Auto Gelato Cake 9 weeks from seed..When should I harvest it?

[NewGrower2024]

This is a gelato cake that I started on March 13 and a 3 gallon fabric pot. I added a fourth grow light four weeks in and the plant has been flowering for roughly 3 weeks. Today, the plant is nine weeks old! About 37% of the hairs on it are orange and the buds look like they have two or three baby buds inside of them that still need to swell. Should I wait until every single hair on this plant is orange to make sure that the buds were able to grow to the right size? How much longer does it look like I should wait? When should I start flushing the plant?


I am growing this plant in Fox Farms soil with added mycorizzae and watering it every 2 to 3 days with clean rainwater or boiled tapwater that I’ve let sit out for a day or two or more and then I’ve been feeding the plant Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Grow big.
