Yes, harvest very soon, once all the pistils are brown, death is near for the plant and THC is rapidly breaking down into CBD and CBN, two non-psychoactive compounds that are very relaxing but do not produce a high. If you prefer a more mind bending head high, next time you will have to harvest when there are about 95% brown pistils and a few white ones still. However, if you prefer a more sedative and couch locking CBD body stone over a THC head high, you are at that point now. Personally, I always base my harvest timing according to pistil colour rather than trichome colour, as pistil colour reflects truly the health of the plant and it is plant health that determines trichome composition, - which trichome colour on its own does not. Further, judging harvest timing based solely on trichome colour has a few traps in my experience, - some strains will never develop amber trichomes and some will have 75% amber trichomes after only 4 weeks of flowering. This can lead to the situation whereby people are harvesting near dead plants in desperation after waiting far too log for the oft quoted magical "30% amber" to appear on strains that don't ever get amber trichomes. Conversely, harvesting after only 4 weeks of flowering would also be very disappointing. I have been using this "pistil colour method" for more than 25 years and firmly believe it its efficacy. No doubt I will be howled down by the 30% amber crowd, but that is ok, they are allowed to believe whatever they want! Personally, I would have started giving plain water (flushing) 10-14 days before the expected harvest time, you will not have much time anymore to do a proper flush, but if you have been only feeding lightly, a 2 or 3 day flush might have to do and in reality, might be your only option, as leaving your plant much longer will result in inferior weed with degraded cannabinoids that will make you fall asleep and not much else. I hate to be negative and the "bearer of bad news", but there is such a thing as over ripe cannabis that has well and truly passed its prime. Hope this helps, Organoman.

She looks amazing and yes it's harvest time. However, if you like couchlock, you could let her go a little longer.
