Flowering time for Autos, new to autos

[ogkev]

New to autos and have a really quick question. I have 2 auto strains, MK Ultra and Northern Lights #5, which say that flowering time is 62-85 days. Does this mean that the whole grow is going to be between those days, or that the ladies are ready to harvest that amount of time after they enter flowering stage? Thanks in advance guys!

Hiya ogkev, I'd say the 85 days is a good assessment from seed to chop.
Some a little quicker and some a little longer. That's the beauty of autos.

That's the whole period, from seed/seedling to harvest. The Autos I mostly run have a stated flowering time of 75 days, but I find that they generally need to go for another 10 days (could be just this one seedbank being a bit optimistic).

Thanks for the heads up guys, always appreciated when it comes to help. When I get to around that 60 day mark, Ill make sure to start looking at the trics for cloudiness.
