First time grower. I did a lot of things wrong because I read about each phase sort of after the phase - my fault. Learned a lot though. Started germinating about 1/15 so it’s been 3.5 months total. I had them indoors with a light for about half the time then moved them outside. Used Fox Farms ocean and their fertilizers, also (but not on a great schedule). they are between 12" and 20" tall but I’m worried I am very late harvesting. I’ve been staring at the trichomes but really can’t tell. What do you think?

How about pics of the full plant, a representative cola, and trichomes, please.

I had them there - not sure where they went. I’ll try again.

My eyes aren’t good enough to see trichome transparency, but someone who can should be along shortly. They look close. How long have they been flowering? Be aware that plants can finish at different times.
I have to get pics like this of trichomes to evaluate them:

I’ll try to get better pics. I’m not sure about when they started. all I can tell from old pics is that I transferred them to these 3 gallon bag/pots on March 4 and they were still only 6" tall and no buds then.
All cannabis varieties are generally ready for harvest at 8 to 10 weeks from the start of flowering.

Well unfortunately I don’t know when they started flowering because I didn’t know what I was looking at was flowering at the time. 
Here are some better photos though.

Getting close, I don’t see any amber yet. Some milky and lots of clear? What’s everyone else think?

Id keep a close eye on those buds every day by the time you start to get some amber trichs the clears you have now should be cloudy

Welcome to the forum @mri
I kinda did that too when I started.
Something like that. Maybe a week or so I think. 
I’m sure you did and your next grow will be even better!

Thank you so much! I was so worried I was too late.
@mri “I learned a lot” that statement right there tells me you will continue to improve and continue to learn, that is were it all starts!! Next thing you know you will be talking about cation exchange and chelated nutrients and want to push these plants to their fullest, it comes with time. You did a great job, I wish I had your patience when I first started.

I see about half clear half cloudy. Id let em ride for a few weeks. While you wait, get you a digital microscope from amazoon. Then your mouth will really water 
despite all your hurdles, youre doing a kick ass job. Keep it up!

When they look milky, not clear, you need a good lope
Nice looking good
I just finished up on 2 BB autos and yours may have as much as 3 weeks left it looks like. Depends on what buzz you want. I go to 40% amber trics. I’ve been growing about 6 per year and some have taken 16 weeks to 18 weeks to finish. I’ll check my notes tonight and let you know how long the last 2 took.
