Hi, nice looking ladie pal. She's 17wks in right. By right she should be done no later than wk 20-22. Have you got a microscope or a decent mag? You need to check out the trichomes. What you are aiming to see is 70%-80%cloudy the rest amber no clear or milky white the rest will turn during your weeks flush? Then give a 36hr dark period, meaning let her sit it out in the dark all alone. And then bring to harvest. She looks nice, lots of bud mass to put on gaving a cloer look. but for a proper answer you need to check out the Trichomes. Good luck, happy growing!

I wouldn't advise cutting back until the plant is completely ready, if you cut back too early it might affect your yield. Once you know she's all the way done flush her, give her a few days of darkness, and then she'll be ready to harvest.

I would wait until her pistils become mostly orange and she isn't putting out new white pistils. From there you can check with a loupe if you like the trichs a certain way.

Hard to tell judging by your pictures. Needs normal light with pictures. But it looks to be about 2 weeks out.
