How many days have you been flowering now? I have the best results when I harvest the main cola and the secondary ones, then leave all the bottom buds on for 2-3 more weeks, really ups the overall yield when those smaller lower buds double density due to all the light. I have found that if I leave NL until the whole bud looks darker and all the hairs have been orange/red for a couple weeks and hardy any new hairs are growing and its giving you that yummy cotton candy smell is the right time to harvest for me personally. When magnified the trichs look about 30% amber and the rest are milky. Now my NL is a different Pheno than yours, but I have found there can be a pretty long harvest window and still get good results.
How much longer until these are done? (pics) Northern Lights

I agree with this one . I've tried full harvesting also and this will improve overall weight and quality a ton. alot of those little popcorns will gain way more weight with an extra 3 weeks. Northern lights is an amazing plant that just seems to get more potent the longer you let her go.How many days have you been flowering now?
