Autoflower time line

How long does it really take? My plants are all on like day 76 from popping up and still seems to have 7 days or more b4 ready. Crop King seeds WW EM and CC autos. I'm just wondering if they count the veg time when the say 7 weeks flower or does that mean 7 weeks of flower b4 ready

Just be patient they will be ready when they are ready!

Never trust the breeding 8 week from seed bull lol autos are great for stealth and to run beside your regulars because they don't require light change. They are easy to take care of and usually produce at least an ounce under good conditions. As for time to yield, they differ from breeder. My auto blue diesel took 10 weeks from seed and still could have used another week. My auto dark devil auto on day 52.. and she is only in week 2.7 of flower. But she is 7 weeks from seed. So she is going to need another month. So they can range from 10-14 weeks from seed. But that is stil better time then a ref, where you have to switch to 12/12 and wait that week or so for the switch to happen. (Unless you're outdoor and then it's just bliss)
Patience is key for sure, if you're not sure, it's not ready usually.

You can never go by the breeders timeline. They are over optimistic and also going by the absolute best it can be. Generally it is going to be several weeks longer than stated.

Ripped did you get the person I sure hope so

I just pop pairs of seeds EVERY 2 to 2 1/2 weeks , so I cycle grows.
Once the autos , hit preflower ( day 30-40ish ) the next two are running the last legs of veg. " Average " auto days will be under 90 days total.

Very few strains ACTUALLY FINISH as stated. The breeder estimates are for
" OPTIMAL GROW CONDITIONS " mean lab controlled , same as they grow for seed breeding and stable product.

So .... We have to let them finish .... When they finish. The breeder info is a guide only.
Heavy Sativa crosses WILL REQUIRE LONGER to maximize ripeness. Some can run 11-12 weeks or so. Indica run can also linger - I harvested one on day 77 , so triche check is the ONLY TRUE SCALE to go by ..... Not how long the grow.

Modern autos are much more potent and worth the effort compared ... Say 15 years ago or so. As long as you give her the best conditions right from seed to the veg stage then the rest will pan out. I begin LST starting about week2 of growth and let her shape herself.
Some may preflower faster than others ... There is nothing you can do to stop it.

Flowering :
Once see sex and begins preflower , THEN begin counting from there.
No one plant finishes the same , I cut some down on day 77 ( 11 week ) , some on day 85 , some on day 66 ( 60 day wonder / white dwarf ) .

I just hope I can wait LOL wanting to try my 1st grown bud really bad LOL. I don't want to cut a bud off and try cause if its good I'd be cutting em all.

MSNL says that Auto Caramelicous is <8 wks, week 7 and the only one that is close to 8 wks is a heavy indica pheno of it and it still has 2-3wks, I am Impressed by Auto Caramelicous though,

I saw your thread, good expierement, am a fan of Kush Strains aswel, wanted to go with flavor and am hoping the Caramel delivers,

The breeder times are rarely right. Figure the breeder times if you are using a 1 gallon pot. Bigger pots extend veg time and using veg nutes all the way through extends veg time.

There are little tricks you will pick up on that will grow bigger autos. If you are in a 3-5 gallon pot and use veg nutes at least through stretch figure at least 100 days.

Are you saying I gonna have about 120 days in the Kush grow all are in 5 gallon fabric pots

With times like that the only plus for Autos become No hassle with Light schedule if you wish, and generally smaller Heights,
