Not sure if she is ready or not, any advice?

Week 17 from seed. Autoflower. Had some issues with thrips and potassium deficiency that causes the leaves to dry up brown. I got amber trichomes and cloudy but what’s throwing me off is still some clear. All pistils are red and what I think is receding. Any help guys?

That's a pretty girl. Indica or sativa?

Banana Kush Auto…. I think like a 60/40 hybrid.

Anyone?

With so much clear in the trichs and just a few slightly amber, I think what you might be seeing is the reflection or coloration from adjacent orange pistils. Only you can tell for certain. I've see this a lot when they are in this stage. If it really matters to you, snip a small sample from a leaf or something that looks to be amber and look at it under magnification on a white sheet of paper in good light. Otherwise, I say it looks good considering what you've told us. Hang in there.

I have grown several Autos before and never seen one take 17 weeks. If I were you I would go to a different form on here where the old timers hang out and ask them

You will probably have to chop one way or another ….. you have necrotic sugar leaves entering buds.
Not good at all - that can lead to inner mold and necrosis. If you take it down for harvest , I highly recommend breaking all colas down .
That way you can further inspect inside. Forget leaving whole colas for pics - concentrate on what that dead leaf has been doing inside buds.

Besides , there are no fan leaves to keep plant going. Looks like somebody got too anxious with trimmers and pretrimmed.

thanks for the advice. I didn’t trim anything it was a rough run. Thrips and other issues. I will probably harvest soon.

Here is another plant, same strain, planted same time and got the same feed and everything. Looks so much different.

Looks like feed was off a bit - not end of world . Needs more time. But I would pluck the dead leaf at main cola .
Brown crispy ones. Not sure what you are feeding her but if she is still drinking regularly then give her a good bloom feed .
Nothing to crazy as there has been some nute burning .
