I would love to see some whole bud pictures that are ready to harvest. I'm on my first grow and looking for a visual reference. Thank you in advance
Pictures of ready to harvest buds please?

What you're looking for are the trichomes. The way the hairs turn colors as they dry and recede isn't a very good way to time your harvest.
Don't harvest until the trichomes are at least cloudy white to pure white milk... I wait till I get about 40% percent dark amber trichomes.... Get a magnification device - they don't have to cost a lot to do the job - careful though there is a lot of crap mag devices out there...
Read up on this - It took me a long time to learn to harvest by trichomes color and NOT by when I could get unreliable trimmers to get
their butts to the harvest.

Thank you for the reply. I have a magnification device and have read to wait until the tric head is milky to Amber. Harvest time also seems to be a matter of preference. I'm hoping to see photographs of what different people consider ready to harvest buds.

Patience is key. Once you think they are ready, wait a week. Most hairs should have turned amber, i'd say 90 % plus and 50 % trichomes turned a milky color. But that's just a personal opinion.

Thank you for the reply I was using this method as a guide but I have a few buds that have clear and Amber mixed. I'm still hoping to see more photos of ready to cut buds

It seems time moves slower when you're wating for your buds to ripen

Lol, once you get a stash built-up time moves at a normal pace
