Well from what the breeder says she is a 10 week auto, so from seed she should be done at 10 weeks. So i would say your looking to be in the last 2 or 3 weeks. We have to remember though that it is not an exact science for when they will be done. I would just keep an eye on her and chop her when you feel she is done.
I am taking my 90 day auto to 100 or 110 because of stress during pre flower.
Hope this helps!! Stay green my friend!

HAHAHA I know what you mean. Once you get them into flower, its like an addiction to grow some more and get them to flower. Those close ups should be pretty awesome. I have a jewelers loupe to get some nice close ups, buts nothing like the macros you get with a usb microscope. Cant wait to see em!!!!!!!

And not trying to be mister know-it-all, but just so you know you will be looking for the Trichomes, the tiny mushroom shaped glands that contain the most THC. They will start off clear, then turn to a cloudy white, and finally finish an amber or other color. The pistils, the white and orange hairs you can see with out the microscope will always start off white, then as that individual calyx matures and swells, the pistil turn an orange, yellow, red, etc. This can some what tell you the maturity of a particular bud, but not for the whole plant. I have seen plants with all orange pistils shoot out a whole new bunch of white hairs in the last weeks before harvest.
Hope this clears some stuff up for you. Just a little Marijuana Botany 101
