You need to give it 12 hours of light and dark, no flushing until last 2 weeks before harvest. Maybe transplant into a different pot because they can double or triple in size, so if you do transplant give it a week to recover before flipping to flower. If you want to top your plant or anything do it not cause during flowering you can't. What strain are you growing?

Well you don't have to give it dark before going into flowering, that's a huge myth that 24-48 hours of darkness speeds up sexing it takes me 5 days at the earliest to tell sex. Youcan do it but in my opinion it's worthless, I haven't seen anything in Anyones journal to give me reason to do it. And flushing is something you do before harvest go get rid of the nutes in the bud sothe taste isn't so harsh and you get a smoother smoke along with curing.

top and supercrop autoflowers at very beginning of veg, you will have to plant on one stem, each with sub branches all carrying buds

good to know 
There is no set time on harvest...too many factors such as soil condition, stress, exact light cycle, strain, etc. Indicas average roughly 8 weeks, sativas even up to 12 weeks or more. If you have a camera with a macro mode you can use that in lieu of a microscope or jeweler's loupe but it will be essential in timing your harvest correctly. Don't go by the pistil color either.
In the last couple weeks you will notice your buds suddenly filling in a lot more, almost like a second growth spurt. The trichomes will seem to explode everywhere too. At that point you know you're getting close but without a way to check the trichs themselves it's a guessing game unless you sample often but that will result in a lower final yield.
Good luck! Reaping what you sow in this instance is a good thing!

Great info indeed. thank you for it.
Is this week 3,4, or 5 of flower? Under 1000w hps.
my guess is that its 4 weeks.
Heyy, great thread you guys, I have some problems with excessive fan leaves, can i defoliate and be able to sleep at nite knowing. They will be ok???
And are the red hairs different then the mushroom shape triclones ??
The hairs are red in some places, does that mean its ready or will all the crystals change too???

any defoliation will stress the plant and can effect the yield, there are a couple of threads about defoliation, it seems to be a personal preference if you do it or not, yeah it will be getting more light but you are stressing it, it has its ups and downs... as far as red hairs, it is an indicator but you need a 30x magnifier to look at crystals for a somewhat amber look...
Tryin to fix a broken branch is stress ... I started defoliting I after
Snapped a fatt top ... Know i got to defoliate to save my favorit branch.
I didn't realize there were so many freaky fan leaves. People must trim the shit out of their plants to get them so pretyy st harvest. So we will see ...
Good luck... Let you know how it Goes.
