Does my auto look ready for harvest?

[Pistol95]

Hey how's it going everyone?! Well my plant is on its 8th week or so of growing and it is well into its flowering phase. I'm new to all this and I'm curious as to when I should harvest or if it is ready to harvest now? It's a small plant due to some complications but I'm still quite surprised with how well the buds look for it's small stature and sadly lower yield... but I know better now for my next grow! Anyone able to tell me if I should harvest or wait and if wait, how long roughly? I attached some pics here.

Harvesting is personal preference. Take a look at this chart and compare your trichomes to each category. If they are matching the effect that you are looking for, then feel free to harvest it!

All I can see are blurple trichs my friend. Cut a node, dry for 5-7 days and see what you think. Put it in the memory bank and go from there.

Purple trichomes Take a picture in daylight (5000K) color light. Then maybe we can help? The chart posted by @Proph is a good source of knowledge and good advice. I think I will copy and use it! Thanks @Proph

Didn't realize the effect the grow light would have on the color, sorry guys! Here's a few new pics of it out of the grow tent.

It’s not ready. She is thirsty though. Give her some water.

Newbie question...How did you see she needed water?

Because we all do it... so I don’t want to get flamed for saying why. I’ll just say start decreasing your feed rate. You will see your plant start back growing and maturing properly.

Great shots that make it possible to answer your question. I'm 72 w/cataracts, but to me it appears between Row 2 and 3 on @Proph chart.
What are you seeing?

I'm seeing 2 or 3 as well. So you're saying it's ready to be harvested or should I wait another week or 2? Just don't want to miss prime harvest time and end up with less potency... lol I mean the leaves are all still quite green (well most of them) but I know that the leaves won't always turn yellow when it's time to harvest, or would they?
