First grow - RQS NL Auto

To me looks like the start of some spider mite damage.. are you seeing any almost microscopic bugs crawling around on the leaves or the underside of the leaves? any webbing show up? I'd take a look around and try to rule out pest damage if possible since your outside.. Hope this helps! Happy Growing.. 👊

Hey OT_Hawk, To me it looks like your plant could stand to grow some more. like another 2-3 weeks. But if you need to harvest because of the schedule, do what you have to do. I would try and get a look at your trichomes to indicate where it stands in terms of age, "cloudy, clear, amber" I tend to harvest my autos around 13 weeks, but every strain is different. I'm not a believer of flushing, but I do stop my feeding a week or two out from when I plan to harvest, gives it a chance to use up all the left over feed in the medium, I also do the two full days of darkness if it's in a tent, but if it's outdoors I dry it upside down in a dark room "whole plant" and trim after, I remove all the bigger and smaller fan leaves though, leave all the baby sugar leaves.
