If she were mine I'd wait. The trichomes are mostly clear and cloudy with no amber heads at all, and the hairs are about half and half. I'd say 2 more weeks, but without knowing the strain or how long she's been in flower or if she's an auto or photo girl, it's really hard to tell.
 
It’s hard to tell for sure without a closeup of the trichromes but judging by the pistols you have another week or two. I would start checking the trichomes daily at this point just to be safe and flushing.
 
Thank you! And sorry they are autoflower Northern Lights and they are on day 53 today. They progress really fast so I give this girl 3 more days and give you an update here, will try to get better pictures then.

Thanks again!
 
Hi everyone, you were right, it took longer than I thought. But I have harvested one plant now that was a bit ahead of the others.

Have acquired a USB microscope, hopefully pictures will come a little later today.
 
It was really hard to press the snap button and keep focus, but here is two pics of the plant thats been cut down. There are some amber trichomes in the mix. What do you think, spot on, to early?

If you go to grow weed easy website and search when to harvest theres some really good pictures to give you an idea. It doesnt look like shes quite ready yet as tricomes are clear and glassy. I`m a noob so cant tell you much like others on here but check the website out its really good for info on the spot good luck with the harvest shes beautiful.
 
That's about where I cut mine. My ol lady likes the motivation she gets when she smokes so as soon as I get about that many ambers I harvest. Just don't get in a rush now, let it cure it will be worth it. So many get over excited at this point and barely let it dry and miss out on something that would be great instead of just good
enjoy the fruits of your labor...

Yes I have been looking and reading but always nice to get an opinion. Yes there are some that are clear but I checked the whole bud and I would say that 70% are cloudy and just under 10% are amber, the rest are clear. The plant shows all the other signs also to be ready. I have many plants left in my tent so I will let some of the go a bit longer and see what I prefer.

Thanks for your input!
 
You can always cut a few buds off and let others ripen more. Buds on the same plant will be ready at different times or allow the ones that are further along get more ambers than the other ones then keep them separate that way you have daytime buds and nighttime buds. As you get more experience in judging your plants you can do it your way because other than letting them die there is no wrong way..... I like this picture it kinda gives you a visual feel of what you are looking at

I prefer milky to amber most of the time so for me the window would definitely have been open and I'd probably be happy with the amount of ripeness you've chose but maybe just a few more days judging by the 2 pics alone. A real amber fan would probably be looking at another couple of weeks.

I hear you, I totally agree. Thats a good picture, thanks!
 
Your trichomes look how I prefer them. Amber here and there but not too many. My wife prefers more amber because she only smokes late in the evening, generally before bed. I’d smoke all day if I could so I like just enough amber so it’s not a gittery high but still potent.
