Harvest & Curing Unusual Flowering? Time to flush for harvest?

[elunex]

I've got an Ogre Auto that is at day 58 from seed and in its fourth week of flower.

The plant was LST and never grew a proper main cola, instead the plant has numerous small buds on it (0.5g to 1g each).

I thought it may just need more time but looking at it under macro lens, the trichome development looks pretty far along. Perhaps a week or 2 away from harvest?

Could the fact that all the buds are very small, mean that they have matured faster than they usually would? Looks like 30%+ amber trichs on a few of the buds.

Anyone have experience with this? Should I listen to the trichomes even when only just entering 4th week of flower? Perhaps start the flush for harvest and do a 10 day flush?

I have the same dilemma with one of mine, I'm going by trichs.

Not that experienced, but id say let it keep going. I went by trichs on my first grow and smoke report said it was fine, but what i harvested 3 weeks later is far superior.
That being said, that was my ONLY harvesting. So take it for what its worth.

Think on it:
Does knowledge have intrinsic value or does it need to have a practical use to have value?
