well, jus to chime in, hair color duzn't actually have a lot of bearing on anything & can't really be uzed as a reliable indicator...it just meanz the pistilz are dying off & they all happen at diff ratez if there'z still white onez comin out & the budz are still swelling, u've got a little while longer

the main thing is what do the trichz look like-? are any of em gettin cloudy at all-? do u have a loupe or other macro lenz to look at em close-? the question "to chop or not to chop" simply duzn't have a set answer, lol, and is alwayz up to the individual grower...the basic, and i say basic, rule of thumb is clear-to-cloudy for a more "head" stone & more cloudy-to-amber for the body stone, and/or pain relief...but of course, two diff people can toke a bowl of the same weed & u'll get two diff repliez as to effect, so like me say, it'z just a basic parameter dunno if i helped any, but that'z me own 2 ctz ppp

hmm...well, even a good ol' plain magnifying glass will work in a pinch...anything to get even a rough idea of the clear-to-cloudy ratio...bottom line, harvesting can often be a total gamble, lol...alwayz thinkin "i shoulda chopped a day earlier", or a day later, or whatever...but, as long as ur in the general ballpark, well, that'z often the best ya can do but more than anything, whenever u do it, the end product will be yourz, that you grew, and that alone is alwayz reward enough for me ppp

I say let her ripen a bit more..2 weeks or so.
I use a loupe to confirm ripeness but I've always noticed that there's a few other indicators that help guide...one I've noticed is small sacs found at the base of the cola will swell up and ooze as buds ripen.
As you continue to grow and find your fav harvest point, you too will begin to correlate various plant reveals as they ripen. It's all part of your effort to grow patience.

I believe you have another week or week

I'd chop fan leaves yellowing now. Harvest in 7-10 days. You have to have a decent magnifier. Nothing tells the tale like the color of the trichomes.
