Harvest & Curing I need to know. Is she ready?

[Lurch Vegas]

I germed this Cali snow auto on 1/4/18 along with 4 others. The others where replaced for what ever reason by beans I germed about 9 days later. . . My question is about my Cali snow girl tho. . . It's been 80 days or so now since germin her in the paper towel and then placed into a rw cube and then placed in the 6in net pot lids with clay pebbles. Growing using dwc/bubble buckets. . . I had a problem with heat for a week or so after changing over to the hps bulb.. ..and had some root slime issues n ph issues(went about 2wks with no meter) but all that aside I think it will turn out okay. Esp. For it being my very 1st grow. . . .Either way. I need to know. . . .is she ready to cut? Should I be flushing her with ph water only right now. .. I've been using the 3 part GH nutes ?? I presh8 any help.

It would be fortuitous to buy a usb cam, pocket scope or jewelers loupe to check trichomes. It really is the best method.

True indeed. It's def. On the things to buy next list. Thanks!

Leaves tell all on an auto i say she is so close it wouldnt matter. May leave in dark a day or so.

I've read that on numerous occasions. That the leaves are the tell tell sign of when auto are ready. . . .But how are the leaves supposed to look?. . . Also what does leaving it in the dark for a day or 2 do to the plant? Thanks for the reply too.

Leaves? I check trichomes by snipping a piece of bud, not leaves.

I had autos dying before and still no amber. Thats why i say leaves tell ya. When it looks like yours with the leaves falling off she is done.

It's really all a comfort zone thing anyway. Whatever works best for the individual.

Is it a comfort zone thing with autos only?
