@Slowking,your plant already started to mature.Look at those pale green leaves.These are the signs that you are already very closeThere are still plenty of white pistils sticking out straight and buds still need to get mass,this means it's early for harvest.Look at those little bags that shoot out pistils,they are called calyxes.What we call "buds" is a group of calyxes around the same stem.They are still small.Once I see at least half of pistils are brown and curled and some milky trichomes,I get that I'm very close and wait 1 or 2 more weeks.You'll probably be ready to harvest at week 10 or week 11.Normally,I wait for almost all milky trichomes for most THC,don't prefer ambers.Trichomes should look almost all milky until end of week 11,that's an estimation of course,not a strict info.I'm a newbie too but I can understand what is a premature bud.Yours need a little more time.Experience is the most important thing in growing plants in my opinion.Time is passing by,patience and you'll get a great energetic sativa.And your plant looks really good.
You won't harvest late btw,don't worry lol it's %100 guaranteed.
