@Eddiedean thanks for the tag. If you have a jeweler’s loupe 60x then u can inspect the trichomes directly. If not you have to estimate their status.

Assuming you dont have a microscope or loupe and want as cerebral a high as possible then u should consider harvesting around the time most or all the pistils have dried out. If you want a more couch lock high youll need to wait longer. How long depends on the ripening of the trichomes. I have just completed a harvest that i took samples of her flowers from October to Jan. And they were all good in their own way

The only way i know to reliably know the status of trichomes is to see them up close and personal.

Just harvested goldleaf. She was at 9 weeks into flower. I had to take her early because one of my other plant went hermie on me. I’d say she had at least another two weeks until she was ready. That would put her at 11 weeks. Your pretty closed time wise to when I planned to harvest mine.
I have been smoking Goldleaf for the last several days and it’s really good. Actually making my favorites list.

Your trichomes appear to be almost completely milky. Probably ready anytime depending on thd high you’re looking for. For me I like my goldleaf but think it would have been better had it had more time to ripen.

A pic that’s not quite as zoomed in and in natural light would help get better idea of general condition of the plant. Once pistils have receded you’ll want to monitor condition of trichomes as others have stated.
