To pull or not to pull. An 'are we there yet' with an added pressure of a ticking clock. What do i do???????

I have a Mephisto SS X DG which is at 70 days. I have to go away next week so my choice is flush. chop, dry this week or wait 3 weeks (i could chop 3 weeks from today as someone could flush for me but doesn't know enough to chop and dry). Some of the colas/buds are showing a little amber. Some are much clearer. I don't mind losing a bit of bulk but not sure what to do. Pictures and imgur links below. Its in peat coco mix under HLG. @Mañ'O'Green you have been so helpful before, any words of wisdom? Its the little sister to the plant you helped me with last week. i feel this week is a touch early but maybe its ok?

Given the choice between 3 weeks from now and now. I'd choose the now. They are not the most clear but i think i see lots of amber on your trichs already. If i were to guess you are not harvesting too early by going now.

By your trich pics, you don't have 3 weeks in my opinion. That's another 21 days on top of your 70, so 90+... most of my SS crosses are done around 80 days. If you weren't leaving, and just asking about chop date, I might say 5 days, 10 tops. I'd rather be a tad early than pretty late. Gorgeous plants!

thanks @bil and @Arthur .... really appreciate the thoughts and looks like coming down is the best option. this is my second ss x dg - the first one came down last week at 83 days (photo attached) and was just a sea of buds. this one has been a slow runt but ended up pretty good. lots of lst'ng and a topping at the start.

Harvest now. Three weeks is too long and it looks just right to me now.
