Based on the pics I say put down the ax and walk away. Still have some time left. 3 or more weeks possibly. Time to start prepping your area for harvest, but no cutting yet. Start watching your trichs too. How long have they been in flower? Looks like a couple to 3 weeks along

Like Grump said I personally wouldnt harvest yet.

It still will gain lots of weight and be awesome bud if you do wait.

But I have to say nice healthy lookin plant that you have their sir.

Thanks.. Its a lowlife autoberry.. It said 60 days from seed and its an autoflowering plant so I dont think the yield is supposed to be enourmous... Its been 60 days..

i'd estimate 3-4 weeks left. Looking fairly good but its got quite a bit more filling in to do. harvesting too early can really fuck up your yeild bad as its the last few weeks the buds bulk up and add most of their bud density/mass so be careful to make sure its done.

has it been 60 days from switch to 12/12 or 60 days from when the first pistils started showing??

I'm with darkdestruction on this, got a good few weeks left in her, she looks like she is still putting out new stigma's. When the stigmas start to reced the calyxes swell up and they grow over the hairs. This is when to harvest imo, I think a lot of people see an Amber trichome and think they got to pull there plant down, the last week or so is when the plant puts serious weight on. I had it with my outdoor this year, checking it seeing Amber, and another more experienced outdoor grower said, don't worry, it's normal, they get a bit more damaged and as such the damaged trichs go amber coloured. Not being an auto grower myself I wouldnt say 100% but I am sure it's basically the same with autos as far as finishing the plant off. Good luck, be patient and you will be rewarded with an extra 25%.

Peace, DST

With seed stock the pheno types based on the environment they are placed in will vary heavily I think. A lot of indoors grows can even have varying micro climates which will bring out different phenotypes. I wouldn't put much weight in counting number of flower days, it's really just a rough indication, and sometimes a very rough one. I guess with autos it can vary a great deal.

It's always interesting to hear peoples thought on counting flower days

has it been 60 days from switch to 12/12 or 60 days from when the first pistils started showing??

its an autoflowering so its been on a 20/4 schedule all the way.. they are supposed to be on 24 hrs but I chose to give a little bit of darkness.

From what I understand auto's are made using ruderallis genetics, even those plants naturally get dark periods, so what is the benefit of running a plant with 24 hours of light? Seems crazy, (sorry, I know this is not a debate about autos).

Well I have heard but its not for sure.

That plants that are growin under 24/0 light schedule grow up to 30% faster.

It was in a george cervantez book and he had cited that he had heard that, but it wasnt scientifically proven.
