This Cafe Racer plant looks like she should be close to done. Being new I am not sure how close? Does anyone have any suggestions? One week? 2 weeks? Time to flush? Its been less than 60 days...

I have a general rule of thumb that 56 days is a good target number. So like day 45 of flower I start inspecting my tricromes. When you have 90-100 percent milky white tricomes you’re pretty much at peak potency. Once the tricromes start turning amber your potency is on the decline but your flavour profile increases during this time. So it’s also about personal preference as to when to harvest. So if you’re day 60 of flower I’d say you’re definitely in that window for harvest. So you have about a ten day window of when it’s acceptable to harvest. You have as early as possible peak potency and a little more mature less potent more flavour. But it’s always best to consult the Breeder’s flowering time recommendation to give you a better idea of when it’s right to harvest. I hope that answers your question. Plant is beautiful, enjoy your harvest 🤙

Correction if your whole plants life is 60 days from seed then no you’re not ready for harvest. I’m not sure if you meant 60 days from seed in your question. This is why I want to clarify. I’m talking about a 56 day flowering period. An autoflower typically goes for 11-13 weeks total (from seed) life span.

Hello there to know when harvest you need to use a magnifier to see your proportion of milky and amber trichomes. You need to have 30 % amber and 70 % milky but it depends on what you want. More amber trichomes more potency. So look at your trichomes then begin your flush if it is ready for you. Good luck. bye
