Welcome to the forum @M27 
It’s really hard to tell from your pictures. Try getting a couple pictures of single buds up close, without flash, and we’ll get a better idea.
From what I can see, I’d see at least another 2 weeks. 
What do you say Legends? @MeEasy, @Low , @Budbrother , @OGIncognito , @StonedCold13 ? Just to tag a sample of the great people here… 
@Retiredoldguy , what do you think, you Senior you

like you said can’t say for sure but if really 7 weeks into flower she is getting pretty close in my experience… @M27 needs to scope out the trichs… most will be ready at 8 weeks… it is my understanding that most genetics will have about a 2 week period that is optimal time so you have that window to harvest within…

I’d bet it’s 7 weeks from flip, 5 in flower. 3 weeks from what I’m seeing, trichs should be final say though. They look to still be building to me.

As always, agree w og and grow doc.
I came here for a few questions myself on the topic. One thing I can say is that in general a cell phone will get a good pic if you zoom in. Get close to place and stay steady…..then zoom. Might take a few turns. Something else I’ve noticed if I can’t get focus easily is to do a video and search the frames. Screen shot those and the zoom.
All those things being said; there is a harvest window and it’s not one size fits all.
I was always thinking..I need quite a bit of amber to relax me. In my case, not true. The more amber; the more off my body feels which results in the fear at times.
But really the ideal harvest depends on many things. Most of all …the effects you desire.
This is only my opinion but I think where you harvest in that window is almost as important as the strain you choose.
Here is my general rule of thumb. I may vary depending on situation but I go for minimal clear heads. On the calex which will be the last to change. I’m not as concerned with the amount of amber as I am with not having clear heads. That’s just the route I have taken.
I can tell you that for me….ive went from growing afghani strains to 20-30 percent amber and have transitioned to lots of other strains including sativa dominant and I am harvesting at firsf true amber.
One thing you’ll notice as the plant become ready if you don’t have a way to view trichomes is that the plant will look like it’s been snowed on rather than covered in ice crystals. Think of it like smashing clear ice w a hammer. Once you see that opaqueness- you are close. Here’s a bud that I consider appx 5 day to 2 weeks out. But….i will check often and it’s just an estimate. Probably not; but it could be ready in 2 days. It could be ready for some peoples taste now…or in a month. Just depends.

They’ll show hairs whenever they’re sexually mature. Start counting when you see the first hedgehogs, or formed buds, about dime sized or so. Sativas are usually chopped when all milky, just when clear clouds up. Indicas need some amber to keep from being anxious and possibly causing headaches. I like lots of amber to knock me out, but you could quick dry a small bud when it’s close to see the effects and if you need to wait or chop. Everyone has a favorite, luckily after you find what you like, you can duplicate it growing it yourself.
