Harvest Question on Pistils

Hi all, so my plant is definitely on the cusp of harvesting. It's been growing since the end of February. My question is this: Half of my buds, mostly the lower half have dark pistils, while the top half has them. but also a lot of white foxtails popping up. I've heard that this can happen and to go with the pistils that turned first. The trichomes are an even mix of milky and slightly darker all around. I'm wondering, can I harvest the whole plant now, as is? Top two pics are of lower half, bottom two are of top half and main cola.

Looks like foxtailing to me. If you zoom in you can see the same structure here. This is a GG/GSC cross so it's almost expected as it finishes up.

I'm new but I honestly don't think any look particularly done. There are still white pistols and the others haven't darkened substantially or pulled back much yet. You do have some foxtailing going on but that can be genetic if the environment is in line. I'd lean towards two more weeks on it at least.

Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies, well Royak Queen Seeds versions of those two anyway. Both are notorious for foxtailing.

So for the buds on the main stem, which are the biggest and oldest making new white pistils, will they eventually all darken as well? Or do i harvest before then

I'd listen to this guy about cutting nutrients to curtail the foxtailing but I'd still expect them to show new growth. They look a bit young.

Caused by excessive nutrients.

You can harvest now if you want but that plant isn't ready.

Oh, once I do harvest, I'm gonna be looking for whoever is the most expert in dealing with trim. I'd love to make some wax but hash would suffice. If anyone wants to share a recipe that'd be awesome.

The could've been pollinated really recently, so you might not see seeds yet. Not saying they're pollinated, but it looks kinda like it.

I've seen male plants and hermies and they always have sacs present

You don't need to see balls. Check out nanners.
