Just another "is it time" thread. (I think it's close)

I think I have about a week.

This is a Gelato auto. The folks I got the seed from claim about 9 week flower time.
It was 9 weeks this past Thursday.... here is a close up of the best I can get with my camera.

To me they all seem milky but I don't see any amber trics yet so I am thinking about a week.... what do you think?

Pic of more of the plant would help confirm. From that one, maybe. Does the whole plant look like that?

Yeah pretty much, it's not a huge plant, it's one of the smaller autos, maybe 14 inches tall from base to the top. It's basically one big bud for about 12 of those inches and the side branches and those buds all look similar except some of the lowers still has some of the lighter stigmas and as you can see none of them has started to recede yet. The bud you are looking at is the main top but like I said...it's like 10 maybe 12 inches long and everything is turning purple while the leaves are pretty much turning gold now.

Need to see the whole plant to really say. Is this 9 weeks from seed or nine weeks since your auto started flowering? Have you been tapering off nutrients?

It's very close you could harvest now but I would wait I look at the whole plants structure how swollen the calyx are, amount of fade and of course tricomes. My autos usually take 90 plus days before I even think about looking at the trics. This bruce banner auto is currently 13 weeks from sprout most tricomes milky with a few amber starting to show I'll give it a another 2 weeks because that milky colour will start to take on a almost salt like off white plastic look to them. And those pistils will nearly all be orange and receeded

These strawberry cheese autoflowers went 15 weeks from sprout and if you look at the structure of the calyx the lack of white pistils and the amount of senecence they are clearly ready. These 2 were grown in different mediums plant on the left was in 70/30 coco/perlite plant on the right a peat based medium.The tricomes were salt milky and about 10 % percent amber. Popular belief is that some autos don't amber I'm not sure if that's correct but I have noticed my photo periods will express more amber when left to mature properly. Give it more time you will be pleasantly suprised

Yes it's a very exciting time isnt it! So easy to chop early and start the next batch.
