What are Trichomes? Trichome 101
But the answer to your question is you follow through with measuring around the plant and when the average measurement is to the level you want you can take it down. You must read up om what it takes to call it mature. There is a very large range on what is considered good and it is up to you. Do you want to sink into the couch or do you want to run around cleaning?
If you are in a good light with good training they should all be very close to the same maturity.

Right so what I said was...
Most people wait until the average around the plant is to their liking.
And I said
If the training is done correctly the vast majority will mature at about the same time so this call is easy.
If you have not trained the plant to maximize yields and potency then you have to deal with what you created. And it really is not crazy to take off all the main kolas and leave the small ones and let them go longer if you want. But there are some tricks to that to get it done to the best quality you can.

In fact some people will take all the main kolas and the turn the plant back into veg and start a second harvest on the same plant.
I smoke a lot of weed...but not that much.

ohhhh Auto....um yeah I don't know never tried that on an auto. I am growing my first ones now.
Man I would just be cool and let the top go nice and long. Then take it all. The real point of an auto is you get quick but small yields anyway.
The problem is cutting and letting it continue is hard because of the shock. it wont kill it. The plant will go into shock and then rebound. I don't know what is gonna happen on that auto. I bet if you try your popcorn turns int nice bats.
But the issue is being an auto they are on their own timeline and out of your control so you can't really control what they are doing. I don't know how well these ladies can repair themselves or handle real stress. In my research they can hermi real easy compared to others. Not if it isn't too hot and all is good they probably ill act like a normal plant and just grow some bats after re-bound.
Good luck!
Why don't you take a pic when you think the top is ready and post it at the end of this thread. Then e will all say "2 more weeks"...Then 2 weeks later we can chop down all the mature ones and see what happens.
