Yesterday was the 11 week mark. I have terrible tremors in my hands and thought this Wi-Fi microscope was going to be my savior, but without a steady hand, it’s difficult for me to see any advice would be appreciated on how much longer on these girls.
Thanks Gromies!

I don’t know anything at all about auto’s, but I just read on here the other day in a different grow journal that the trichs don’t always turn amber. Again I don’t know Jack squat about an auto flower grow.
@Lacewing you have lots of knowledge about auto flowers right?

If that’s Banana purple punch by 420Fastbuds you’re in for one hell of a treat! That strain just won highest THC level in the world I believe it was back in December 2023
Nevertheless, I see very little Amber (only a few trichomes) if it were me, I’d let it go to 10% Amber.
I’ve got a 420 fast buds purple lemonade in week 11 of flower that it’s only not about 2% Amber I’ll let that go for another week or so till I see 10%
When you say week 11 is that week 11 of flower or since the seed broke the dirt?
What does 10% Amber look like when it’s achieved

Your trics look mostly cloudy. If you don’t like couch lock feels chop now.

If you are looking to chop at max THC , now is the time my friend. Each week, the more amber you get, THC degrades up to 3%. If you are wanting a couchlock, i would check again in a week.

I have a problem holding my microscope steady. I purchased a mike stand and then all I have to do is adjust for a clear picture and take the shot. Between shaking and the fans blowing it’s hard for sur. Nice grow congratulations

It’s week 11 from first sprout. The reason I wanted to try the fastbuds was to get a speedier harvest. Last ilgm GSC Extreme auto took almost 15 weeks to finish but yield was fantastic, the effects though definitely weren’t anything to write home about. I hope my bpp is that strong, that would be amazing, I guarantee I haven’t ever had a bud that close in thc percentage!
Wish me luck!

To technically you’re only in week 7 of flower. Everybody keeps saying chop and that’s fine. If it were me personally I’d wait to see some Amber. That strand tested at 34% THC from that particular breeder. That’s the highest testing of any autoflowers THC in the entire world 
I know exactly what you mean about ILGM GSCE I had one that took 17 weeks in flower.
Whatever you do think about it for a minute. 7 weeks in flower and truthfully you’re trichome pictures aren’t very clear. (Shaky at best)
Whatever you do I wish you the best of luck show me a picture of the entire plant if you don’t mind

I set the the camera on a milk crate and slide the plant up to it. That wait there’s no need to touch the camera

This is the kind I’m talking about. It works from a app on your phone or iPad. You set it up to your bud and take the pictures from your phone that way the camera isn’t shaking it also gives some great close ups that are very clear.

Sorry this took so long ,I have had a few that just refuse to stop throwing white pistols or get much past 10 percent amber
However the buds are hard like they are ready if that makes sense
This of course is after weeks of waiting for some change I just chop and the weed was still fire

You can put it in a microphone stand and it’s easy to adjust for the fine tuning

The stand it came with was a cheap plastic one
Now I have my phone in my left hand and the scope in the right hand
I adjust with my thumb ,but also just hold it right up against a bud site to keep it still this works in the wind outdoors too
Found it even easier actually

If it’s not too much to ask is it possible that you could take a picture of this banana purple punch. I’m curious to see what she looks like. I’ve been considering growing her as I’ve done some 420 fast buds strains and loved every single one of them

Sorry I didn’t get a lot of pics, but I have another one that sprouted about a week and a half ago and I will definitely try to get some good pics of that.

Thank you so much. I am totally sold. I love 420 fast buds. Every strand I’ve ever tried has been nothing but fire 
That has to be one of the most gorgeous plants I’ve ever seen thank you so much for posting that. You did a wonderful job.
When everything’s nice and dry and you decide to smoke it tag me in a small smoke report.
