Day 65 (breeder says ready at 70-75 days) - is she ready to be chopped?

This is just my opinion on the issue and what I've been doing lately when it comes to autoflowers and the breeders harvest time: I dont even count veg as part of their "seed to harvest" bullshit.. I've noticed that when I do that, and just count the actual flowering weeks (also not preflower), that I usually end up right on the dot.. Some strains and phenos may take a couple weeks longer than others to begin flowering also.. So I dont see how they get their numbers. I had a strain that was 8-9 weeks from seed to harvest but didnt start to flower till week 5.. Pistils were still white as can be and calyxes were no where near matured whatsoever.. Not even 1 cloudy trichome!!! And that was week 8 from seed. So I kept checking the trichomes weekly and she ended up being ready to harvest at week 14 or so from seed.. So especially with autoflowers.. I would NEVER harvest when they say.. Now I just wait until I see that the trichomes are ready.. I still keep count, of course.. But have harvested an autoflower when the breeders say it would be ready.. It just doesn't make sense and I wish they would all fix that.. Some breeders tell it true.. But most don't. I just keep watching the pistils.. Once they seem to have mostly turned, that is when I start checking trichomes.. Just my 2 cents on the issue!

Taking into account the information provided below, you know that the buds get fatter near the end, its when they really blow up in size. So its not only these trichomes but also the new ones who will appear.

The weeks provided by breeders are the optimum, given the best possible conditions ever in a grow room. Light, nutrients, temperature, co2 intake and excellent care. Not to say a home grower cannot get to the same level of expertise, but you also have breeders that will false advertise less weeks than real. And you have one of the most accepted ways to test for maturity, peak trichome amber/cloud ratio. Meaning growers usually target a 30-70% amber/cloudy ratio, with none or very little clear trichomes. In any of the three scenarios you're still very off. Please give your plants the extra two or three weeks they really deserve to fully develop, you will definitely notice in the quality of the final product. As always, you can try just harvesting some buds that seem done by now, and the rest weeks later, and they will develop a little bit faster. Happy smokes!
