The best way to tell when to harvest is by looking at the trichomes with a loupe/magnifier. Milky white at a minimum, some amber is typically preferred. Also, you should see the white hairs curl in to the buds and change to a orange/brown color. I like to start seeing the fan leaves changing to yellow too. The curling of the leaves in your pics is whatβs commonly known as βthe clawβ. This indicates too much nitrogen and will also slow down your time to harvest. The dark green leaves also indicate too much nitrogen. Iβd suggest backing down on the nutrients or feeding straight water for a while. One more thing, in my experience autos always take at least a week or two longer than the breeder advertises before they are really ready for harvest. If the plant has been stressed at all it can be an extra month. The bud development is looking very nice. However, growing is all about patience. Giving her more time will pay off in the end.
