When to harvest short rider

I check them all too much..lol...I disregard the popcorn down low. The one plant is way ahead of the rest. I broke a lower branch with a dinky bud when watering...microwaved and smoke it. It was a high strung buzz for me so I'll wait for the still absent amber on the rest. I have Northern Lights and AK 48 photo period over vegged on either side, so I think I'll switch to 12/12 and these Short Riders will get done someday. I'm smokeless and figured I'd be puffing on these suckers by now. Thanks for everyone's comments!
I would those ak-48 stretch like a mother fucker when they start to flower

3-4 weeks easy . Pistils are still white , not receding either. Good looking sugar but buds will fatten up in next couple weeks . Breeding estimates are only guides to ACTUAL time to harvest. Most of my autos go from Day 73 up to 84. Depends on pheno of plant , sativas like longer flowering.

The Breeder packs show such short times BASED ON OPTIMAL GROWING CONDITIONS ( i.e Lab Grow or Controlled Breeder grows to study the genetics ).
Autos can benefit from longer grow times. They mostly can finish with 90 days , but there are SUPERAUTOS with size and other genetic differences bred into it.

They look like some good flowers and i would wait for proper ripeness.
As it ages , it will start to show yellow leaves and drop off ( its NOT a deficiency , its the sign showing the end of its life. ) Pistils will turn and recede , calyxes will swell .

Well, I took the smallest one simply because I want some smoke. I'll let the other 4 do their deal. Strangest thing, though, all of a sudden...no pot odor... Like flipping the odor switch to off. These never have been very stinky. I have a couple ozone generators for odor control but have never even turned them on. I thought odor was supposed to be most intense towards harvest time. What's up with that?

Are you flishing
Bro, stop handing out advise.

You claim you grow shit and know things but you just spit out what you have read.

What happened to your cheese autos?

Do you now understand ppm?

Op, don't listen to this sham artist. 70% Amber. This dude is a troll.

If you look at all his threads, he ask very basic questions, which lets me know this dude be talking out his neck.

Amber is thc that degraded to cbn. You don't want all that Amber. Amber means that thc production is slowing down.

Do we grow for cbn or thc?

If you want to get high wait until they are mostly cloudy, a few clear and a few Amber. This will be the peak of thc production and is the best time for harvest.

That bullshit if you want head high harvest sooner, more couch lock harvest later is bull shit.

Want head high? Grow sativas

Want couchlock? Grow indicas.
