This will be my first harvest. My girls are a Nirvana NL auto and a Barney's PE auto. They are 60 days from seed today. I have a pic of each where I put my phone camera up against the 45x loupe, it's not a great shot and I'm not sure if anyone will be able to tell anything, but I'd like some input. I'm thinking a couple more weeks, maybe 3-4. The first 3 pics will be the northern lights and the next set of 3 will be the pineapple express. Thanks for looking and for the input! I've gotten a lot of info from everyone here so far.

Looks like she could be done. When you look at them with the scope what do you see? Notice on the pic of trichs above how they are swollen and bent over, if you see a lot of that and a smattering of amber you are ready to harvest. I would think you would be about ready this weekend or next.

Thanks! I believe I'm going to water them one more time, then let em dry out and harvest next Friday, if I can see any amber. What ya think? Also, when the amber first starts appearing, how long until it's spread? I know that a lot of people say that you don't want to wait until you have too much amber.

Amber is tricky IMO,particularly when you are starting out and trying to gauge how much you have. I like to go by cloudy, If all of the external signs are there (swollen calyx, receded pistils) then I like to shoot for 70-80% cloudy. Other people will say pull based on if you want couch lock or head high, I don't know if I can buy into that, I say pick a strain for couch lock/head high.

Any guidance would be a great help. Started flowing (clear signs of pistil growth) around 51 days ago, photo period changed to 12/12 arounda week earlier.

Not sure whether strains are accurate, but suposedly these are Afghan plants, except the first one is a "hybrid":

According to breeder (buy dutch seeds) the Afghans mature early, around 7 weeks, which past a couple days ago.

Thanks.

Forgot to specify which plant is which in the group shots:

Hybrid: bottom left

Afghan 1: right side [single cola]

Afghan 2: back, center [single cola]

Afghan 3: left, top left[4-cola topped, only 2 tops are visible]

These afghans has a growth spurt, a few inches new stem grew from main colas, and growth there is less dense, a little stringy looking.
