OK this is my first grow, and my first 2 ladies have been flowering for 11 weeks, including stretch, since switching to 12/12. I been flushing for 7 days, and am thinking of harvesting in about 3-7 days. Most trichomes look cloudy barely any amber, and still some clear. They looked finished about a week ago then they grew a bunch of white pistils, eswpicially the main cola on top. Any advice would be greqatly appriciated

Theres a few that look weeks from being done i would make sure the white hairs recede and it turns into bud. So from just looking at ur pics and video i would say at least 2 weeks could be more.

What type of strain is it?
 
Not ready , I'd carry on with feeding nutes for anothe week then flush for 10 days and let soil dry completely then harvest time clip clip..

There nice but not ready, patience is critical at this stage, keep looking at your trichs, let them go to roughly 80% cloudy and 20% amber.

I got a microscope but its so hartd to see without cutting a piece off plant, so i got a loupe, and I can see them so much better but its hard to see if they cloudy or milky

Ok heres I am going to post an updated video and pics of my plants. The calyxes look swollen and more then 50% red pistils except the top bud, which grew all new white pistils on top liek 2 weeks ago. I dryed a bud and it smoked good, but I don't wanna harvest early. I have a few questions which I ask in the video if you can check it out for me

Look around you bro, in that video. Nothing seems like its autumning-off. Wait til some fans turn purple or light green and start flushing. I'd say at least 1.5 weeks more but that cola with white hairs looks like its 3 weeks off.

What if the leaves stay healthy and green? Then never harvest?

Leaves changing colors is an indicator of deficiency, not ripeness.

Yeah that seems to be my trouble I have more then 50% pistils besides the top of the main cola, and mostly cloudy trichomes and amber trichomes are starting to pop up now, I am going to cut 1 plant down to satisfy my imaptience and let the other 1 go as long as it can. Also will let the Bubbelicous which is getting close to being ready stay as long as it need to finish properly. Thank you for all the quick responses. Any more input good or bad is always appriciated
