When to Harvest - Autoflower Strains Onyx and Blue Himalaya

[Pop Kulture]

Day 63 from germination - I planted two autoflowering strains (ONYX and Blue Himalaya) and the following pics are how they stand today. Any suggestions as to how and when to complete the grow for these two? I know you should refrain from ferts during the last two weeks and perhaps a flush, but I can't tell when to start the two week clock. Any ideas from these photos?

ONYX

Any thoughts? I have read all the links I could find but none really indicate when to start the two weeks with flush and no ferts. I don't see any amber in these pics but maybe I am missing something.

Hey Pop,

Your fourth picture is where you want to look. Try to get this close and in focus. I couldn't tell by your pics, as the one I would look at is not in focus. The tricomes start out clear, then slowly start to cloud up.

I don't see any amber in my grows, until the tricomes are around 60% cloudy. After that the amber ones will start showing up. I start flushing when I see about 5 to 10 % amber.

Thanks PrairiePoet. My next question is somewhat stupid, but when you say 60% cloudy and 5%-10% amber do you mean each individual tric is 60% cloudy or 5-10% amber, or do mean of the total trics it looks like 60% are cloudy or 5-10% amber? I am assuming it is of the total, but I am not sure.

Yeah, the camera focus is very limited at that range. It's automatic and of poor quality.

Hey Pop,

The amount is for total percentage.

Hey Pop,

Makes sense -

Thanks - I figure two weeks or so and they should be finished.

You're looking good. I think you are spot on with the timing.

I'm at 10 weeks flowering with this showing:

and close ups....

Don't know what this is but I thought of the The Pearl - Ode to Brian Eno

Harvest time is soon!

I am in the same boat. AF Plants are at 60 days and 32" tall from soil to top of highest bud. This my first grow. When do I start the 2 weeks flush cycle?? What is the best way to harvest? Can really use the help!!
