Well i can maybe help you out here.first allow me to say i have been growing autos for 8 years now, i also grow non stop 12 month a year.I have grown many strains.Including the afghan kush ryder.You are in for a great treat.From experience and the looks of those plants in the pic.I would suggest atleast 2 more weeks.Most auto go 1-2 weeks longer then breeders recomended harvest time.When i did the kush ryder i allowed them to go 65-70 days.You will start to see amber on the outside of the smaller leaves.As it ages the amber will start to show on the bud.What for light you using?If cfl your harvest might be slowed by a week. Now i am not sure what effect you are looking for from your plants.but if you allow them to mature to 9 weeks.You will have a serious knock out smoke.I harvested mine when all trichromes were milky on the buds with some amber on the smaller leaves.I was able to smoke in the morning, but if you hit it 2-3 more times through the day you will be zombified.breeder say narcotic almost devasting.Well i must agree.Guess what i am saying is if you wait till you see a lot of amber. be prepared to be knocked out.LOL good job cant wait to see final product.

If it was me i would feed Lightly one more time, then start flushing a week before harvest, but not after 2 days before harvest. But that is just my method. 400 watt hps is a great light. With that lighting watch how they pack the wieght on the last few weeks.It is important to allow them to grow for 2 more weeks or so.A plant puts most of it's wieght the last few weeks. Just be patient! I know it is hard, but it will be worth it.The taste will be great, but i must say again.When i was smoking it, there were a few times i had to go sit down.If you know what i mean! Not sure what it is you like, but if you want an up and active energy high the royal queen royal dwarf or royal auto's are a great choice. Economical and easy to grow.They have a great body stone and can be a little on the speedy/trippy side.great for that get up and go in the morning.I will be starting some in a few days. Looking foward to your final results, and a smoke report. You could probaly take a sample in another week or so. I would think if the due date is the 25 they should be about ready then, give or take a few days from the looks of the pics, and if trichromes are starting to get cloudy.My current grow will be ready around april 1st.It is sweet seed fast bud#2 and kannabia seeds hobbit.What for soil are you using? Was just thinking that might effect whether you feed one more time or not.

I have been using Canna pro plus, I have been tryin a few different things with nutes and that still a novice.. i think i could have done with a bigger pot it is only 10 litre or 12 litre.. i started small but found they didnt like the recommended dose, or need less. I use canna terra florres, cannazym, canna boost.. never more than 1ml per 10 litre of each..

Thanks again for the heads up.. I dunno does the space in the pots alow for the buds to increase much more.. But like you said.. the next two weeks..
