We are at week six and a half. I lost a week due to bad transplant but she recovered well. Also loosing weeks because I'm running 12/12 instead if 20/4. So moving along a little slower. I believe I have about three weeks left. That will make this a ten week auto. Even running 12/12 I am almost at breeders average height. They say9 inches. I will push a foot when some probably. Her she is. Looking sticky. Yummy.

just because it's an auto flower doesn't mean that it's going to be ready in 70 days.. i know people like to tell you that it's on a timer and it only has so long... it's true to a point doesn't mean that time is up in 70 days could be 120 days could be 55 days..

i'm going to stick to my same prediction of at least 8wks... what strain?? breader??

breeder times are ballpark to say the least
add about 2-3 weeks to what the breeder claims
if you start counting at preflower its about right

Exactly my thought. According to free der she will be ready in two weeks, but with my environment and stressed caused I can lean with another thre weeks in top of my three weeks as mentioned. She has time.

i'm not try'n to bust anyone's balls.. i'm just try'n to give you a better idea so you don't go cutting your plant way before it is ready.. Ok lets talk breeder times... these are under "LAB" conditions with expert growers.. i don't know about you but i don't have close to lab conditions and i am far from an expert grower.. by the looks of that plant and the fact that you think it's only supposed to be 9inches tells me your in the same boat.. you can't just calculate... well i had some stresses .. like you are say'n i'm adding a week because of a bad transplant.. that transplant could have set you back a month.. the problem is that you have this idea that these plants are on a timer.. the only thing that means is your plant will flower under any light cycle without being prompted artificially.. the "TIMER" doesn't mean that these plants only have 70days or 80days or what ever.. i'm just try'n to give you a dose of reality so you have some patience to let the plant grow to its full potential.. which will be at least 8wks.. could even be ten.. it's hard to tell since we don't even know what kind of light/soil/nutes your using or what kind of stress the plant has suffered.... but i guess i'll just check back in 3wks.. another thing that leads my to this estimate is i don't think Auto seeds makes any strains that don't have side branching of which you have none as of yet.. anyway good luck i hope you are right so you have quick bud.. but you should hope that i'm right cuz that means you will have more bud

and p.s i'm just telling you this as someone who has fucked up and stunted plenty of autos.. matter of fact four of the nine i'm growing right now are stunted cuz i fucked them up and they are going to take at least a month more then breeder time maybe more

I understand what youre saying but I doubt an additional 8-10 weeks on top of the already 7 weeks tomorrow. I know when to chop the plant, and if it does infact go another eight weeks then so be it. But I do appreciate your guidance and judgment as an experiences grower you are. Auto seeds did tell me that it may slow down a little but not that much.

She does also, have side branching if you look close. Also auto seeds just responded again and said it is not possible for this to take a total of 14 weeks plus. I concur. I beleive ten to 11 weeks tops.

The breeder is just saying they do not think its possible to take 14 weeks total even if running 12/12. I dont get on this site to argue. Everyones situation is different. I am sure it will take longer than what breeder says probably by a couple weeks but not that long. a month or more past breeders suggestion, no. She is flowering pretty rapidly and filling up with crystals.

Yea, breeder times are def off, my first grow of Blue mystic from Nirvana said 5-7 weeks of flowering but it's going on week 9 and two them just keep on budding. I could chop them but considering 2-3 pulls on just a flower and not even a cola bud is stoning me for 6 hours Imma let em go as long as they like. I started with CFLs so I had a sub par veg (imo) and didn't start full flower until day 37 + 9 weeks in now, so ya I can see 14 weeks, but I would say it's an extreme, and dependent on gear and strain. If it's a "speed" strain it should finish quicker. Boston is right though, those breeder times are based on their pro gear and lights etc.

Does kinda screw ya up on those first few harvests though, I know the feeling of being out and wanting that harvest to come along. Hang in there, and if ya got some more beans pop a few and get a head start to buffer the extra few weeks.

Yes I think three to four weeks left. She started flower on week 4-5 she's now seven weeks old. It's a quick finishing strain according to breeder 60-70 days. I think max four to five weeks left. Yes should be at least a decent eighth.

2013-09-11 23.06.22.jpg +2 weeks breeder time 2013-09-07 23.44.22.jpg started flowering about the time its sister was finishing looks like its got another 4-5 weeks ? breeder times said it was supposed be done a few weeks ago :confused: 2013-08-08 22.16.06.jpg

I believe the longer times just not 8 weeks more. If it is eight weeks more so be it. When this is done I'm gonna pitch an auto assassin and run on appropriate timer. This was a trial run in a one by one by one subwoofer that I had to do 12/12 on because of heat. I since moved her into a tall cabinet speaker. Better environment than the "cube". I agree that some breeders say this and it realty takes this much time but all in all I don't think right more weeks as she is well into flower.
