If it were me personally? I'd give it 7 more days.. exactly one more week.
Whenever you think/know that plant(s) are ready for harvesting.. give them one extra week (7 days) and then harvest.
This will ensure that the plant is completely ripe and potent. It will also guarantee that the calyx's have swollen, the pistils have wilted/died off and or receded back into its individual calyx, the trichs have matured and filled with resin, and of course.. the most important yet overlooked part.. it will ensure that the terpenes have fully matured/developed (these are responsible for taste/smell). If the terpenes aren't mature yet.. the product won't taste like it should, no matter what you try and do to fix it. Once you harvest the plant/buds.. there's no going back.
So, just make sure your absolutely positive that the plant or plants are fully ready for harvesting.
Good luck.

LOL, I use to wonder the same thing man.
Trust me though.. you'll get it as you go and get more experienced. It took me at least a good 5 or 6 harvests to get everything down to where I knew how to properly do it by myself without any help at all. It takes time man.. any free time you have available, use that time and read some growing material. This will also help you in the long run.
good luck man.
Patience is absolute KEY to growing.. just wanted to add that.
peace.

Hey guys been a while. But yeah that plant took quite a while to finish like 100 plus days and that there wasn't the whole thing. The actual plant if I remember correctly was about 5 times that. I was working alone and had to go a few branches at a time.

Did you really resurrect a dead thread to answer a question no one asked?

Hey I seen yall talking about pollen sacs and was wondering if you would know if I make my girl scout cookies grow the pollen sacs could I pollinate her with her own female pollen to produce seeds or would I need another Girl Scout cookie plant

Yeah. If you use something called colloidal silver you can put it on one spot and create male flowers only in that spot. Supposedly seeds made by a plant pollinating itself are feminized seeds. You really only want them if they're forced to hermie you don't want a plant that will hermie no matter what Cuz that shit will pop nuts right in the middle of the night you won't even know until your growing all seeds no buds. So be careful when causing a plant to go hermaphrodite
