Autoflower white widow XXL at day 93 from seed. When do you think I should harvest in a week or two or longer?? Any suggestions on when?

When it is ripe.. JK 3-4 weeks? i see a lot of 'long' pistils, so the calyxes have not fully ripened/fattened up around them, yet. Once the plant has fully fattened up, then you can start to scope those trichomes. Lots of different suggestiosn in regard to that. Personal preference is a huge part of it. 10% amber? 70% amber? whatever you want. Do scope multiple locations - not just top colas but mid level and lower buds too. it's as much art as science due to this averaging out of what you see across the plant(s). if not familiar can pull buds off early or leaves some to ripen a bit longer, while taking the bulk at what you think is your prefered point. Learn what you like best in 1 grow instead of several grows over a long period of time. 2 weeks isn't out of the question. some plants do ripen/fatten up faster than others. But the trichoems are your guide. Don't worry about estimating the length. just put your head down, scope the trichomes and react when appropriate.

Pistils are a great indicator of what the plant is doing on a normal flower with no fox tailing. Yours is fox tailing a bit, so you need to look at the older flower, which is what makes up the bulk of your bud. Looking at some of the buds I'd probably give them another 2 weeks.

There a few answers that said you should look for the hairs (pistils). That is not true... i´ve seen strains that had no white pistils an still needed time and vice versa. Trichromes are the mark when to harvest.

Hey BigDawg127, they look like they´re not far away from harvest. Best way to see this is with a microscope, anything around 70-200 increase should do the job, to see the trichromes of your plant. I´ve bought a clip-microscope for 20bugs for my smartphone. When you can see the trichromes, you can determine what type of effect you want to have. The trichromes start with clear, glassy style, then milky and at least amber colored. Each variant has it´s own benefits but i would say (at least in my opinion) most strains have their best potential when 1/4 or 1/3 is amber and the rest milky. But try it best for your own and experiment a bit to see what you like the most.

I agree with the others, they're still fattening I think. What do you think about some careful LST to get those branches and buds apart from each other. At least a little, there's not a lot of airflow. I'm mold traumatised 😅

not even close to ready 2-3 weeks minimum theres still white pistols coming out of it....then you got to weight for the tricholmes to ripen and go milky or amber id say 3 weeks...maybe 4 tops
