Looks done or close to it. If you can get a scope or magnifier of some kind to look for amber trichome heads you can know for sure. You want the hairs shrunken back and red and calyxes to swell up. Yours look like that to me.

you wont want to pull it anytime before about 62 days....you can take the longest time mentioned on the pack and then add about a week and thats generally where you will start thinking about harvesting...so you still have like 32 days if its been 30 and then you will want to start checking the trichs and just looking at the plant to see if its "ripe"

and what kind of lights are you using there?? a halogen? that thing is stretched to the max!!!!! first grow?? herb looks pretty nice if it is, you will still get some good shit but train tht plant next time so you have the same amount of tops on a plant half the height and you will yield more/the same in half the time

wow I'd like to get ahold of a plant that matured in 4 weeks. 7 is the earliest i've had. anyways you at least a few more weeks but your going to have to tie some strings to surport it. its way to lengthy and skinny to be able to surport the weight its going to pack on in the next 2 weeks.

It may not be done but it looks like it might be from what I know of 5 grows. The trichomes tell the story, no substitute for reading those.

so you've grown 5 times and dont know the basics? lol....their's not a single 4 week strain in the world a and b you cant even see the trich colors from those pics...i understand you gave the ok advice to look through a scope but to say it looks close to done? no man trust me you have a while to go if its been a month, start checking those trichs in like 30 days and the plant will swell up nice as well i dont even have to check trichs anymore if i really wanted i can usually just tell when the plant "ripens"
 
Read closely, peeps.

the strain is a Afgan kush ryder auto flowering, it has been growing for about 2 months, and now flowering for about 1[???]. the 17th of this month will be 3months all together from seed to now.
Autoflowering strains will begin to flower quickly regardless of the light cycle provided. Your buds look very ripe. I'd expect any auto to harvest within 2-3 months from seed.

LOL.....He didn't say he had grown, he said "what I know of 5 grows".
ya and?? thats what he meant im sure..and to the guy above me he still said its only been flowering for 4 weeks!? even autos cant flower in four weeks thats just crazy...and the breeder claimed idr what he said like a 54 day flowering period and usually you can add like a week to that?!?!?!

Who gives two damns about the numbers? They mean nothing, just look at the plant, if it looks eady to harvest, it's normally ready to harvest, and that plant looks near ready for harvest... You just need look at the pictures to work that out.

Maybe the grower has not got his numbers right when it comes to what he has perceived to be it's time flowering, but i'd certainly be getting a loup out and thinking about chopping it.

well thats the thing if you cant see the trichs in the pic..which its not a macro pic so you cant, then you have to go off his info and he said its been flowering for four weeks....with that info it cant possibly be done assuming hes right
 
wow u guys are a huge help!!!!!!!!!!! sorry iv been away for so long

I might have my numbers mixed up, it may have been veg for 1 month, and flowering for 2 now. i need to double check. im preety damn sure it was veg for 2 months and flowering for 1 tho. should it even matter tho? if its auto flowering it should flower when it wants. the only thing that changed was i added flowering chemicals. but either way its been 3 months tommorow. ill take more pics in a min but this time with the micro infront of the camera. cause i really dont know where to look for the trichomes. i think they r the long hairs that start white and turn a nice golden brown. alot of them r brown, a few r still coming in white. i feel liek the buds needs to OPEN more if anyone knows wut i mean. certain parts of the bud opened and certian parts look like they r together forming a little ball idk if u guys see that in the pic. ill deff take more pics asap and u guys r a huge help. thanks again everyone more pics coming

lol the reason it got so damn tall was because when i started it from seed when it spouted the light was to high causing it to stretch and completely fall over then i had to hold it up with sticks lol.. so it got thin and stretchy. lol and it actually is tied up in that pic u guys just cant see it with the light.

and for lights i got growing lights, and normal sun light. so both going same time. through out the whole proccess. didnt even switch lighting hours up cause its auto flowering

its not seeds its that rose calyx style herb lol ive never grown anything like that..im pretty sure its doing that because of the weird light hes using.....and ya dude the "flowering" time doesnt start when you change the nutes it starts when you first start noticing little buds like ten pistils at each bud site and you can call that in flowering....so since your numbers are messed up the only advice anyone can give is look at the trichs....if you can find out when it ACTUALLY started budding then you can estimate by time as well to an extent ie had it actually been only 4 weeks it would be way too early...
