Small Autoflowering Plant - Ready to Harvest?

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by dannyjee, Jul 22, 2018.

    First thing first, this is my first plant and I have been a complete noob.

    The strain is either Fast Bud or Killer Kush (Had two batches of seed, most of them died)

    The plant has been grown outdoor for around 2 months now and has been transplanted once (I know big mistake)

    In the last few days the pistils have started to turn orange/brown and as far as what I've been reading is telling me, it's ready for harvest

    This said, the buds looks really small and I have no idea if this means harvesting or not

    I added two pictures below and was hoping for someone to be be very helpful and tell me at what stage the plant is and if harvesting is needed

    Glad I found a pic that looked similar to an Auto I had. I harvested too early I suppose. I don't fully understand Autos at this time. The website I ordered from said can finish in 70 days. I'm going on day 90. Do you think you can wait another week? Are you adding a bulking agent?

    I honestly have no idea what to do and what's going on

    Only thing I know is that it's an Auto, It's flowering, Pistils where white and now are Orange, Bud is small

    I added Flowering liquid fertiliser for 5-6 times in two weeks, previously I gave it Vegetative fertilizer 5-6 times in 3 weeks. As a seedling it survived in very warm climate with low levels of water. Most seeds died though (7/8). Unfortunately I underestimated the amount of watering and only properly researched when it was too late.

    This said, if there are any buds at all they are really small. I'm not hoping for a huge yield but at least a 4-5 grams would be acceptable. Aren't buds supposed to be a lot bigger than this? Should I wait more?

    Anyone else that has some knowledge about it, please help a brother out!

    I would wait honestly. Just drag it out and see what comes of it. If you harvest early you will not see the end results, just small buds. I was lucky I have two auto's growing, well I harvested one and now I wish I had waited.

    Most autos veg for three weeks and then flower for another 8+. I'm guessing yours are around week 5, so another 3 weeks anyway. Week 6, of flower, you should see those buds swell up and then you'll be happy. Looking good you just got to be patient now.

    Ahh that sounds like great news

    Especially because I got paranoid and sprayed neem oil on it to avoid spider mites after I saw a few webs between leaves

    Hopefully 3 weeks is enough to get the neem oil out

    Pistils look fine, they're not burnt. How big is it and what size of pot do you have it in? You should see some growth in the buds these next couple of weeks and then wait for it to ripen. Also you'll flush at the end, so they'll be no trace of chemical taste in your buds.
