AutoFlower Harvest Help!

[DeepPurpleHaze]

Hello everyone

I started some Auto-flower Il Diavolo feminized from Delicious seeds, it was a free seed from Attitude giveaway. It was started indoors and was placed under a 400w HPS for about 4 weeks. It was then moved outdoors along with some others. They say these plants are suppose to be ready very quick, and i think im getting very close. I would like to show yall some pictures and get your opinion for the chop! Its a small plant but im excited because it my first grow. She is pretty frosted, looking good i think. Enough talk, here are the candy shots!

When do you think she is ready for the chop?

Yes sir, I kept them indoors all of march and got a bunch of them started. Then close to the beginning of April they all got set outside in full sunlight. This is the only Auto i have going right now. My others are: Sugar B, Sour D, Pineapple Express, Vortex, and im sure im forgetting a few.

I really dont know what its going to yeild, my guess is not much at all. She is pretty small, bud does feel pretty dense though. This is my first EVER grow, so i dont even know when i need to harvest her. I came here to get help and insight for when i should harvest it.

ah ok, well have you a magnifying glass?

generally you wanna add a week or 2 onto reported finishing times.
but using a magnifying glass will alow you to see the thc glands, and you wanna harvest when they are cloudy or turning amber

Im going to go pick up a pocket microscope today so i can check the glands out. I hope i didn't wait to long, i guess we will wait to find out.

search the forums here for the best type you want, you need a certain amount of zoom.
and they look like they could be fine with another week or 2

dj short says at least 30x magnifcation in his articles
I ordered a 30x from dealextreme this year, hope it'll work well(last year I used a microscope I got for free from a familymemberwho used to be biologyteacher, but for guerilla I thought it would be beter to have a small portable magnifying glass)
on my dried harvest from last year I could see the trichs clearly with this thing so I think it will be ok
