She is 34 inches tall and all the buds on the branches as well as the man cola are pretty dense and heavy. Now I'm just trying to decide when is the right time to switch it from nutes to water.

I don't know it may just be me but I think those ladies still have another few weeks at least. I see the leaves starting to yellow but the buds look like they have a bit of swelling left to do. Out of curiosity what color are your trichs on these ladies?

I think you might be looking at the wrong "Hairs" when people are talking about the color of the trichs or trichromes we are talking about the crystals of THC on the buds not the pistols that are shriviling up and dying. This is a very common mistake, as I stated in another thread I harvested my first two grows waaay to early because I didn't know what I was looking for.
The only way to see the color of the Trichromes are to get a jewlers loupe or a handheld microscope
Your plants look AMAZING and I would hate to see them not reach there full potential. You want to start your flush when you start to see the Amber trich heads. I know that the seedbank sites say 60 or 70 days from seed to harvest but from what I have seen those estimates are most of the times not enough for the plant to fully develop. Just my thoughts though, others may have different thoughts or ideas. Again great job the ladies look wonderful and happy
Thanks, was hoping t get some opinions as ever been down this road before. Don't have microscope or anything so cant say as to the color. Trying to go by Muddys post Sticky: When to harvest autos? Your leaves will tell you. https://www.autoflower.org/f44/when-harvest-autos-your-leaves-will-tell-you-4889.html Looks like some of the smaller leaves are starting to yellow and even though all big fan leaves havnt dropped of they seem pretty dead so was thinking was time. Want to get the most can so if would help can post close ups of leaves tomorrow ?

Yes good pics always help and I would go by anyhting Muddy says, he knows waaaay more than I do for sure. You might even send him a PM or make a post on the sticky. I have read it as well and he knows his stuff for sure. It just looks like they are ready to get their final swell on. Most strains pack on the most weight in the last 2-3 weeks sometimes doubling in size. So harvesting early can be the difference between 100 or 200 grams dry in some cases.
I will go back and read but what kind of lighting do you have?

Thanks very much for the kind words about our first grow. Stoked about the outcome so far. You are right, was talking about the crystals. Total noob here, have also read the buds grow a lot during last 14 days of watering. Want to get most can without over doing it, don't mind waiting if it will help for sure.
We have a 400W MH on the veg side of the room and a 600W HPS on the bloom side. Did you see leaves on Pineapple Express, they turning dark purple or black color weird (hope its just genetics, dark devil starting to do this as well)

Ok I read through the whole thread and I think a couple of things, A how far away were your lights from your plants? They seem to have stretched quite a bit. Also if those ladies don't have another 2 and a half weeks left I will eat my hat(as Blue would say) someone else may have other ideas but I just don't see how. Those ladies are only 5 or 6 or so weeks into flowering based on the buds that I am seeing and they need at least a couple more to really fatten up. This is True's AutoUltimate(granted he is a monster tree beastmode grower) see how all of the leaves have almost died off on there own and the buds are just swollen. This is how an auto should look when it is ready for harvest in my opinion, the largest yeilds I have seen have all looked just like this
