auto thc bomb under 270 w of cfl in ffof. given only ff N-P-K when needed, except weeks 2-5 i added some big bud from a.n. Temps stay around 77. my question is...can it be finished already at 60 days? or, has it been more than 60 days. The reason i put it like that is, I must not have planted the seed deep enough after germination, and it sprouted with the shell still attached. It was on there pretty good, so i let nature run its course, but i had eventually had to pry it off, but it was in this state for about 2 weeks..Now the plant looks great, but its only 60 days from when i popped the shell off, which would make it 74 days since germination..trichs are cloudy/amber and buds look just about done..i thought the two weeks it was stuck was just gonna set my schedule back, but im wondering if i chop soon or what..any experience with somethin like this?? im still kinda new to autos..recently finished "think different" strain and loved it..any advice would help. Thanks.

Also, don't forget you will need up to 5 days of flushing with water so that is almost an extra week, but it is a must.

i flushed today (a day after this first post). is it ok to chop the main cola first on an auto, or will the rest not recover and just halt? not until its properly flushed first, of course.

You can harvest the top cola. Many autos have a dominant main cola and the lower buds mature a bit slower. You can take off the main and let the lowers hang out for another week or so until they amber.

Flushing is not always necessary, but I still do it. In the last week I use a flushing compound and run a few gallons through them. This ups humidity in the grow space though..

I did the partial harvest a few times hoping the lower buds would beat up, but in my case, it was not worth it.
