Could my plants be ready for harvest already?

I was looking at the trichomes of my outdoor plants and I'm seeing some amber. I'm in Denver Colorado. The 3 plants I'm growing (Super Lemon Haze, Silver Mountain, Harlequin) all the websites say that these strains will be ready for harvest in mid October. Could they actually be ready for harvest already or am I not looking at the trichomes right? BTW, where is best place to check trichomes? Would it be unusual for my plants to be ready for harvest in late Sept? My other 3 grows weren't ready for harvest this early. They all weren't ready until after mid October.
 
You should post some pics. Do you have a digital microscope or loop to check trich's? Also what are the pistils doing? Are they white? Have they shriveled yet? :hookah:
 
This might help, and some pics to view would help.

I’m not able to take trichome pictures but here’s some pictures of my plants.

Yeah they just need time and some pk 13 14. I hear bat guano is great for pk if you want an organic soil solution. Only issue is there its slow release so will be harder to flush which you will want to start soon. Maybe a small bit of fluid pk for 1 week then flush them ladies out and you'll be very happy.

This is my post from last year. I wound up harvesting most of these plants the last week of October of 2020 and the harvest turned out really good! That last year crop was 2 Silver Mountain, 2 Super Lemon Haze and 3 Harelquin plants.
This year I'm growing a Silver Mountain plant that started out as a broken branch from a year ago that I rooted and over-wintered like a house plant. I made clones off of it so right now I have 5 silver mountains. I also have one Harlequin which is from a hermie seed I found while trimming last fall and a Monkey Berries plant I grew from seed.
 
Glad they made it to harvest buddy :) would love to have the weather and space to try an outdoor grow here but England isn't really famous for our sunshine haha. My next run after current will be the feminised grandmommy purple from herbie seeds too fingers crossed both of us do well. BTW nice work on revegging a break. Takes patience and skill that.

I can't really take credit for re-vegging that branch since it was more of a fluke. When I found the branch broken off from a sudden windstorm, I threw it in a bottle of water to see if I could continue the ripen the bud on it since it was a nice cola. When I went to harvest the bud a few weeks later, I noticed that it had rooted! So I planted it in a one gallon pot and kept it on the windowsill and added some extended light so it wouldn't re-flower.

I've kind of gotten some experience with over wintering plants and cutting for the following spring. My first official grow, I got some cuttings and a branch at a indoor cannabis expo in January of 2018. I rooted the cuttings after they all almost died because I didn't know what I was doing. I kept the branch alive for months in a vase of water in my kitchen. I eventually made several clones from that branch and gave them to friends. I wound up growing 5 plants from those initial cuttings.

The next year, I got more cuttings at the expo and was given a whole plant. I put the plant in the windowsill but didn't give it extended light so it flowered before we got to spring. So I harvested the buds and re-vegged the plant and got a second harvest from it in the fall.

Last year I got a small Harlequin 1 to 1 CBD plant at the expo and I kept it on the windowsill with extra light over the winter and wound up with 3 nice plants last fall. I've taken cuttings from all my current plants and i'm going to try to over winter them for next spring.
