She look ready to be picked?
I know this is all subjective but i just want to pick it at the right time

Pistils are recceding, starting to get an different color tinge to it, and growth has stopped but there are still some white pistils but that are recceding.
This is an autoflowering about day 78
Any info will help please and thank you!

the orange/browning is the degrading of thc, should aim for 30% brown
0% brown would be ideal unless you're intentionally promoting THCA to breakdown into CBDA for medicinal reasons.

CBD counteracts the effects of THC, so most people prefer to harvest at peak cloudy trichs.

Use a nice microscope (I use 100X, 40X or 60X is enough though) and check the trichomes at multiple areas of your plants.

Clear = precursor cannabinoids
Cloudy = THC-A
Amber = CBD-A (THC-A breaks down into CBD-A)

Different areas of the plant will mature at different times based on age, so some areas might have clear while some already have amber, generally I find most sativa-dominate hybrids peak at around 85% cloudy, 10% amber, 5% clear.

edit: Trans-siberian is an indica-dominate hybrid, so you will want to wait until at least 15-20% amber trichs, the rest cloudy. CBD is partially responsible for the desired effects of indica plants.

Don't listen to this fool> How does he see Trichomes from a Non-Macro picture?
30% red hairs is nowhere near complete + 30% Amber Trichomes is too long

The most Amber Trichomes I've had is MAYBE 15-20% when I wanted some couch-lock. Some of the cloudy Trichomes turn amber during drying also...
The hairs/pistils turning amber is NOT a sign of THC degrading > just first signs of ripening

I harvest for LEAST amount of amber + all cloudy except a few amber is unavoidable.
