She’s an auto @raustin 
Oh, sorry, I missed that. Well, when did she start showing pistils?

My longest Auto went 105 days from seed - so I would think you have at least another month

Well that seems very soon but I take it;) thanks @anon95385719. She probably will take longer than that but it gives me an idea what to expect. Another 4-6 weeks I am fine with, anything longer she’ll be an overly achieving auto;)

Be careful not to let it go too long. As soon as u see amber trichs watch closely. They turn amber as they degrade. 10 weeks flower for an auto is not on the short side. U say u r in week 7 of flower now. No way u will go 6 more weeks. Not likely u will go 4 but there’s that chance

She started the pistils I think 29th of April, I noticed them on the 2nd of May so exactly 3 weeks from seed in water but those were just the pre-flower pistils right? Do we count flower time from then? I turning into newbie mode again;)
Shop description says 45-55 days of flowering. If I count from the first pistils then she’s at day 49😯 I know those shop estimates are prefect conditions average so @anon95385719 you are right she might be ready sooner rather than later but I wish she’d bulk up more as it looks like she is only half way through to my newbie eyes;)

I would estimate 3-4 more weeks to go.

Yes, she will definitely fatten up in that time, don’t worry, she looks amazing.

She requires 5 litres every second day now to get run off and soak her. That’s 1.3 gallon
I might start prepping and thinking where I am gonna dry the buds! Haven’t thoughtso far ahead yet

Lol, it’s a good problem to have. I dry in my tent.

Hehe, thanks @raustin, I have a ctually plenty of space above the lights by the filter so it sounds like a good place and will contain any smell. So the 18 hours of light won’t bother the drying buds? The cob fans will blow warm air at the hanging buds as well, which is good, right?

I know there are people that dry with lights on, but I don’t. When my grow is done I turn my tent into a drying room and that’s all it does, so the lights are off. I think it’s better to have the lights out when drying. You can also use brown paper bags, or a cardboard box to dry.

I still have BB and CI in there so the lights would have to be on. Or I could some how connect a large carboard box to the tent to suck the air through it and keep the smell down…hmm…duck tape engineering;) Thank you @raustin you are a star!
Forgot to mention that BB is forming buds the sneaky little frwak of nature! I haven’t even noticed… and bam!

Yeah, that’s the problem with drying, I mean, you can dry almost anywhere, but the smell is hard to contain.

I have to agree with these 2 above. All my autos take forever. I am on week 11 for my AK and figure i still have about a month to go with her, maybe a little more. It is taking longer than the BB. it will be 14 or 15 weeks. I forget off hand. I will find the link for drying in your tent so you can make up your own mind. It was started on here a while ago. my brain is not thinking really good right now lol I was looking for the same info when i came across it in here. If you have a smallish spare closet. It works too. I will take a few pictures of what I made up and post on my site. it worked great and only cost a few bucks. For the booster fan and ducting. I can change it back to a closet after using it. I am keeping mine as is to use when needed since I have the room.

U don’t want to dry with lights on. As soon as your plants are cut from the roots lights becomes the enemy. Light degrades THC.
Also 14 weeks of flower is incredibly long for an auto. Autos are in flower as soon as they hit veg so there is no transition time. U count flower as soon as you see the pistils bulb up.
