How close am I to harvest?

Hey

First time grower with another annoying question

I've been growing two white widow autos in coco. Currently week 8

Attached are images of the plant and a typical stalk, today vs 3rd feb. I've also included my best effort at taking a closeup of one of the heads, so you can see the calyxes, pistils and resin colour. Sorry it's not better

To my eye, most of the pistils are white, most of the calyxes are "immature" (not sure what the correct word is) and the resin is definitely closer to clear than milky/amber

The heads are ~1.5 inches at their fattest point and really look like they have a lot of thickening to go

What's throwing me is how rapidly the pistils are browning. Not knowing what rate is normal, or at what point I should start flushing, it seems alarming to see the visible difference day-to-day

Do I just have a poor crop? Or will this whole process continue for a while as the buds get denser? What would you say is the definitive point at which I should stop feeding and prepare to harvest? (if you have experience with WW autos, an exact timeframe would be even better!)

Thanks in advance

Got weeks to go. Yes they will continue to throw new pistils and put on weight/swell. Doesn't look poor, just young. Maybe 2 or 3 weekish. Probably more.

Thanks! That's what I was hoping you'd say lol
Based on what you can see at this stage, can I trouble you for an expert opinion on how much it might yield?
