I harvested my auto AK-47 today and that was planted on Oct. 1st. Once the trichomes start to turn amber I watch closely for more to turn then pull it. Today was that day.

Even without my microscope and with my old eyes I can see the trichomes have gone darker. Using the microscope only confirms to me what percentage. Worth the investment if you plan to continue growing.

This looks similar (same brand) to the one I own. Mine has 4x, 10x and 40x objectives and a 10x eyepiece. I only use the 4x for trichomes. Anything greater and it is much too close.

2-3 weeks. Looks great, however! Outer leaves will start to turn yellow from flushing and you need some colored pistils, too.
Get a jeweler's loupe (hobby store) and start looking next week. Clear....too early to chop. Milky trichomes your're getting there, but not quite yet. Milky/ some amber...now it's time!.

Nothing like chopping down nice plant like that when it's not optimal (the best!). Be patient! Rewards are many when it's time vs. cut too early.

do you think I have to do flushing even if I'm on 100% organic?

Agree w/ Bush Dr.
Even organic, you want to rid build up that affects taste.

Sure looks like you got a way to go. The only amber was on old leaf. You have lots of new growth, I think your N is a bit high. What do the older leaves look like?
