Indoor vs Outdoor

Hey guys I have a question that's stumping me. I've got NL2 growing outdoors, and NL2 growing indoors.
Both went to flower around the same time.

Indoors is very frosty with almost zero amber trichomes. Like 2-5%

Outdoors it's September 15th and it's not even close to as frosty as the indoor, but it has lots of amber trichomes like 20-30%. I didn't think it was all that close to being done, untill I looked up close at it with 60x magnification.

Judging from the trichomes outdoors seems to be ready to harvest, but comparing it to my indoors it doesn't even look close to having reached its full potential.

My question is: Is that just the difference between indoor and outdoor? Does 20 to 30% amber trichomes mean it's time to harvest no matter what? Or should I let it keep going? I honestly have no idea what I'm doing any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
Aaron

When you grow outdoors you grow with god, when you grow indoors you are god.
Speed of ripening, finished quality, and length of flower cycle can both be effected by the unstable conditions produced by mother nature.

Tricome color is secondary IMHO, once all pistels are colored and receeded into the flowers and the caxyles stop swelling the flower is fully ripened. some plants will be full amber at that point others will be barely milky.

Pics would help. How do the pistils look? Have they turned brown and dried up? Are you looking at the trichomes on the calyxes or the sugar leaves? Also, are they all clones or from seed? Different cultivars of the same strain from seed can vary widely in frost and finishing times.
