Autoflowering question

I have an Autoflower I got for free when I ordered my seeds from my seed bank and decided to give it a go. I'm about 40 days into flower and she has slowed down on water intake. I did a defoilation experiment so I don't have many fan leaves, but the ones I have are turning yellow. Everything is leading me to believe she is ready for harvest. Except trichome colors. I still have some clear ones but they are mostly cloudy. I normally wait till about 30 percent amber before I harvest. I'm including a couple pics with this post. So with the given info and the photos, is she rdy early?

40 days?? Looks like 60! Earliest auto I've even seen was 56 days. give her a week then check your trichromes, she should be done then. Large auto strains LST instead.

Yeah I was pretty impressed with the bud development with this strain (jock horror). But I will give her a wk and check trichomes again. I'm just worried with her taking a lot longer that usual to drink her water I will run into mold issues.

Give her 5-7 days.. Judge the plant as a whole.. Don't wait too long or she may try to hermie!
Definitely don't want that! The plant as a whole is telling me she's rdy, and from what I understand, you can't really trust the trichomes entirely, especially on autos. But what's holding me back is the fact that she's only 40 days into flower. But I will check in on her everyday and in a few days I'll make the call on whether or not it's time to harvest

That does not look anywhere near done to me. Pistil hairs still look mainly white and havent receded yet. Not sure where you heard trich werent reliable but thats only way to know for sure
