Is this ready to harvest yet?

Hey hey
I am still pretty new to the indoors thing and last 2 cycles I have tried with the autoflower range (from elsewhere, cos ilgm doesn’t freight to my country anymore.)
Now my uncertainty on whether to finish a couple off very soon is because the plant/s are only 3 weeks into the flowering stage and two from 4 are from the same tent with all identical conditions but are only half way there which follows the recommended standard timeframes.
I just don’t want to let the ones in question go too far and start to thin out and spoil.
This first pic is a 5 1/2 weeks old from seed AK-47 auto, it began to show white tops at 2 1/2 weeks as did the other 3 but by the 3rd day showing it had ball the size of grapes.
It started changing to red over a week ago and now seems to have stopped advancing over the past few days.
Only noticeable change is in the leave size within the buds.
I’m fertilizing with normal a+b flowering, with additives phosphorus and potassium, mega ok
0-52-34, nitrogen booster 18-40-0 and a minute amount of marine Calmag.
With the EC of 2.8.
Should I change to a ripening nutrient mix of nitrogen now and hope it fluffs up a bit more?


Cheers Ken

What do you think?




I think I might cut a smaller one off and dry it gently overnight and have a try tomorrow Arvo

Do you have a loupe or microscope? I try to get this clarity:

I think my son has a good magnifying glass, I will borrow it tomorrow.
The better I look at it the more I think I should leave it, as there is only 60% of the white that has changed to red.
If they get too much heavier I will need to prop them up!

Go to Home DePot, and get some bamboo stakes. Like 10 6 footers for $7-10 and you can cut them to size.
