Hello!
Right now I'm on Day 60 of my Critical Mass Autoflower (Where the "Approx flowering time is 8 weeks" for these seeds). At the moment, About 1/4 of my plant has amber pistils and when I look at the leaves, the trichomes have about 5-10 amber triches (EDIT: more like 3-5% of each leaf) per leaf on most of the leaves. Would it still be too early to harvest or is it good to go?

Also, about 1/5 of the pistils on the plant are between half and full amber.

Thanks

When checking your trichs, check on the calyx, not on the sugar leaves. The sugar leaves tend to amber first, and also will degrade when handled so are a bit of a false indicator. I couldn't see your photos.

I just reuploaded. Alright if the leaves amber first and there are only a few amber triches on it, I think it would be safe to assume that I should give it a bit more time.

Yes, you want to wait for the pistils (white hairs) recede into the bud and the calyx swell. Once you have seen a few examples of buds that are ready to harvest you will get the hang of know when they just look "done".

I am not there yet :D

You still had probably 1-2 weeks, you are looking for those pistils to recede a little into the buds. You should put up another couple photos if you can, close to the bud and something that shows the whole plant is helpful.
