I'm not sure that's the method you want to follow. 12 weeks veg is way to long for an indoor grow IMO. Especially if you have a sativa dominant strain. Hell it get 15' tall by the time it was done :). Typically people veg between 4 and 6 weeks, then flip to 12/12 until done which depending on strain is typically eight to ten weeks.

Take closer better pics but from a distance, def need more time. When you say 8 weeks I don’t usually count the first week or so when they are first transitioning. I’m sure you read about ember hairs and scope with how the heads look under the scope. But a dead giveaway is dying leaves

Definitely 2-4 more weeks. Some more pics that are clear and in focus of the bud will help. Even if you are just a grower of 1 or 2 plants, I would seriously consider buying a 10-15$ digital pocket microscope. Even with it, you will still question yourself and when to harvest, but it gives you a nice concrete visible way to help determine it. Good luck on harvest buddy. :)
