New to autos and my question tho simple, likley will have many answers lol. I read seed to harvest avg 10-14 weeks, is that accurate? My 1st & only auto was critical purple from gcs, called for 11 weeks flower. I started counting weeks at 1st signs of flower, which puts me at week 10, but 14 from seed. Long story short(er), how do you count your autos weeks?

Don't chop based on the breeder's estimated harvest time. I have two autos from Barney's that are supposed to be chopped at day 70. Days 93 and 82 right now and still many white pistils on the buds. From my experience, most autos need at least 85days to chop.

7-10 days more probably. When all the hairs are amber and shriveled/contracted into the bud, you can harvest any time in my opinion. Having a jeweler's loup or a decent camera on your phone helps as well if you want to check on trichomes (on the calyxes, NOT on leaves). Good luck bro!

This....only I didn’t want to put days to it without knowing his setup.

Don't count anything. Too many variables effect when you should harvest. Let your plant tell you when it's ready by watching your tricomes. When 70-80% (on the flowers) are milky chop it down.
