i think there dead on with the timing seed to harvest 11 to 12 weeks after that its up to you how you like ya weed...
I have found I like a bit more amber trics now
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?
Ill get back to ya............ so stoned brains just about ticking lol
I have also immortalized you in a pic of mine..........

Choice description they are "11- 12.............. from seed to harvest 11 to 12 weeks minty
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)
You’ll find that some autos won’t amber up much

This cracked me up especially when you come back with a girlie graph showing every day, when it finishes, when it starts couldn't be less manly
Also @Minty you think yours started flowering at week 8-9?!? That unheard of for an Auto you're looking between 21-30ish days!
I didn't say they started flowering at week 8 I said they are currently in week 8 of flower I also don't remember seeing any graphs 'girlie' or otherwise?

Apologies I misread it, but still 6 weeks is long!
Yea, I guess I could knock a week off to account for the seedling stage as I counted from the time they went into the glass etc. but still a long time even with that adjustment. I have no idea but they are still growing buds and no amber trics so I just assumed she had longer to go. They have been flushing for a week so I might just chop them this weekend as I need the space for @Dex Animal Cookies anyway and I am shortly about to run out of smoke ;o)

Ill think ill add to this you can see the first start of flower on wk 4 Mr Minty
How old are yours out of interest mate?
The growers choice site states 11 to 12 weeks so with the adjustment of a week at the start that makes me about one week over the 'recommend' time which I guess is not too far out... Do you think they would take longer because they have been on 24 hour light?

I would think shorter than with 24/0 light, I had mine on 20/4, 2 had orange pistols and one none, I chopped mine at end of 13weeks
