How long until the harvest for this smaller Gorilla Auto 2? (photos with tricomes)

i'm not sure which of the 4 questions to answer... you have to learn what you prefer... trial and error. as long as it's fully fattened up, can't be too far off either way with basic common sense.

You still have a few days or weeks to wait, but you're close to the finish line. The exact timing of cannabis harvest depends on microscopic examination of the trichomes (glandular hairs). The plant is ripe when most of the trichomes are milky white, and a small number of them have turned amber. At this time, the active ingredient content is maximum. The harvesting, drying and ripening process is described below. Signs and timing of harvest are the color of the trichomes: Use a magnifying glass or microscope. Transparent is still immature, milky white is the peak state, and amber is a sign of overripeness. Bud filaments (pistils): 70 - 80% of the orange/brown filaments on the flowers have dried and shrunk, at which point you can definitely harvest. - growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-avoid-overripe-cannabis-buds - 2. Time Your Harvest Right Timing the harvest is key to getting the most out of your trichomes. Pay attention to their color because their color and opacity change when they mature. Noticing these changes will help you determine the plant's potency and effects. Clear trichomes This indicates that the plant is still immature. The buds aren't very potent at this point because the cannabinoid levels are not fully formed. In short, harvesting at this stage would be a waste of time and effort. Milky or cloudy trichomes This means that this plant is at its peak level of cannabinoid production and is perfect for individuals wanting the most potent psychoactive effects and balanced terpene profiles. The buds that are picked at this stage produce a more uplifting energizing effect. Amber trichomes When the trichomes are amber, it means that the THC is starting to break down into CBN, which is a sedative compound. When most of the trichomes become amber, the effects are typically heavier and more relaxing. This stage is ideal for sleep or stress relief strains. Here’s a tip: harvest right when your lights come on. Trichomes plump up overnight, and you’ll catch them at their best before any terpene evaporation starts later in the day. Harvesting as lights turn on ensures you capture these compounds before daytime heat and light interfere and degrade the terpenes. In addition, remember that the terpenes are delicate and evaporate pretty quickly under heat or when they are exposed to light for a long time. Thus, by harvesting early, you will retain them, which means the buds will be flavorful and aromatic, enhancing their overall quality. Regardless of how your plants grow, you have to get the harvest timing right or everything is simply a waste. As a general rule, harvest when 70-80% of the trichomes are cloudy and 15-30% are amber. For an even high, you want a combination of cloudy and amber trichomes. If you wait too long to harvest, the buds might become overripe and lose their flavor, smell, and potency as the terpenes and THC break down. Conversely, if you harvest when the trichomes are all clear, you'll end up with buds that won't perform according to your expectations. Also, get either a high-quality handheld magnifier or a digital microscope to closely inspect the trichomes and their maturity. Some growers choose to rely entirely on the color of the pistils to determine when to harvest, but it is not very scientific as the colors can also change according to environmental conditions and genetics. Keep track of your plant’s growth stages, so you know when to anticipate the right time for the trichomes. This is very helpful for new growers. Starting with these steps will set a solid foundation for dense, trichome-rich cannabis buds. Once you have these measures down, you’ll be well-prepared to move into more advanced techniques for boosting trichome production in your cannabis plant.

You're definitely in the harvest window! At 10 weeks, a Gorilla Auto is usually right at its peak. ​Looking at your photos, the trichomes are mostly cloudy/milky. A great indicator to confirm it's time to chop is her water intake: if she has significantly stopped drinking water over the past few days, her roots are shutting down and she's done. You can chop now for a nice balanced high, or wait 3-5 days if you want a bit more amber/body effect. Great job!

Hi Grower! Great pictures, a little longer, maybe a week or so. but you will want to try and do the microscope thingy -- otherwise use the phone on a 2 x zoom. but shes nearly good to go
