When?

[toolman0114]

I have a couple Blue Mammoth autos growing in soil, indoors under CFLs & LED on an 18/6 light cycle. I understand these will cycle on their own, they will flower when they are ready. When will I know when to harvest? When will they be done flowering? Or will they just keep flowering until I cut them.
Also, what is the best way to dry them? In the past, years ago, I would pull them from the ground and hang them by the root in the garage until they were dry enough to enjoy. Is there a better method?

There done when the pistols are 80% orange/brown or by checking you trichones with a microscope. Have A look at How to Grow Marijuana for drying

The absolute fool proof way to harvest is using a microscope. 30x-40x minimum, 60x is perfect. Pistil color change will be different between strains, and even between phenotypes. I personally wouldn't trust pistil color at all.
