I see a lot of posts regarding the "doneness" or ripeness of auto flowers.. I struggle with this also.
On my last auto I never got amber trichomes and the pistils were hard to read since it wasn't very hairy. The smoke turned out to be just okay.
Right now I have an auto that is 9 weeks old from seed. She is a real beauty,, Northern Light from Royal Queen. According to breeder this plant should be finished now or within the next week. Most of the hairs have turned from white to orange which is a good sign, no noticeable new pistils forming, no noticeable changes really, but there are definitely no amber trichiomes. I'm not even sure if I can tell the difference between cloudy and clear. To me they look frost white. According to my research many strains do not produce amber trichomes which would, to me, be the easiest way to judge when your plant is finished.
Do any experienced auto growers have closeups or any more tips?
Thanks for the help as always..

I spend so much time trying to get that damn lens in the right position. It's a juggling act
