New Grower First Indoor Grow: Jock Horror Auto

[Franchise]

So I messed up a little in my calculations and checked her ppm just now and it was at 603, so I added half a gallon of water.... hopefully she didn't stress too much.
When I left the house the pH was at 5.61
I will be back home in around 2 hours to check the ppm and add more water as needed.
When should I start checking the trichs for harvest? Also, this is my first time so when do I know she is ready? I read a few posts that said autos are ready for harvest when all of the leaves start dying off, but look at all of those trichs on my leaves! lol...
As always, I am ready for some advice and appreciate all the help I get...

What do you think about harvest? I have been comparing to other grow journals and trying to see what my harvest MAY look like... does anyone have any ideas on a ROUND A BOUT... because I know there is no way to be certain... guess at what I look like I may be able to harvest.

Here are pictures!!!

Si, speaking of harvest... here is my plan let me know what you think.

As for drying I am thinking about using a cardboard box, tying wires across it and hanging the buds from the wires... then placing the box in a closet or maybe in the bathroom?
For curing, just mason jars... open them up once a day for 30minutes or so?

Harvest when 10-30% of your trichomes turn amber.

Anyone know why when I try to upload pictures it is pulling up a URL thing instead of letting me upload?

Today is Day 58, so I better start keeping a better eye on my trichs.... should I start flushing now? No Nutes...?

I read the entire post for the curing/drying methods that was posted, and here are my questions:

So when I am drying, when the branch snaps it is done drying right?

For curing, I won't have any of the strips/meters they spoke about so how can I tell when it is done curing the natural way??
Is this more of a preference thing or?

Read the above post please, I finally got the pictures to work.

Yeah, when the stem cracks, but does not break in two you can go ahead and cut the buds from the stem and Jar them. I burp once a day for 2 hours for a week. After that, I just burp them as I dig into them for a bud to smoke. I would let that girl go as long as she wants. Seed banks are deceptive with their finishing times. I've seen that buds put on most of their weight and fill out right before they're done. Keep checking the Trichomes and harvest when 30% are amber and you'll get the most out of your plant. Once you start to see Trichomes turning amber or your sure that 90% of you Trich's are milky start flushing. Letting it go a little longer is better than too early in my opinion.
