Question about Auto’s

I’ve grown for a long time, but this is my first try with autos. I got 5 GG seeds from Growers Choice. Popped them April 9th. It’s been 100 days since germination date. They’re small but nice and frosty, I only see some clear and mostly cloudy trichs, very few Amber’s on the outer sugar leaves.
I thought these were 90 day finishers, I can let them go, just wondering if I should or not.

Yeah. I know that about seed sites. It’s been forever since I’ve ordered online, I keep mother plants or get clones from friends for my regular grow. Just not as sure with autos.

Nice first go at autos. Definitely go with what the plant tells you, not the breeder. A lot of auto breeder estimates are also based on indoor grows, and outdoors with cool nights and less than 20 hours of light per day (some even grow them 24/0) can impact how long they take to finish.

Yeah.. April and May they were indoors under a KIND XL 750 LED 20/4
They’ve been outdoors since sometime in June.
I guess I’ll just treat them like regular plants. Just thought It weird they’re past day 100 and still look about 2 weeks from finished

Same here. Outdoor grow and I'm 2 weeks past "thier" estimated harvest time. Like they said listen to the plant. Beautiful job on a 1st auto grow.
