Wedding Cake Auto week 12 - partially outdoor, soil in fabric pots.
.. pls don’t mind the spidermite poop & hairs on the buds, I’ll clean them after harvest !

The plant was a little slower from the start, took much longer to get into flower than supposed and i had given her up at some point, but she turned out really nice (despite a little spidermite outbreak during the heatwave a week ago).

My issue is that she looks really ready to me, and can barely support the weight of her budds anymore (last pic) but her Trichomes seem to need more time: there’s already lots of amber and cloudy, but also lots of clear ones still … with other plants everything turned cloudy 1st, then the ambering started .. my thought was that because we had high temperatures until a few days ago, maybe she slowed her maturing a bit … but I have no idea how that would influence the harvest window.

Should I harvest now or give her more time?
There’s also the concern that it’s getting more rainy and windy rn and I fear that some branches might snap :/

Any help is appreciated !

I’m confused: she s a photo that has been growing since march - she should have reached marturity a while ago already but also would be way too early to flower in her own: where I live we get about 9 to 15h of daylight right now.
Maybe it’s cause the last weeks were surprisingly cold and dark? Does that mean she’ll abort flowering when it gets sunnier again?

Also if she’s flowering - can I still top her branches or is it too late for that already?

Dark Devil Auto - casual grow (partially indoors / partially balcony)

Her largest top budds and the trichomes (shitty pic but it’s 90% milky, with a few amber ones on sugar leaves) look more than ready, but there is still white hairs sprouting here and there -especially on the lower, more airy budds.
I’m also not used to a plant beeing in this good overall shape towards the end of flower. Usually the fan leaves would have been miscounted and dried up by now .. Maybe because I got better at feeding, maybe the plant just wants to keep going.

I was thinking about harvesting the largest and ripest budds this evening and then giving the rest a little bit more time..

any suggestions / opinions?
