    Harvest or Wait

    Looking for some advice for a newb growing some Northern Lights Autoflowers on if I should harvest or not. I've read online about indicators that guide you on when to harvest but figured I'd ask some of the experts as well.

    For background, started these 3 girls at the same time in mid September. It's striking to see the difference in size considering they've all been in the same grow tent the whole time. Obviously one of them has been hogging all of the light and doesn't even appear to have started flowering but the other two flowered weeks ago and look like they could maybe be ready for harvest. Just want to make sure I don't wait too long, but also don't want to harvest too early.

    Pictures attached:

    Dear Mr. Bond, Congratulations on your grow you have some great looking plants and buds there! I'm 100% sure those are not ready to harvest. I can tell by them being on the small immature size and they have a lot of white pistils left. Give them some more time my friend
    Buds are going to grow larger and those pistils will turn orange then curl in when closer to harvest. Check out this page too.

    Harvesting cannabis at the right time is just as important as how you grow the plant. Harvest marijuana buds too soon and you lose potency and yields; too late and you can end up making a batch of sleep medicine. Learn how to harvest at the perfect time, every time! Here's what you need...

      Yup still have about a month left. Get rid of the one not flowering because it's not a auto. Only way it's gonna flower is to put it on a 12/12 light schedule. The ones flowering aren't getting as much light as they should be because of the super tall veg plant. If you really want to save it chop off half the plant so you can lower ur led a bit.

        I just thought the same thing about that tall one being a photoperiod or funky genetic XXL auto? You could top that about 5 inches and train it lower. I agree with the above statement. And i've done many times used auto an photo together this is a great time for you to do so being your less than a month out. I've run autos at 12/12 with photos when the autos are within 3-4wks of harvest.

            All 3 seeds were from the same sealed pack where I ordered them online. Is it possible that this one is just not autoing because it's getting so much consistent light compared to the others? Or could it be that some bad genetics or something went into one of the seeds? I ordered from growers seed choice which seems pretty reputable.

              Not sure if links are allowed here but below is what I ordered. Came in one of those little sealed packs with the 3 seeds in it. Not sure why the one would be different.

              And just to confirm, you think it'd be fine to cut the light cycle to 12/12 to kick the tall one into gear?
