3-4 weeks unchanged - still clear trichomes

I have this plant, Big Bang Automatic (turned out to be little bang as it only got about 12 inches tall.
Anyway, I have been looking at this plant under a microscope every 2 days for almost 3 weeks now and it hasn't changed at all. Leaves continue to slowly yellow and wilt one by one but this plant is now almost 5 months old and for an automatic.. that's ridiculous!

Thank for any thoughts!

looks like she stopped producing. those yellow tips are most likely from calcium def. but I wouldn't try adding any this late. your trichs will milk up. some strains take a lot longer for the trichs to degrade. warmer temps usually speed up the process but it is not really a bad thing IMO. The less degrading the better so that most trichs go milky but not amber.

I grew 4 autos same strain outdoors a few years ago. 3 flowered like an auto should. The fourth started when they did but didn't seem to find an end. It flowered throughout the summer. It for some reason never came to amber. I just chalked it up to auto genetics and figured the one bean an oddball. I pulled it cured it and when I smoked it, found it didn't taste the same. Whether because of the long flower, dunno. But I still got a great high from it.

Thanks for the responses guys. I'll keep an eye on her for a few days yet. I inspected it today and did notice it has just a couple seeds in it throughout. Very odd as it flowered several months ago but I found a hermi plant of a TCH bomb which I pulled as soon as I saw the first pollen sack open so it may have caught 5-10 hairs on this plant. I'm guessing that would slow things down too. It's not full of seed as it was flowered before I even sexed the others but 4-5 heads on it have 1-2 seeds.. odd ha ha

No its not odd. I let some of my girls go way past their prime, they will seed. Not full bud of seeds but u may get a seed or two here and their. I'v tried CS mist to make my auto male for pollen, never have I got that to work. (photos yes auto no) Its the plants last chance to reproduce so they make a few seeds. I have got a few hundred of seeds this way.

I am just now growing my first auto, but it seems that most people agree that they need 18+ hours or light to produce well.
