What strain is that?
Best way to tell is check the trichomes. I go for all cloudy with some amber.
When i just look at the buds i go for everything looks swollen and blown up.

It's northern lights auto from seedsman, I see a lot of whiteish but no amber. However I'm red green colorblind so I'm not sure.

They will be more done. I wouldn't chop yet. I'd give them at least a couple more weeks, probably longer. Those things could probably swell up more. Is it 13 weeks from the start or since it started flowering.
13 weeks since the plant popped out of the soil and it started to flower 39 days ago. Well it started to flower back on 8 april.

So you're looking at 5'ish weeks of flowering, not 13. When folks mention how many weeks (and is it done?) they're referring to the number of weeks since the lighting was changed to a 'flowering' cycle. Outdoor grows generally start counting 'flowering' from the time pistils begin forming regularly.
Sorry I did not mentioned this is a autoflower growing inside a tent but thanks for the information.
Thanks and I will wait one more week.

Really? I'd feed it some P. It look like it could use it and I think it needs a good 4 weeks or so more.
Funny you said 4 weeks, I read how northern lights auto can take as long as 120 days. 4 more weeks would be 120 days, so what happens if i dont harvest when it should be harvested.

I see burnt tips, swollen(like autopollenated/hermed) calyxs, do you want seeds or flowers? Most autos start at week 6-7, so in a week he will be a week into flushing(7-8 weeks into flowering) and I'd say around a week+ a few days is good for harvest, those hairs are all pollenated. If you want high narcotic effects/high cbn then 1 month is probably best but I do see some seeds and that will be fully formed by then and even now bits of amber thou liss and even noticeable.

It's really hard to harvest too late. Most people chop too early if you ask me. I would give it some P and let it go. It looks pretty good so it should make it another 4 weeks or so.
I fed them FoxFarm Tiger Bloom, cal mag and big bloom just yesterday.

Lower yield, lower potency, shorter duration of high if harvested early. If harvested late, THC degrades to CBN (the amber trichomes) which results in a more tiring effect. Peak THC potency is when most trichomes are milky, not many clear anymore and not too many amber yet.

Are you planning to grow the s1 seeds(copies?) If so, then a few more weeks is necessary. I wouldn't caution against that unless you want more smokable flowers. Seeds have more value IMO, but you may not even like the smoke enough post harvest to even grow them, so it's a gamble.
