I planted a Train Wreck Auto some time ago. In three days, it'll be approximately 11 weeks old. Any educated guesses on the harvest window for this one? I have a jeweler's loupe, but it's a really crappy Chinese model with a field of view about the size of... Well, when I'm trying to use the <BLEEPing> thing, it seems like it's about one trichome wide :rolleyes3 - and everything other than the exact center of the lens is distorted. Not just spatially, colors are messed up, too (unless that's my eyes 
). By this, I mean that everything around the perimeter is almost amber-tinted! Considering that perimeter is like 99%, this thing sort of becomes useless for trying to determine the color of the heads. I can't even tell amber/non, let alone clear/cloudy with it.
So I might just end up guessing. Yeah... I know (doggone it). Still seems to be using water. Pistils... Had the odd colored one here and there, but they were mostly still viable(?) up until a week ago, when they started turning. Now, at a guess (I'm not counting pistils, lol), 30% to maybe 50% have turned color. But plant basically still seems to be going at it. Leaves are still green, but that doesn't really tell me much since I spiked the soil with Osmocote Plus and there may still be an excess of Nitrogen present (IDK).
I know, lots of factors influence an auto-flowering plant's "life expectancy," so I'm not going to end up with an exact, concrete number. But I'm hoping that a bunch of people have grown this strain and can remember the number of days their plant(s) took from sprouting / breaking ground to harvest.
It spent the first 60% of its life in an 18-ounce Solo cup and the time since in a two-liter bottle, or I'd think about taking samples at some point. But it's just so tiny, lol, that I could end up sampling it right down to the ground....
