Time to harvest or should i wait?

This was a clone I decided throw outside Sept 1st because I had no room in my tent. Didn't expect much not going to be harvesting much but what is there looks phenomenal. Been waiting for the leaves to die off but this guy is still going strong. It's planted in the ground and temps have been getting into the mid 30's the past 2 weeks now. Is she ready or should I let her go until I see some yellowing in the leaves?

LOL and it's still alive that's crazy. I guess it's a photoperiod? Would be great to see the whole plant but sure looks milky and in the zone to harvest.

I'm seeing what appears to be cloudy trichomes, but use caution here. I've noticed that lighting can make clear trichs appear cloudy, especially with a camera. IF most of your trichomes are cloudy, you are in the early harvest "window".

I'd wait another week until you see some amber trichomes (on the buds, not sugar leafs)... Your real close now, but a few ambers will really let you know for sure.

Here you can see the amber just starting to show, I harvested a few days later and the bud is AMAZING...

This was a couple weeks ago. When I planted it outside I really didn't expect it to do anything lol it was only about 7in tall and it was already Sept 1st but I figured it was better than throwing it away. Here in Michigan we usually have to pull them by mid October at the latest but we've been lucky this year and I still have her in the ground. Within 2 weeks it was over 2ft tall and popping nugs. Now it looks REALLY good. I'm actually pissed that I didn't throw them all out there because I'm gonna be lucky to get an eighth off this after it's dried and cured lol

You’re flirting with disaster having a plant outside this late with the near freezing temps. The trichs look super juicy and I would chop that bad boy post haste.
I’ll take quality over quantity every time.

There really is no quantity lol it was a clone that got put in the ground Sept 1st. It went straight from the cloning machine to the backyard in the ground without any veg cycle and now it's 2 foot tall with some fire nugs on it lol I might get an 8th at most from it after it's dried and cured so I want to make sure it's the best it can be. But with it going in the ground September 1st it was a few weeks behind most other plants that had a full flower cycle outdoors. We haven't had any frost yet and I check it every day to make sure it's ok. I've just never planted outside before so I don't know if the leaves will yellow when it's ready or not. I made this post over a week ago and I still don't see any amber in the tricks but most of them are milky.
