@Mr Nice They are definitely auto's mate, as I said before I keep them on 24 hours light so they must be ;o)

They are in final two weeks of flushing at the minute mate and according to the Growers Choice description they are "11- 12 weeks" strain and I am on week 14 at the min but I count from the day the seeds first show tap root so the timescales may not be the same? I dunno but they look about right to me so another week of flushing they should be 'cooked enough' ;o)

We can get swept away by our thoughts,,or learn to step back and see them with clarity.

Fuck the Manual! We are men, we shouldn't even be reading the fucking manual mate.

They are still producing bud and no amber trics yet so I think I am on track to chop them either this weekend or next depending on how they look etc. Hydro will start a flush in a couple of days but only really needs a few days to flush being in hydro and the others are starting week two flush soon and I only really think they need a week but trying to push them as a test.

I am nearly out of smoke so I should be chopping them now but fuck it - rather buy some street weed for a couple of weeks and learn from pushing these past the recommend use by date ;o)

I don't think they can be 'dead on' mate. Surely the medium, nutrients feed etc can all have a play in how long the plant is happy to grow etc. For example your growing in soil vs myself growing in hydro, coco, and perlite. I personally don't know enough about the plants life cycles but I would guess being an Auto they can't really 'stamp' a date on the life as the 'end of life' flowering cycle is the only one determined by the plant no? i.e. if it wasn't an Auto you could veg it for months. So the 'guesstimate' timeline must be heavily based on flowering time and so they want to keep this as short as possible with an Auto but what are they comparing against?

For mine I checked flowering times against the feminised variety and then started an 8-9 week timescale from that which leaves me at week 14 since germination but only week 8 since flowering (based on first sign of pistols).

Obviously I am a Noob and this is only my 2nd grow but that is mostly why I am trying it ;o) I luckily have the hydro which is at least a week behind the other two so when chop comes I should be able to test the difference a week makes at least?
