Ok to harvest with white hairs?

I really think my little ladies are ready. The trichs are at most 10% amber. The fan leaves have a nice yellow fade and are curling up. The top calayxes are getting a purpleish hue, as well as some of the sweet leaf. I started flushing 3 weeks ago and they haven't had water in 10 days. The only thing saving them from the hanger is that they pop out 3 or 4 new white hairs every day? Does this matter?

No mon sometimes while flushing they start popping new hairs, they will most likely turn red while drying if you dry slow enough.

Well I will start off by asking for pics, it's the best way to judge, and also would need to know how long into flowering the plants are. Because if you harvest too soon you buds may not have swelled enough and will produce airy buds. But I would say that you probably have 4-9 days left,

To answer the question in the title, yes its okay to harvest when there are still white pistils. Some strains keep developing new growth for weeks after they hit peak maturity and potency. If you've been flushing for 3 weeks (which is ridiculous in my opinion) your plants are probably starved to the point they don't have much left in them anyway. Pics and the amount of time you've been flowering already would help determine if they're ready..

4-9 days? Way to just pull an exact harvest window out of your ass with nothing to base it on lol!

They are autoflowering strains. So, I really don't know about days of flowering. When I said flushed for three weeks I meant: I flushed twice over three weeks and water only in between. This is my first grow and I started flushing a week early. But check out my Journals and any suggestions are welcome.

Looks good. Harvest. Up root and dry the plant up right as a whole. Trim once shes dry. Thats my suggestion. Good job though!
