Harvesting time question

Hello people, this is from a bagseed. I can tell that its a sativa. How long do you think should i wait till harvest? Should i just cut those buds off? I actually dont know what to do with it. I also want to utilize fans and trims too, what would you recommend?
(I dont have a microscope or nothing but i can see some amber spots on the buds, it seems like ambers are maybe %5 of all)

peace

looks good but can you post a pic of the whole plant? everything looks pretty good though, but there is some new white pistals shooting out
 
Thanks for the comment, here is the whole plant (kinda blurry though). Ive noticed the new white pistils too, is that normal? Should i wait for harvest?

The new pistils are a sign that the plant is doing its last fattening up before you should harvest. They do fatten IP really fast so I would say leave it and start your flush if you haven't yet. Should be ready in about a week
 
I flushed her 4-6 weeks ago and havent been giving her any nutes since then. Should i flush again? By the way i was being too stupid to read the material about harvesting and curing in this site. Now that i start reading those, i feel like i get the basic idea of it.

U'll see as more and more of the crystals start to turn from clear to milky that is when u'll know its ready. If u flushed ur plant 4-6wks ago and havn't been given it any nutes it should be fine the way it is, flushing is what u wanna do to ur plants if u've been using any nutes that aren't organic which means they r a salt base and those salts build up in the plant, so you wanna flush those salts out with just straight water before u harvest ur plants so u get a better flavor from ur smoke without that salt build up in the buds.

some can go a lot longer than that. What are the trichs doing are the going amber yet? Clear? I have grown some sativias out and man they all could of gone a lot longer. I would wait a week or two if not more as those leaves turn yellow as the nutrients it has stored for flower are spent and clearly that is not the case. I think should you choose to wait that long or at the very least till you see a good amber/ white trich mix and leaf depletion you will not only find you have a greater yield but a superior - a much superior - experience to the one you could have should you choose to harvest. I once grew a choc. thai out; eleven point five months my friend and it could of gone longer. Kicked our asses and between me and my 2 smoke mates thats 45 years of lighting up. Give it the time it deserves.

dude your plant is soooooo green its gonna take forever for all that chlorophyl to break down. i wish u had some yellowing/ripening. u gotta wait for the plant to ripen. you cant smoke chlorophyl.
