Part of it depends on what kind of high you like. If you're going to wake and bake and get stuff done, take it down a little earlier. If it's your end of day smoke when you want to veg in front of the tv, let it go longer. Just a thought.

That is a very beautiful plant! You know I always have that question. I don't know why I ask it? So if it's not right I can say somebody else told me to do it?.. probably. Anyway that aside my experience is that autoflowers do not Amber out like photos. I think it's a genetic jacking with. I had the most beautiful plant I ever grew, like the one you have (beautiful) I asked that question I'm not going to tell you what the answer I received most was, but I let it go to get more Amber, and you know what came downstairs one day and all of my trikes lost half of their girth, height, liquid weight. And I waited that one day too long. And the trichomes had no color change from the day before. It's your study go ahead and clip a flower, quick dry it and try it out the quick dry isn't going to do it any justice at all taste flavor Etc etcetera wise but you will get a good idea of where it's at and where you want to go with it. I actually take mine down in stages you're not going to hurt it I don't think? Take a look at this you can tell there's plenty of stems missing and the plant is more than fine LOL. Have a good day I hope I helped.20210724_124428.jpg

Maybe a few leaves would help your plant limp to harvest? Autos arent a special case, maturity is determined the same.

On harvesting time preference....feedback from those I gift with my overages is: Most prefer a cloudy tric harvest...very little amber.
Personally I keep a jar of 'wake-up' (lil early), jar of 'cruising' (cloudy tric) and a jar of 'knock my ass out' or pain relief ( lots amber).
Old potheads usually prefer the latter.

Weeks ( there is no definitive answer ) - plants finishes when it finishes.

Breeder harvest “ estimates “ in both yield and harvest time are subjective - maybe based on their optimized test grow environment
or just straight bullshit. Forget any so called “ 8 week “ strains - run them bitches til wheels fall off .

You will squeeze every bit of goodies out of it if just grow it - let it fatten , pistil recede , harden off ( peak maturity )
Forget that lame - checking for amber shit - triches peak and decay . Some strains don’t really amber until plant is dead.
Eventually , you will judge a harvest ready bud - auto or photo - by looks alone. No scoping or looking for imaginary split percentages of doneness.
