She's looking fine, and actually still stacking on those buds...maybe another week?

I'd say at least a week but different strains mature at different rates. I've had some look like this one day and a week later be ready for harvest, and I've had some strains look like this and just keep shooting out new growth for many weeks after (usually the more sativa dominant strains). Have you checked the trichomes? What effect are you hoping to get (energetic, sleepy, etc.)?

Gonna check the trichomes when lights come on in a bit. I prefer the more energetic type of high, so I don't want her to go too long.

I'm thinking you should cut it down, dry it out enough to smoke, and meet me at my house. No, but on the serious side, It don't look ready, to me.

Well I guess she's staying, just gonna give her lots of fresh water from here on out....ran 3 gallons through her last night. She seems to be dropping almost 2 pounds of weight every 24 hours.

She is a nice "early" smoke...the test bud I took off was fire! Can't wait to dry and cure it....

I agree with everyone else, ask that question again next weekend - with a nice bud closeup.

I like to look at trichomes on the second tier of buds as well as the top colas. I like to wait for the second tier to be also ready for harvest.

I took a look at the trichomes last night. The top buds are 90% milky with a few clear.

The mid to bottom buds have about 75% milky. Would another week be too long for the top buds or would that be about perfect? I'm thinking next Sunday.

That is further along than I thought from the pistils !

My wife's preference is when I harvest about 75% milky. Most folks here like at least some amber.

That's harvest time for me, allowing that the plant itself looks like it's ready to harvest.. I think next Sunday will be perfect..
 
She looks like a great gift.:cheertwo:

Those autoflowers grow fast, don't they?

Yeah, they do....hopefully I'll be able to grow these a bit bigger and get more off of them.

Patti will be harvested this weekend, leaving Cindy all alone (she actually is gaining a bit of weight) for a couple of weeks....

I plan on putting these babies in 3 gallon pots and will drop another couple when Cindy is done.

Thanks, man!:thumb: She is a beauty for sure. This plant gave me NO problems whatsoever....the C99 looks skinny and showed signs of deficiency, put the Pineapple Chunk never showed any major problems, adjusted well to being transplanted, topped, supercropped, etc.

Just so I know, what types of problems can they sometimes give?

:Namaste:

problem #1 is you can't grow this strain in a 7 ft. Tent, without a lot of attention to keeping her tied down. This strain I have is the fasting growing I've ever grown. And it's not a big yielder. I'll take a plant that produces well and grows a shorter stance. But then I think about great this high is, and I just keep growing it . Ha !! But lots of other people have had problems with them taking much longer to finish, than the advertised 53days, some 11 or 12wks.
I got 5 " 2 days into 12/12, and more clones coming !! Can you post pics. Of trichomes ??

Yeah this C99 was very fast growing, and kept right on growing about 4-5 inches from the lights. The buds are starting to fatten up a little bit and I took some leaves off this morning...

I like the smoke of sativas, but find that indicas are shorter and more "manageable"...maybe I can try some hybrids that grow shorter?

I'm fine with the c99 going a bit longer, but the Pineapple Chunk is coming down this weekend. I have two autos a week old, and will drop 2 more once the c99 gets chopped.

Can't really post pics of trichomes, I have a handheld microscope but can't use it with my phone..
