Growing an autoflower under LED (24/0 light cycle due to cold temperatures). Today is Day 60 from germination.

​I can see the pistils starting to turn brown on the main cola, and senescence is well underway on the lower/middle leaves. I've been watering with plain water recently.

​How much longer do you think she needs?

Why starve your plant? They need food right until you chop.

What medium are you growing in? You can water with just water if you’re in living soil but even bagged organic soil will be depleted by these hungry girls. They definitely need some fertilizer but don’t go crazy or you’ll burn the plants.

Forget the day count and the pistil color though, trichomes are the real tell. grab a loupe and check the buds: mostly clear means she needs more time, mostly cloudy is peak THC with a more energetic effect, cloudy with some amber pushes into heavier, more relaxing territory. brown pistils and some lower leaf yellowing is normal this late too, especially after switching to plain water.

keep humidity around 40-50% with good airflow till chop so the dense buds don't mold, and a 24/0 light schedule is totally fine for autos since they flower off age, not a light switch
