Looking great! Do you have a jewlers loop or USB microscope? Its the only way to see close enough to tell if your done
Lookin good I’m not seeing much amber with my bare eyes so I’d give them 1 more week but you should use a loupe for confirmation
Yes , I do, I have a loop, but I really cant tell, as a noob, I need to see it on my plants. They look similar to photos of others ive seen , but not same. Ive never seen “ready trichs” in person before. I lost my last grow to mold. I as looking in the loop last time around when i found the mold, so ive never seen plants that are ready in person. ill try to get more steady pics , was using a cellphone magnifier app and guess my hands were a lil shaky
So is this photo you sent, is this showing plants that are ready or need a little more time ?
That is when I chop. It’s all a matter of personal preference. It’s just a guideline for me
When I see these starting to turn amber. I flush and chop.

Thank you
Sandrums, just beautiful! I would wait, just a bit, awesome job! Just a bit longer for the tri combs to turn an amber color for me, I’m waiting for my Runtz so I can have some new wax. 
. That is just my opinion. I use a 10x magnifying glasses

Here’s about the best I can do holding a loupe, shaking, and trying to take a pic. But here is the plant. And this is the color I have.
Like I said it’s all about personal preference. But it gives ya an idea of the color to look for

I can’t remember who but someone here told me to pick a Calyx and put it on a black surface for closer inspection and its worked our great

If that was mine I would be going for maximum yield and wouldn’t pull until there was no white pistils left and the nugs are hardball. That has potential. Good job @Woodrow

This is my first successful grow to harvest where I am looking at the trichs. I snapped these today, they look close.
