That almost sounds like a very distasteful troll tbh.Thanks for the input. I am going to wait for a little more amber but it looks to me like it's within the "harvest window" as well, based on what I've read.
I asked on another forum and the response I got was that the plant looked terrible, was starving for nutrients, had 3-4 weeks or more to go yet and probably wan't going to make it. I started second guessing what I was looking at because it looks pretty good to me, compared to a lot of finished autos I've seen.
Some people seem to think the yellowing fan leaves are a catastrophic sign of a dying plant. Based on my numbers in and out, I think it's just "fall fade" in this plant and not some sort of nutrient problem. I'd rather it stay greener but this one just didn't want to.
cal-mag is indeed not as necessary in most contexts as many think it usually is.I appreciate the input guys, makes me feel a lot better! I thought my plant was pretty darn solid for an auto, with a lot more bud than I've seen on many other posts. The poster I referred to earlier was chastising me for using cal/mag with a plant growing in soil and speculating that excess calcium has caused a lock out of other nutrients which in turn caused the leaves to turn yellow and drop off. He might be correct, I don't know. But either way I can't imagine that this plant has another month to go before it's ripe. That would put it out past 16 weeks old, and it already looks to me like it's within the early end of the prime harvest window.

Cal-mag is full of nitrates (N) though. Would usually cause the opposite problem they claimed if using too much in flower tbh, plants would get dark and shiny, and ripen slowly, especially on a sativa leaner. If your fall fade is happening with healthy flowers present and ripening is happening on schedule, you arent using too much cal-mag.

In the zone, If you want more Amber let It go for a week like you mentioned aboveI appreciate the input. I've spent hours reading and researching and the only thing I know for sure is that when marijuana starts showing problems in the leaves, half the people will say it's too much nutrients and the other half will say it's not enough and figuring out what is actually wrong from pictures is nowhere near cut and dry.
I'll give this plant a few days, check trichomes again and post some updated pictures here. I think it's got a little further to go yet but I don't think it needs another 3-4 weeks to ripen.
Sounds like Kruger-Dunning effect on the other forum. You're in the harvest window most certainly, I like a bit more amber, but, that's just a personal preference. Give em the "habeus yankus" whenever you want.I appreciate the input guys, makes me feel a lot better!

ime theres more ways to grow a plant then to not grow plantI’ve seen alot of intimidating bro grow shit but anyone who wouldn’t smoke bud from that auto is just wrong.
Sometimes there’s more than one way to do a good thing
Thanks for the advice, I've waited this long so I don't want to blow it at the finish line by chopping too early. Seems like most people say to always wait until there's some amber showing. I don't really see any dark amber, but I do see some that are almost a faint yellow among the cloudy ones.if you whole plant hang it will still continue to ripen for several days keep that in mind. I would take the plant now but that's because I don't like the sleepy effects I get from later in the harvest window harvests. It also truly boils down to knowing the strain and running it several times and trying them at different harvest times. You'll find great difference in aromas and effects. Then u can chose the optimal harvest time for YOU
When it comes to the trichome observation method I do not subscribe to that anymore. Back when I did I found anything past all cloudy was just sleepy stuff.Thanks for the advice, I've waited this long so I don't want to blow it at the finish line by chopping too early.

The buds are fat and hard, the central "cola" stem is about 2 feet long, 10 inches around at the thickest part (which consists of several fat buds but looks like one "cola") The actual top cola is probably 7-8 inches long and the same around. I think it's a pretty impressive looking plant for an auto flower grown by a novice under a single 2,000 Spider Farmer light. Now that I found a couple seeds under a couple small lower buds I'm wondering if there could be more inside the big buds. On the bright side, I'm thinking the few seeds might be a gift for the future since they're obviously feminized and likely caused by stress, not a plant with a serious propensity to Hermie.
Who knew deciding when to harvest was going to be such a hard decision!
I don't think I've ever checked the trichs. I just go by when the pistols have receded back into the flower, they've quit packing on weight and not drinking much anymore.

I don’t want sleepy, but worse to me is that racy, paranoid, anxious stuff. That is what I definitely DON’T Want!I don't think I've ever checked the trichs.

Every time this plant’s pistils turn red it seems to throw out another batch. Hard to tell if it’s still bulking up but I think it is. Water use has dwindled from 2 days to 3 between waterings. This is how it looks today, with and without flash. And a couple trich pics.I don't think I've ever checked the trichs.
