OMG I gotta have it lol.My old ladys gonna kill me i keep ordering shit from amazon bc i got my prime trial right now. i have nutes smart pots extra lights and filters in the mail right now lol.

You'll like the usb scope. There are a few here that use them and reason why I got it as it makes it easy to check on them. I can get in and snap a bunch of pics then go through them or you can also set up in video mode. Plus using it for kids school and putting it on the tv so everyone can see what your looking at.

Yea i got a shit phone right now and i tried to use my little girls science set with the lens microscope but couldent get a focused look at them. Top bud looks like its just about there almost all the hairs have curled inward but the lower the buds go the less matured it gets. And right now everyday gives me alot more yield so im trying to decide the age old question yield Vs. Quality.

This is where im at right now shes got about 2 weeks left im thinking maybe less shes 60 days right now what u guys think?

Not much to add other than what others have said.
I only just learned to go by trichome development.
In the past, just pistils -- about 75-90% brown, and I'd cut.
It worked just fine.
As for your photo, she looks like she has another couple of weeks.
Though, I find that autos mature at the end different from many photos.
Tend to end quite suddenly.
Maybe my old photo plants were just more sativa, and continuing to flower.
If you don't want to spend $$ on a microscope,
and jewellers loupe is really cheap, just a few dollars.
Work just fine. I'm using a really old cheap one, and it's enough.

When to harvest is a topic that causes more worry than it should.
The fact that people even argue about it means that most methods work well, and it probably doesn't matter very much.

We are told that cloudy means head high, and amber means couchlock, but we're never told by HOW MUCH.

Consider this silly argument: If amber means 1% more couchlock than cloudy, but takes 2 more weeks, then why wouldn't everyone harvest when cloudy, even if they want couchlock?
And does the thc degradation product cbn really cause couchlock? Not in me, because I've over-decarbed on purpose to see what effect cbn has on me. It was insomnia and jitters, not couchlock.

More evidence that harvest time doesn't matter much:
I segregate less ripe, white haired popcorn buds from colas during harvest, and make edibles from both the popcorn and the main buds.
I can't tell much difference when using equal weights, which tells me that even unripe herb is pretty good.
