New Grower need opinions....is this plant ready to harvest?? day 60

Can anybody explain why the leaves have got a purple tint to them??

It's probably genetics. The strain is that way. (The purple in the leaves)

Regarding harvesting, yellowing of the leaves is a nitrogen deficiency. Regarding what blue wrote about trichomes, it's not always that way with autoflowers, some don't display those characteristics.

I would add some nice heavy nitrogen nutrients and run this baby for at least 1-2 more weeks & flush for a further 1 week. You'll see a increase in yield by at least 30% - 50%.

I believe the chlorophyll (green) overpowers other pigment cells when its running full steam. Now that she is using stored energy and not photosynthesizing (end of her life cycle) the green goes away and the reds and yellows and browns and purples come through. Carotenoids are the redish colors and anthocyanin's are the purple hues and betacyanins etc. Its all natural. :2cents:
 
I would not add N to this lady this late in flower. Just let her fatten up a bit and chop! :2cents:
 
No way am I adding n notes Wats that guy been smoking?? They been getting big bud for the last 2/3 weeks and overdrive for the last week I think I'll start the flushing process tomorrow for a week or so

You could always push out more. Looks like you'll be getting an ounce or less.

That was just my opinion.

Actually, now looking at it from this perspective. It looks like it'll probably be over an ounce.

Nice plant, and excellent first grow.
