got awhile, but that’s a good thing…plenty of time to bulk up. Keep doing what your doing…she looks tasty

I did notice that the buds at the top have darkened trichomes already. I assume the goal is everything transitions into that color.
Just looks like ya got a lot of white hairs still. I believe ya wanna wait till the hairs aren’t sticking out anymore and start to curl around the bud. But I’m not an expert…and you know your plants better than anyone. Make sure you’re looking at the trichomes with bulbs. Some trichs are just small hairs with no tip. And some are just small bulbs on the surface with no stem. Hope that makes sence.

Good to know. I’ve got here sleeping during the day so it doesn’t get so hot in my apartment so looking at her daily progression this week she’s changing rapidly. It’s kind of wild to see it happening so fast. I am seeing more darkening of hairs but bud development on the lower nodes seem to be slow. I guess I would expect that since they don’t get as much lighting.
Question though i was reading about not defoliating autos during flowering because she’ll stunt is that accurate? I feel like if I opened up some pathways for light to get in she would swell up dramatically but I’m a first time grower if autos so I’m relying on the community.
I’m sure you will get different opinions from the group. This is my first “solo” grow, so I’m no expert by no means. But I’m fortunate to have a seasoned veteran a few minutes down the road, we’ve been like brothers for decades and I’ve seen first hand his results over the years. So when he talks…I listen. I got a lot of my knowledge from him. So to answer your question, yes I do some defoliating but the best results I’ve gotten is to take the side branches and pull them away from the center and secure. And when doing so, try to keep all the tops the same distance from light.= more colas. It also lets light and air down to the lower bud sites. This is what I’ve been doing and then some defoliating. Doesn’t seem to be harming them at all. I have to readjust everyday cuz they’re busting out of their strings. I got 3 amnesia autos and 3 dreamberry auto. I got one of each just about to the finish line…and I’ve been defoliating and lst the whole way. Hope this helps

Those pics don’t do it justice…they are from last week. More recent ones.
I like hearing opinions when it comes to growing. Sound like I might try some adjusting of the bud sites like you suggested. Thanks!

The look great by the way.
Looking through here got me all teary-eyed. Feels like so long ago. My growing has gotten way better. Lol that gorilla glue didn’t flush well so it was incredibly harsh to smoke. Barely smoked any.
8-9weeks. …
How long did you let it cure for? A good cure can improve your buds a whole lot. Dont give up on it just yet.
Oh I cured it for about a month after but I didn’t flush the plant so it was incredibly harsh no matter how long it cured. I opened the jar about a month later and it smelled weird. I’ve grown a few harvest since that have turned out fire. You live you learn.

Sorry I was about a year late on that one! I just see a post and when I get to it, its like 2013 or something. I am glad to hear your next 50 lol grows went well. Peace…
