The Pots have dried out, and the nutrients were extracted out of the soil by the plants.
You can see this through the yellowing leaves.
All the pistels are nice and brow and like 10% of the trichomes started to turn amber.
For me that is the point of harvest. Also the terps are at the peak of their smell production.
Was please with how the plant was trained loads of branches filled with bud, Not all of them are dense and firm. but will be enjoyable to smoke for sure.
If i wanted to the plant to be filled with dense buds, I has to remove more leaves to be sure the light penetrated deeply.
Also the terps on this plant really reminds us of the Purple Haze combined with some fruity sweets.
Really a lovely smell come of these ladies.
Next week will have the harvest report and some hash making from the plant material.
Green greetings!
They look great. Wouldn't even consider harvesting them currently, wouldn't consider stressing them either. I swear, if you harvest that stuff in a week, I write you off too.
A friend of mine has very similar looking autoflower indica-like plants, so I'll be checking this out. I'll try upload some pictures of his plants soon (older than yours, much bulkier/larger, incredibly saturated, outdoors but in a 20l pot).
Don't harvest too early dude, patience is key (check my diary), you could get double the yield and potency (not just THC, but CBD and CBN and the other 70 or so cannabinoids too...) with a bit of extra waiting time relative to your current growing time. I have some pink/red pistil plants too (though not autoflowers, they are monstrous. Check out #24 for a panama-like pink pistil plant).
The cover pic for my diary is from a panama-like pink pistil plant, the density is insane.
Here are some pics of it:

Not kidding, those branches alone probably weigh close to 500-1000g.
Good luck...patience is a virtue.
I added seedlings into 3 gallon containers treated with everything in the biotabs starter kit (except orgatrex) and my autos got extremely burned. 50/perlite/50soil, I think the fact my seedlings only we’re just showing their true leaves combined with a bit of overwatering in week 2 is the cause. Would orgatex have helped buffer? Any insight?
@CRiSPrGrow, yes for sure will use the autopot system again. am totally hooked on the system.
The biotabs will work fine with out the system.
It is just super handy combining them, because the growing/ flowering will get worry free ;)
Good luck with your grow amigo!
