Ripen - yes or not, when to start?

Looking great bud!! Do you have a small handheld microscope about 100x magnification? That would be the best and cheapest way to view the trichomes and see if they are cloudy or amber. This is the most reliable way to tell when they are done. I've had Auto strains go 15 weeks before (Flowering for 9 weeks). If I chopped at 63 days like the estimated flower time listed from Seedsman, that would have been way too early. Nice job so far!
