Unsure if to harvest or not.

I'm growing a blue dream strain leaning more on the sativa side. The tricomes on the very top of the canopy have ripen with Amber tricomes. Buds slightly below have clear and milky tricomes. Over the last 3 days more pistils have sprung up on buds all over the plant. I

doubt it's foxtails but wondering if I should harvest now or leave it for the buds to get fuller. Mind you, I'm nearing the end of the 8th week.

i would take a small bud from a place that will not be noticed and test it - this will give some extra time with the rest of the plants to mature a bit more than what it is now , i have herd there are 3 different time one can harvest -- 1 when tips are amber and rest is still more on clear side with little cloudiness -- 2 when tips are full amber and there is more cloudiness to the lower sections -- 3 when all Trichomes are amber, or about 7 to 10 % amber to all areas of the buds. the main thing is that you feel its time then do as you must - but i would push another 12 to 16 days and see results then , still looks like a great harvest ahead

@jafofubar57 Your explanation helped me. My son let it get all amber and it was not for me. So I am watching mine this time and going with number 3. :):)
