I feel she's been like this for the last 2 weeks, kept in thinking I'd harvest last weekend now this weekend, now It's not looking so sure. Any opinions on how close she is?

Your pistils are just turning (which is good) so
Once they are orange from top to bottom and curled back into the calyx, set your window.
I personally let the hairs set back completely 100%. Then wait 10-14 days from that point on. I don’t bother with trichs unless that plant is going to be put to extraction for concentrates (people tend to like blonde-gold colored wax).

And while the rest of the plant seems to be turning and ripening this one cola just keeps stacking. New while pistils every day.

Have a mix of calyxes with pistils brown and retreated in and also some new grown and fresh white pistils keep popping up. Found a couple seeds in there. I culled my males as soon as they showed soonest confirmation Basically preflower. I haven't been able to find any hermie or nanners on the 4 girls I got.

Any thoughts? Is it normal to keep popping fresh pistils while it's ripening up? Anything to do with it seeding?

Thanks yall, I was thinking maybe it was from another grow. How do you think they're looking on ripeness?

Found some aphids today, it's been cold overcast and windy enough the past few days all of the the predator bugs haven't been out. I saw them concentrated on one satellite branch and cut it out. Then upon closer inspection I can see a few here and there the main chute the satellite was on, I couldn't find them on the other, yet. I would really rather avoid spraying the buds at this point but looking for any advice either way. Should I just take this main chute early try to stop the spread? The buds on this thing look amazing as well and I would like to keep them even if it's a tad early the main cola is like 4 inches thick. Will the aphids leave the branch if I cut it to dry? Can I wash them off after I cut it? Would anyone spray at this point? Got about 2 weeks or so before frost.
