HELP! Harvest time? 103 days Royal Auto Jack pictures - expert growers' estimation wanted!

[ars]

Hey fellow weed fans! It's me again, I've posted again 3 weeks ago, see here: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...mag-deficiency. But for reiteration: This is my first grow and I'm aware that mine are not ideal conditions, but I just felt like trying it out: 2 pots, 120 W LED lighting - I did not really get it, it's promoted as comparable to a 1000W lighting, but I doubt so - (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) on a roughly 18/6 or 16/8 schedule (yes, I know this much energy would probably suffice for only one plant under perfect circumstances). I do not measure the pH of the soil and I did not want to mess around with too much on the nutrients front.

So it's day 102 now after germination, growing Royal Jack Auto.

What's your impression? Should I finally harvest it? I know the buds are not too big and don't expect much (no ideal conditions, light-burn in between, etc.), but are they ripe?

They def look milky but cant tell if there is amber in the trichs. I would use a microscope or jewelers loupe to see the trichs better https://www.growweedeasy.com/harvest#trichome-method

Its close and may be up to personal preference so check out the link and see if it is where you want it.

She looking good !! I hardly ever see any of the old growers commit on that question.Its always " it depends ". And I say it depends. But me I'd start taking her down.

There is indeed amber in the trichs. I used a jeweler's loupe to see them as well.

Thanks for your answers, guys! I'll just take her down, can't be bad or "too low in THC" after 15 weeks, even under non-ideal conditions...

Until you grow enough for it to actually last 30 days you will never believe the difference cure time makes. (been there,done that)

Last week I took down a plant that was just over 18 wk. Today I started flush 2 more that are now 19 wks. Like you, I’m a new grower... and I did lots of stupid stuff that hurt the plants growth. As others have said, waiting is the hardest part.
