I am not qualified in any way to answer this lol but I would say that you are close and to keep it for another week and check the Trichs again. There is controversy everyhwere over when to harvest and what your trichs should look like but I like the sound of 15% amber and mostly cloudy, with just a bit clear. So maybe hold off for a little while more. A lot of Autos go further than the "60 days" that is advertised.

"It is known that a seedling through veg plant contains about 2% thc/cannabinoids(by weight). In small trichs covering every inch of the plant... in flower the long capitate stalked heads come out.. Yes you can get good (ish) hash off a plant In veg obviously will have a bit more plant waxes from the leaves
The plant contains a genetically predetermined ratio of terpenes and cannbinoids that can be altered slightly through environment but in the same environment its the same throughout the life cycle.. the plant continually metabolizes and excretes inside the trichome head until it begins to senesce, at which point it stops producing precursory cannabinoids and terps begin to cyclicize alter, oxidize etc as it amber's giving a different smell and altering the high......
it will get less racy as it turns cloudy and amber...at cloudy you just know the trichs head is maxed out and not going to get bigger. the plant will literally have the exact ratio of thc just less overall with the smaller trichs heads.. I harvest early to have the most thca possible sacrificing a slight amount of weight for overall supreme quality hash
cbn is largely not psychoactive it takes 9 times the volume to even feel effects compared to what it came from...and its not cbd....what? Not cbd! It does not give the same couch lock feel....it causes the messed up high, memory loss and mental confusion..unable to do a basic math problem..it causes the burnt out feeling after smoking all day It does not have the medicinal properties of cbd.....it is not cbd..yes it is somewhat sedative...."
The "early high" doesn't have limiting cbn that will antagonize your high. Its clear, racy(speedy, thought racing, psychedelic)and doesn't last as long. Gives no burn out(well less, I assume you aren't growing pure sativas) and can smoke all day...the flavors are lighter more feminine depending on strain it can vary but normally floral and sweeter (relatively)
I would chop now

To give a better judgement on ripeness/time left would need to see pic of whole plant/bud.

Not leaves that werent dying and pretty much wilted/falling off without much tugging were taken off.

The leaves jsut started yellowing but not like overnight or anything so it wasn't a quick trauma like a bad dehydration that cleaned it out. They just fell off slowly the girl has been flowering for quite a while.
BUT!! An orange mite crawling on a plant next to it was found and someone here called it a thrip but that was only one person. Also, there are little bugs in the soil that ar elike greyish have a bulbous body, antenae, thin thin legs, and a head visible as seperate from the body when using a jewlers loupe. otherwise they look liek light grey dots moving around to the avg person you can see the legs if you have good eyes. Thinking that had somethign to do with it..

Thank you quiz, I actually believe I read that little excerpt somewhere else too! Good info for everyone though!

If it was me I would probably let it go another 5-7 days but I'd keep an eye on the trichs. She is not quite ripe to her full potential yet, a lot of growers would chop now but I think the extra wait is more than worth it. Just make sure you chop at the end of at least a 12 hour dark period. I do not like those dead leaves near the buds though, I would probably take a sample bud and check it inside to ensure it is healthy before making final decision.

Here on the forums I believe. Not too long ago lol, I think someone was saying that the amber trichs give you the couch lock and the cloudy and clear give you the head high or somethin, idk. Either way I saw it somewhere hahaha

Actually, Aphids are green and thrips are white (at least I've only seen them white). That actually looks like a predator mite though which would indicate that you do have or did have some sort of insect problem. The group shot is the life cycle of thrips and the other one is a predator mite.

Wait wait.. There WAS an orange bug that had the shape of a thrip on a different plant but theyhavent been seen again. Themites int he soil are everywhere in that pot though if you look for a few seconds. If they are actually good then would it be a good idea to try to get them to spread around? also does that mean that the tent that plant is in and the liht fixtures/fan need some kind of srerilization now?

Springtails are good for plants and soil. I raise dart frogs and I literally culture springtails. 1, for the frogs to eat as a tasty little snack when they see em, and two, I have tropical plants that love them. They dig into the soil and live in it because they like 100% humidity. They are usually white in color, very small, but can be seen by the naked eye just fine when looking closely. they jump a lot... do a google search on springtails and see if that is what they are. I believe aphids are bad... don't quote that though. They are bad in the dart frog hobbie that is.

I'm no expert by far so I'm not sure if the orange thing was a thrip, or spider mite or what. I think when thrips become adults they are a rust brown/orange color but I never let them get that far when I see them so I couldn't say for certain. As far as sterilization I would say yes, after this grow clean the tent and anything that was inside of it thoroughly. I believe eggs from these insects can stay dormant for some time.
