You harvest by trichomes.
Cannabis plants will continue to flower until polination, which is why they hermie if you run them too long because naturally they want to make seed.
You are over growing your plant. You need to flush it.
If Trichomes are ready, plants ready, the white pistils constantly popping out is just new growth that will occur, technically forever, but you lose terpentenes with time and other things like potency because THC does go bad.
I say you start flushing and prepare for harvest in a week.
Pick off all those bad leaves, they could rot and start mold/botrytis which no one likes.
What day/week of flower is that plant. Strain, and when you say trichomes are ready, what does that mean to you?
I'll try n help ya, but im no expert.
