IDK if this is ready for harvest. I'm not sure about the trichomes. The plant is 14 weeks old and is an autoflower. This is Girls Scout Cookies I can see some amber trichomes in there but I'm not sure is there are enough amber trichomes for me to harvest. Not to mention that the buds don't look as thick as the ones I've seen online and on some YT channels. Does the light has something to do with it?
What I do know is that if you harvest too late, you lose potency and if you harvest too early the trichomes are not fully developed so they won't be as potent as they should be. I could provide more pics if needed.

Thnx for the help!

Look at the bud, not the sugar leaves for your special mix of cloudy and amber that you love so much. You have a way to go still, she is not ready. You will see the pistils turn brown or orange and draw back to the bud. Way too many pistils still growing, let her finish filling out for you. Be patient and she will reward you for it.

Thank you for the response. I'll be patient.

The trichs on the fan leaves, and the look if the plant (the fan leaves are just about leached of sugars)
It all depends on how you like your bud.
When in doubt wait a week.
You could cut the lights 15 min a day for this last week. I'd also recommend getting the temps lower, and feed solution around 60.
You'll get some nice colors on the colas
Good job!
