Is she ready.

I’d always check the trichomes heads and if they are extremely milly-white with a few ambers sprinkled in, and the calyxes have all swollen, cut her down! If the trichs all still look glassy or clear, just keep pushing her.

Hard to tell without seeing the whole plant. From those shots there isn't a whole lot there so I would suggest you let it go as long as possible.
^^ this.

If this plant is for you my suggestion is cut a test nug, quick dry (google it) and try it for high profile. It will smoke like shit and taste bad but the only way to know if the high profile is where you want is to smoke it. Correlate that with what your trichomes look like and from then on you know when to pull that plant.

If you're growing for quantity we need a picture of the entire plant. From the small bit I've seen it looks like she could bulk up some more.

Good luck, she's lovely.

Yes but my resolution wouldn’t allow proper viewing. In any case, when she “looks” ready to you, buds have swollen and get that “golden-white” hue, and the pistils are mostly deep red, and the plant overall starts to yellow out (senescence) you are pretty much ready to chop. A lot of different views on “too early / too late” but the advice above for quick drying a test bud is a great way to check. Honestly with good strains once you get past 9-10 weeks and start seeing milky with ambers, you are usually safe to chop IMO.

From the looks of the fresh pistils it looks like she has a lil more to give. The trichomes tell me you can take her now if you want.

you can cut her from now. you can also leave her a couple of days. the longer you let her, the more of a body high you will get.
