Hello everyone, new grower. I am pretty sure I am around the time that I am needing to harvest my plant, however, there is some underdevelopment and reduced yield due to the environment. I was growing in and the inability to control the climate. I am coming up on the 11th week after flip to 12/12 but I feel like I still have some development to go and I’m already pretty late in flower and it’s taking a very long time. My trichomes are still looking pretty clear or what I think is clear and I know I should be looking for cloudy and or Amber. I tried to be as still as I can in the video, but please let me know if I should be good to harvest or what I could be looking for in the trichomes in the video. Thanks!

You'd be better off taking picture with a camera/phone than using a wobbly video. It looks, from what I can see, like its still got some time to go. Look at the trichs on the caylxes, not the sugar leaves. 11 weeks from flip is not 11 weeks in flower, more like 8-9 weeks.
 
Definitely hard to tell anything from the video as it's always moving around. From what i can see i don't really see any amber colored trichomes anywhere. Personally i would wait until next weekend (10 days) at the earliest. But keep a close eye on them between now and then.

Do you know what strain this is? Is it just random seeds from a bag or did you buy them from a seed bank? Usually they'll have flowering times for that strain. 11 weeks from flip is about 9 weeks or so of actual flowering. Which a lot of strains can finish in that time but some can go 12-14 weeks. I would definitely focus on the trichomes on the buds and wait for 30% amberish or cloudy (get a magnifying glass). To me it looks like you have a week or two minimum left. But honestly i have cut plants a little early and it's still good smoke. Just make sure you dry it right or those long weeks will be wasted with harsh hay weed.

Those pics are much better! I see most trichs cloudy, but no amber. So depending on how much couch lock you want, anywhere from a week to three weeks, but that’s a guess. I usually chop when I get about 10-15% amber.
 
Agree with @Phyto
allbeit I’d lean more towards 2-3 weeks
lol that vid made my head spin trying to concentrate on the trichs while it’s moving
Totally disagree with blazed about cutting them early ugh makes it grassy with min flavour not to include the lost thc
cutting early when you’ve spent mths growing doesnt make sense
