Hi sown, if I look at the Pictures i would say 4 more weeks for her, hairs are white, leaves are green and the Buds will get much bigger than now. Be patient. The yield will double from now on if you wait 4 more weeks. How to see it the others explained already. You can give Blackstapmolasses in the water for the microbacterial Life in your Soil. See you next week

You got yourself a kick ass plant there , I would say you got atleast another 2 weeks to go tho before you can harvest this young lady . The reason i say that is because your still have an abundance of white hairs coming out your flowers which leads me to believe that you still need abit of time . Usually an auto flower strain flowers from 6-9 weeks depending on the strain . most of the time it ends up being around 7 . I would start slowing down on the amount of nutrient feeding you're doing and just start feeding with PH corrected water . You can also buy a portable micro scope from your local hydroponics store or amazon even for like 10 $ ( https://www.amazon.ca/Carson-60X-120X-Lighted-Pocket-Microscope/dp/B00LAX52IQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542978980&sr=8-3&keywords=portable+microscope ) This will help you see if your trichomes are clear/milky/amber and will also help you determine when the time is right to harvest . Like I said your a couple weeks out for sure still so you might wanna consider slowing down on your nutrients and getting ready for your flush . I hope this information serves you well on your journey to the finish line! -Happy Growing!

Hello @sown420 ! If you want to know for sure you need to check the trichomes with a microscope like this one ( https://www.amazon.com/Forrader-Pocket-Microscope-Currency-Detector/dp/B00JEKXBQ2 ). Start flushing when you see the first amber trichomes and harvest when the trichomes are 80% milky-20% amber for a head high or 80% amber-20% milky for a body stone feeling. Personally if i didn't had a microscope i would start flushing next week and harvest in about 2-3 weeks. Happy growing !👊

All about the trichomes man. I've grew about 10 autos over a couple years. I'd say you have atleast 2-3weeks left when you have more brown hairs than white id start the flush

Very nice plant. The first advice I can give you is to stop all nutrients at this point. There are a few tells that show that the plant is ready for harvest: the pistils (hairs) retract and turn yellow or red; the calyxes swell (the calyxes looks like little balls on the buds and are where seeds would form should you pollinate the flowers). From your pictures, I would say a week, maybe 2. Of course a jewelers loupe or handheld microscope would be ideal to check thricomes maturity.
