looks great man, I enjoy looking at the time line type pics, especially when they are all in one post...
I can't believe how fast those things get ripe.

Yes these autoflower started flowering after just 2 weeks from germination! it was insane, and they have matured so quickly.

- Age: 40-41 days
- Age: 40-41 days
- Age: 40-41 days. Cola on the 3rd plant (slowest maturation) is catching up, and crystals are beginning to appear.
- Age: 40-41 days
- Age: 40-41 days
- Age: 40-41 days
- Age: 40-41 days Trichomes are filling in nicely.
- Age: 40-41 days. The tallest plant is forming bud in a nonstandard way. It has no main cola per say, but it has a large chunk of budding up top in a hammer shape, and scattered buds along its branches.

Hairs are beginning to turn from white to orange/red on the most mature plant (all same age, but maturation from autoflowering trait has progressed individually.). Expected ~4 weeks left till harvest.

Harvest Time! I examined my plants trichomes using a 30-100x scope to determine that 50% of the heads were cloudy and 50% were amber. Thus I decided to harvest 1 of the plants. I am letting the other plants go for 1-4 more days. depending.

59-60 days old. Tallest plant in back is harvested.
Resulting bud from 1 Plant.
Harvest results
After only 60 days from seed.

Any comments? Questions?
