Confused about harvesting this one.. Experimental hybrid... HELP!!!

Ok, so I had no problems harvesting last time I grew (2 or 3 years ago), but then I used some of those plants to make a hybrid. (You can read about it in my other threads). It is Buddha White Dwarf autoflower X White Rhino (most probably...something in that family, maybe White Pearl someone said).

The plant took on the autflowering genetics/phenotype, but as we all know, nature has a funny way of mixing genetics, and things can get unpredictable.

Here is how the plant grew: Germination.... grew slowly but very healthy. I was expecting a short plant, seeing as it's parents were not so tall. Didn't expect autoflower. At one month, it began flowering... now it is 1.5 months (maybe a week more), and it looks like it does in the pics.

I want to know: Should I wait a little longer to let it grow some more, and create more buds? Or is that it? Won't grow anymore in terms of flowering? It is on my balcony, growing outdoors, and I know that the amount of light is not that important, seeing as it is an autoflowering plant. It gets about 8-10 hours a day out there (direct sunlight...unfortunately, the architecture of my building blocks the morning light - until about 11-noon), I should probably keep it under a light inside for the morning, but the pot is heavy as f*ck haha.

Anyway, if you guys can give me any tips, based on the pics, let me know.

There are 4 pics of the plant, and 1 pic of how the smallest parent looked like right before harvest.

IF YOU NEED MORE PICS TO HELP ME, JUST POST IN THIS THREAD AND SAY SO!

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I AM SO CONFUZZLED BY THIS HYBRID!!! It's like that damn Splice movie...result was so unexpected!

You guys always pull through and help me!

Anyone? This is sort of a pressing matter for me...leaving on vacation for 10 days. I have someone who will water the plant for me, but they know nothing of how to harvest or look for things in it that indicate it's time to flush, etc. So please let me know!

better start to dry and cure that for vacation that way you know you will have great smoke maybe not excellent but great will do just fine, if you let a noobe do it it might go past peek then you will have POOP

Really? you think I should take it down/hack it down now? There are still tons of white flowers, not that many brown, and according to this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/28072-harvest-time-tutorial.html They don't seem there yet. I think when I get back, they will be done, and ideal. However, I am looking fo rinput, so you may be right. If anything, I can have someone here who can cut them down for me, no prob.

Looks like you probably got a couple weeks to me.

hahhaha that's what I am hoping for!

Just be sure that you can rely on your buddy to water properly! It would be a shame to lose it now!

Let's just say my buddy is 3 times my age, I live with him, and he raised me...I am pretty sure I can trust him haha. lol

PS You're in Florida huh? How is the growing down there? I am going to be there soon visiting my uncle.

Alright, so I got back from my vacation today. My plant is healthy (it was well taken care of during my absence), and this is what it looks like now (See attached pic). I am going to wait a little longer with it, since it doesn't look done quite yet.

Let me know what you think? Please!
