When to harvest ?

hey guys, on my fifth/sixth week of flower it's an auto flower. Creamatic royal queen, she got a nitrogen problem but I think there's enough green left to finish her how ever I have upped her nitrogen. Theoretically she should be harvested this weekend but but the hairs are 50/50 white and brown, the yellowing of the main cola is from the nitrogen difficienct I think. How long would You guys say she got left my plan is to feed for another week then flush for two weeks hopefully
These pictures are good enough for you to tell me an accurate answer. Btw it's my first grow so this is why I have no idea

Please wait! Be patient here, been there to. Just at a glance I can see they're not ready although they look really good you have more time yet. Don't be concerned with the leaves, nothing wrong with a few old ones dying. Flush? What's your medium?

Thank you, I'm willing to be pacient just worried I'll overshoot it trichomes look cloudy but I can't really tell without a magnifying glass. I'm using seedling soil so it's pretty organic I think no perlite but I been using nutes so I assume I need to flush her

Not for 2 weeks if no more than a few days. I grow soil with organic and never flushed once. Does that mean it's correct no, I've done it to some and not others and never noticed a difference. Don't worry about overshooting, you'd need another month easy because it will continue to pack it on. Why starve it flushing for 2 weeks at the most critical time? Unless you're using synthetic nutes

Looks great for first grow! I usually run out of N also, but your sugar leaves are also photosynthetic.. It'll be fine... Too much N is reported to slow bud development. You're doing a great job so far.

Keep her going. You will be glad you did. Keep the PK going also so she can fill out. When most of the pistils are orange and curled then you can consider harvest.

Supereyes Digital scope ($25 on amazon) is an awesome tool to have. It hooks via usb to a computer. Only then will you truly know the the of the trichomes are ready and that's what you are really harvesting.



I'd suggest to really read up on curing and harvesting. Create a nice drying environment and keep the temps and humidity in the proper range. This is crucial otherwise you will end up with something that smells like hay.

Best,
