Looks like you may have some powdery mildew to attend to first, sorry bud :(
And for harvest readiness, it is generally better to look at the trichome development rather than the pistils-- especially for autos, as the pistils tend to darken a lot earlier.
In terms of semi-harvest, you can do it but bear in mind that the plant requires some recovery time before it will finish the lower buds and so, that is far less ideal with autos.
