Hi, I am not sure when to harvest my plant. I bought a jewelers loupe to look at the trichomes, but they are still 90% clear. On top of that, there seems to be new white pistils growing on the plant. That said, most of the fan leaves have yellowed and fallen and the plant is starting to look pretty beat up. Did I way too long? Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How many days since they started to flower? What does the breeder say it should take? Doesn't look like you have a lot of amber trichs, and you still have white hairs. I chop after no more white hairs, but you could wait until you get some amber trichs.

its an old plant- about 3 months. It was a random freebie so I don't know what the breeder would suggest.
 
Autoflowers can go as long as it takes regardless of breeder hype ( yield and harvest time )

Some can go 100 days plus. Thats why to wring every piece of smokable pot out of it - you feed it and let it mature to its best potential- however long it takes.

But. Looking at plant pics , you may end up cutting it as-is ( plant looks like it cannibalized what it could get from leaf matter ) No Pigmentation left. ( nitrogen aids in root and leaf cell health / pigmentation )

So plant may just be what it is.
 
Autos lie about the time it takes to sell them easy.allways watch your flower and feed until the last day.do some LST next time maybe 1 week longer grow but a lot more branches.its a waste of 1000w to grow 1/4 of your growbox

this took up the entirety of my 2x2.
 
2x2 1000w :S. Congradulations with managing to control such power in such small space.
How much dry weigh did you get? 1.2kg?
