I HATE asking, but...

Could this be ready? I DO have a USB microscope due about Wednesday, and I left this girl out of the feeding roster 3 days ago, so am preparing to chop if it is ready. The triches are badly damaged (3 hard total BLASTINGS with a hose as preventative when found mites in garden) and I only have a hand-held loupe right now and my hands are not steady enough to really explore and come to a definitive conclution.

So...why am I asking? Well, this is a Super Cali Haze with a 100 to 120 day germ to harvest window (as reported by Short Stuff seed co.), and she is only 56 days old. WTF!?!? Also did snip a little cheater yesterday cuz I was out (and curious about her looking so done, and all) and quick dried over a light bulb....and I got to say it's FIRE for sure, can't WAIT till I cure the girl out and really TASTE her...anyway I'm just really confused. I am actually fairly sure that she is done, so I guess the proper Q 2 ask would be HOW is it she has finished so fast?

I doubt it's ready. That's a super-auto, sativa. They take forever.

And the buds look thin, like they haven't plumped out yet.

I would not chop until you check the trichomes, and even then, breeders usually like to give the fastest possible time a plant can finish, so I'd say their 100 day target is your minimum.

That's exactly what I thought, tho I don't necessarily agree they look plump to me, but I'm green still, this is only my second real grow and biggest attempt (6 gals total, this one's cousin included)...I was just also thinking, YNTF is she REFUSING to stretch!?! It has been almost 2 or more weeks since I have seen ANY attempt at reaching up a bit, if LST keeps things THAT small, maybe I reconsider doing it again....sorry blah blah...

LST is used to reduce height differences. It's usually used to make them shorter with a flat canopy. Indoors, you want wide and deep more than tall.

OK, but surely those buds will put on 2 to 4 more inches if she does go all 110+ days...?? Ah well, Just gotta wait and see...my first grow I grew one of these as well and a caterpillar/worm thing almost brought her to an early end but she mended and that was a lot shorter than these are supposed to get cuz of almost dying, but that cola was a good 10"+ foxtail albiet no LST...
