my auto ak is running out of gas it seems I would like for it to feel out more as we are nearing day 55.

question how bad will the smoke be how much of a difference will the yield be. ak is a 70 days strain I believe. auto kush isn't showing signs of life cycle ending

what should I do?

Well, you're right about her running out of gas; developmentally, she looks more like week 2, not week 8-9. As far as the smoke, I'm thinking it would be mostly an unpleasant experience. There are no calyxes swelling so you would be smoking leaf matter with a few trichomes. I bet you'd get better smoke from your brick weed. I'm not sure what else to tell you bud. Better luck next time?

Possible root damage, bugs, hermied,definetly calcium/magnesium lockout and i swear it looks to be re-vegging.

Pretty sure I'm just going to finish her up on the 15th took a sample bud was really good smoke she will be ready with her sisters in the 15th which will be day 75 3 extra weeks. a quarter of decent bud is better then wasting my time completely. This batch of mg was bad and had to fight thru some things got my happy frog for next grow tho

discouraged isn't really the word Id use to describe it felt like I got kicked in the balls repeatedly but after doing some research I know it'll be fine thanks for answering guys

Hey, at least you had it bud. One of my buddies first rounds he showed me the closet where he was growing "weed." I went in there and saw a huge male plant tossing sacks everywhere. Your here so thats a step in the right direction,

Im sure any of these guys as well as myself can help you along the way with your next grow.

I'm not ready to call it quits on her just yet she's at 55 days I can stretch to 70 days n get something. don't feel to bad my auto Kush is doing much better n will make it to harvest! just a diffrent soil on this one

Cut between 70-75. My AK would be killer around that time. Leaves were still green but triches were phenomenal ( so I judged from there ) AUTOS are unpredictable in spite of breeder info. All those " so-called " 55/60 day strains actually do better running longer. Some will show leaf decay as it matures , some don't. I had 4 running same nutes , same light and 3 of them finished between day 70 , day 73 , day 77. The other was a runt and harvest around day 65 . Some Autos can be partially harvested and secondary buds ripen a little more. They will finish when they finish. Be patient.

Judge your plant by triches not breeder time or WEEKS , the key to AUTOS are letting them fully mature . Let the plant RIPEN .

Ya, I have to ask, is this the first plant you've killed? lol Don't just throw her out though, at least try what she's grown just don't expect anything better than shake. Something went wrong along the way, lock out, root rot, wrong temps, combination of these? Who knows, better luck next time bro.
