Unless you take clear pictures at good magnifacation (really good macro shots) we can't tell you. It would be just an educated guess. My guess is still a week or 2.

by those pics its hard to say...get a 10 buck handseld microscope from radio shack and examine the resin glands! For me i like to see the capitate stalked heads looking cloudy for the majority, with very little amber(degrading glands). These contain around 50% of the THC, so its critical to watch closely and attentively to not miss the window when things are at their peak potential!!

Had a buddy just finish a run and id say 70% of the glands were amber, so therfore it makes you real sleapy with very little psychoactive qualities...:( Not good imo

It takes 10 hours of light to make THC. So the end of the light cycle or just before lights on when she is through sending sugars down the plant. But really the time is when she is ready, the smell will lessen in senescence as she gets ready to die and you have a window of several days before a few amber become 50% amber. Some strains will surprise you with a late burst of growth. Watch for the false seed pods to swell or cut a small piece and put it on a hard surface and scope it. If you want to flush, but run out of time, give ph'd water in excess for a couple of days and it will leach the nutes out some.

I would if it works out but it's not a big deal. She may start to drink as the lights come on and that means a little longer to dry. At least pull any fan leaves off that made it through. Do you have a digital camera with a good lens and zoom feature? That will let you see amber Trichs too. Some auto's never really finish up. But I bet you've got a week to go, be patient.

Congrats, What did you use for light, ventilation and feeding? Dry her in a cool dark area with some air flow. Weigh when the stems are dry enough to put nugs in a jar and burb it to cure.
