Longest growing autoflower?

[CannaDaTaBiz]

Ha I'll take that trophy! Started August and still going today under 18/6 lighting. I've pulled a pound and still got this much. She's in the back and those are DG in 5gal Hydro buckets. View attachment 1151265

Everytime I chop the lowers stretch up and start replacing the tops. I bet I could go a year and still have her producing.

Nice Does it give proper smoke or is the high similar to not completely finished plants?

It will rock your world was a bit of a downer before cure, after just 2 weeks it's killer daytime with no downing effects.

Mine started to die like this cut it dwn 8th of feb, was born about the same time of september. Guess i didnt win the price afterall..

On the pic i had already removed a few branches. Buds looked like worst i have ever seen, but were surprisingly potent, maybe half of decent weed. High is enjoyable also, good day smoke when you dont want to be too high : ) Got about 13grams from it after a very careful trimming.

Hey guys i have a Zkittles OG auto Barney's farm and here is it at day 77 its breeder finishing up time is 77 days and looks like 2-3 weeks left anyone have any experience growing this strain?

It needs roughly 2-3 weeks. Don't trust what the breeders say, always estimate more time. You can chop it now but potency will be low and the amount of weed not the one you should get.
Breeders have optimal grow environments and also their finishing time is not the optimum time for harvest. They say 77 days in your case, which is the exact time when the buds begin to have trichomes which are crystal clear at this time. Theoretically you can harvest.
But plants don't count time in human days. They will be ready when the conditions on your grow room allow them to be ready. Very few have optimal grow conditions in their grow room's.
Also the criteria of a plant being ready are what? Basically when all the trichomes become milky/cloudy then it has reached maximum potency. Do a daily check with your microscope/jeweler's loop to see what is going on.

Harvesting cannabis at the right time is just as important as how you grow the plant. Harvest marijuana buds too soon and you lose potency and yields; too late and you can end up making a batch of sleep medicine. Learn how to harvest at the perfect time, every time! Here's what you need...

I get it that you are very stressed and you need to smoke weed, but you have to be patient. You must also calculate a bit over a month for curing after you dry your buds to enjoy them at their full potential.

Thanks man im not stressed at all and it's actually the opposite of what your saying I want to let her run longer rather than shorter Its just have a trip in the next month for a few days and I would prefer to let the plant grow as long as possible to reach it's full potential rather than chopping her down early I know the breeders number is a guideline with optimal conditions. I was just looking for an educated guess as to when it would be likely ready to harvest at optimal window is all

Also nice article for checking readiness of plant thanks.

Go to your trip no worries. They only need water while you are away. Go to a gardening store and get something like on the video below (sorry sound is in greek, but you will get the picture).

A bag per plant can last 2-3 weeks with one wick or 1,5 week with 2 wicks. Don't try the bottle trick it will last for a day or two only.

I wouldn't leave it until I get back as that would be 15-16 weeks think she would be passed her best by then. Another 2.5 weeks I'll chop she should be ripe enough for chopping at that stage will be 97 days from popping head above soil.

If cannot find one just make one very easy and dead cheap, you will need a water bottle, a floor mop, a tube and water.
