Should I harvestttt?

For me, my autos look really beat up when they are close to harvest. They look more spent than a photoperiod plant looks.
This a jack herer auto 12/6 harvest. Looking pretty waisted

Fan leaves and some of the sugar leaves are browning and showing their age

It’s trichomes cover all ranges from clear to amber
From a mature calyx


While the trichomes on another calyx still has a lot more clear and some cloudy

I certainly could have let this plant go a while longer but I needed the space for the next grow so down she went. She was given 130+ days to do her thing. Long enough!
This is what took her place Sea of Green Acres AK47 & NL Clones

You have a while to go. The magnified picture is of a sugar leaf. It looks to have all clear or cloudy trichomes. When the sugar leaf trichomes have lots more amber, then you are close. These turn sooner than bud trichomes.
Patience and you will be rewarded with fuller, heavier buds.
