When are they ready?

Hi everyone. Last year when we tried our autoflower seeds they were not super successful. We changed soil and tried again this year. Growing these lovely ladies outside again. My question is how do we know when it’s time to harvest? In these pics, am I waiting for the hairlike things at the top to curl over and turn brown? And all the little, white, tiny like bumps in the magnified picture should mostly be like an opaque clear color? Thank you for the advice! Tracy

Eight to 10 weeks after the start of flowering. Monitor trichome maturity and harvest when trichomes are to your individual taste.

Autos typically take 90-100 days from seed depending on strain and grow conditions.

:v:

Seed meaning when the plants first come out of the soil, not when we see the flowers on the adult plants, right? Just checking - total newb here, lol.

I believe he means 90 to 100 days from sprout.

8 - 10 weeks from start of flowering

Looking close, any way of looking at the Tricomes, that will be the tell tale

I use these for viewing.
USB Microscope or my new favorite, Coin viewer.




Yep have the handheld Microscope.
Works great

More time, your plants could have, IMO.
