Not much experience. Opinions on these trichomes… does this plant need more time?

A pic of the whole plant would be helpful. I do see white pistils, so she’s probably not ready yet.

Not real clear shot of trichomes. It’s a difficult thing to capture, but I’ll say the white pistils say not time  
Yet.

Got a ways to go, do you have a pic of the whole plant?

Overall shot of the plant and one representative cola. FYI trichomes are checked on flower not sugar leaves (which mature first).

Closeups of the bud (not sugar leaves) would help. I would think you have a few more weeks. How long has she been in flower?

They appear to have a few weeks min left to mature. Do you have that amount of time outside?
