Hi folks, just wondering if anyone had an idea how long is left before harvest? She’s a Northern Lights Auto from RQS. She starts week 12 tomorrow, had a fairly rough start to life and then some sort of deficiency in her first week of flower but she’s fine again.

So hard to tell without a jewlers loop to look at the tricombs. If you dont have a loop I usually wait for the pistols to reseed into the buds as the fatten up. Your look close but without seeing the tricombs its difficult to be accurate and dont want to give you bad advice

I put mine in the dark and shine a light on it. LED flashlight or phone light if you have to. You can get an idea of clear vs cloudy. Then I also use loupe.

That method can help be one piece of when to chop. Just like u said 12 weeks that’s another. Trichomes are another so without a loupe you will have to use all other info you can gather about if you’re ready to chop.
 
Agree with the guys above, 2-3 weeks minimum.
I would invest in a microscope so you can look at the trichs in two weeks time and post more full plant pics on here before you think of chopping.
 
It's really something you should look at investing in. They're really not that expensive. Here are a few options at different price-points.

Super cheap:

Decent / what most people are using:

Fancier version of the above with WiFi so you can use your phone: (I've got this one.)

So your price-point is between $7 and $45. It'll answer a lot of questions for you. The digital ones are a better investment, as you can pot pics here to get opinions.

This was the main girl on Thursday. I managed to get a cheap jewellers loupe and can see that the trichomes are cloudy. I’ll try get some pics taken later.
 
Here’s the best I could do as far as pictures of the trichomes, hopefully that helps. Getting eager to chop her down but willing to wait as long as I have to. It’s €50 for 3g of garbage weed where I live so time is of the essence
