The hairs white or brown give you a cue to check the Trichomes.
The Trichomes are what you’ll want to base your decision on when to harvest.
When looking make sure you’re viewing actual bud and not sugar leaves. I also look at various bids at various heights on the plant.
When it’s ready depends on what you’re looking for as far as how it hits you.
All cloudy or 90% could for more of a day strain and up to 30% Amber syrup for more of a body high.
You can even harvest in stages just depends on your circumstances.
Hope this helps a bit
So its not going to hurt it to give it a few more days ?
So it wont hurt it if i give it a few more days
It’s all up to you and what you’re seeing with the magnifying device and where you want them to be when you harvest. Another day, 3 days a week it’s up to what you’re seeing and what you want.
Drying low and slow
Curing
And storing can make or break a good grow.
After harvest is where you want to be more diligent

Agree its a personal decision. If the trichs are cloudy then harvesting is fine. Waiting might add some more weight to the buds. If you want more amber for more sedative effect then you can wait as long as you want till you see what you want. Trichomes don’t age fast. I have found it takes a long time to get any significant change in the amount of amber. In my last grow it took 3 weeks to go from 1% amber to 5%.
