Can you upload some pictures? Also unless you know the seedbank wee won't be able to determine the breeders suggested harvest time.
 
i have a plant(unknown strain)
about 1 1/2 month old under two CFL's in a stealth growbox in my closet topped abot a week ago
i've had in on a 12/12 light schedule since i started it...my cousin told me to grow it that way...
it has 3 set of leaves...about 5-6 inches tall & has 4 leaves growing out of the main stem at the base of each set of leaves
any advice? suggestions ?

yep i would wait a little more....helps to check the trics with a microscope so you can see the changes from clear, white ...to amber. you can also pick off a couple nugs now, and then the rest a week from now.

def needs at least a week left... just by looks but can only tell true ripeness with scope...

try counting from the day it sprouts as day 1... so your more likely at week 6-7 days 40-50 and need to really wait the extra 10, 15, or even at extremes of sativa dominant autos 20 to even "super autos" (aka sativa dominant auto crosses) 50 days more...

give her about 10 or more days if you can wait... ;)

get an old CD player, playstation or something with a lense.. pop it out, stick with the smallest bit of selatape to your camera (ensure that the lens is not covered with the selatape.) take some pics close up to the buds, literally touching them. You will the have the ability to see the trichs.

because its 9 weeks nearly, i really wouldn't just hope that the trichs are not all orange. This could EASILY be the case.. so yeh go do some diy before you regret it (;

ya its got prolly closer to 2 weeks.A lot of ppl chop to early the last week they really swell up. the white changes to brown and receeds on to the bud.
 
I see most here seem to think around a week. My vote follows suit. I think I'd just give it some sweet water 'molasses' for another week. BTW thats a pretty flower you got there. I hope she smokes as good as she looks. The last few days before harvest are the hardest. Alot tend to cut alittle early. Good Luck
