i m new to autoflower, thos are easyryder and the tall one look like she's ready to harvest, but they are only 45 days old!
shall i wait a bit more? i've been flushing her for a week now, i need some advise, thanks

Yeah they are looking good, id leave it another 4/5 days of flushing then cut, Should be a good smoke mate.

give it a few more days flushing ..... if the top main colas are ready first you can always whip them off and leave the remaining lowering buds to go long and rippen up properly

The old fashioned way was when 50% of the hairs turn color. The new fangled way is with a scope 30X or better. Trichs come in 3 colors clear (immature) cloudy (mature) and amber (dying)

For a first harvest, look for the largest amount of cloudy with the least amounts of clear or amber. If you prefer less couch lock, harvest earlier (less to no amber) if you want more couchlock, harvest later (more amber)

thanks guys,
i have order one of those pocket microscope, still waiting for it...
is that a common thing to see such a early flowering, only 45 days from seed!
one of then still need another 2 weeks (left one on the pic)
i started the grow with 250w cfl then had to reduce to 125wcfl due to much heat in my small size cab, is that could be the reson why?
