rzza thank you... So will the hairs like curl up when its ready... i looked under a scope just for S's&G's and everything is milky with the exception of a few still "clear" trics... the hairs however are predominately white still... An old experienced mad who I get most of my growing info from also told me to go by the hairs... I just dont know what Im looking for, he said wait til about 80% amber hairs and swelled calyxes (what is a swelled calyx???) and he said you will know when it looks "ready" to smoke..... Ive always cut to early and I wanna do this on right. help is much appreciated/

hes right you will know when its ready by looking with your naked eye.

the buds turn slightly amber in color. note that i said buds not trichs. the calyx will swell. very few hairs will be visible. and if you still take out the scope, everything will be amber and milky.

The calyx is the kind of "domed" shaped part that the "hair" goes into, where, if pollinated, the seeds would be. Take pictures in the last few weeks and you will be able to tell the difference for sure.

3 Days away from 8 weeks... can autoflowers go longer than 8 weeks cause Im still mostly white hairs and cloudy trics..... is the fact that its a "white widow" cross change anything about its appearance when complete?

second what rzza said. patience is going to be key here! but you will be happier with the outcome both in yield and quality of smoke.

Bahaha have got to love that part though!
Have you considered a DIY carbon scrubber or ozone genny? If the smell is a concern that is.

I totally agree with you rzza. I harvest when it just looks done. Your avatar is a good example, that bud looks ready. Has always worked for me.

Put it under 600w MH for the remainder of its life... next to a lemon mother and a rocklock seedling. The HPS is on 12/12 and I been flowing this one 18/6 so I threw it under the MH
