The best time to harvest a marijuana plant is when about 50% of the trichomes have turned from a milky translucent color to amber. the what colors they should be at harvest time. Not all the trichomes will mature at the exact same time, so harvest when most of the plants are ready. Or harvest each bud separately.
It is nearly impossible to see the trichomes with the human eye, so some type of magnification is needed. An inexpensive way to effectively view them is to use a pocket microscope rated at somewhere between 20x to 70x.
There is another type of trichome that can be found on marijuana plants, they are called cystolith trichomes. This type of trichome is mainly found on the underside of leaves. They look like small hairs with no resin gland at the top. Cystolith trichomes are not a source of THC.

Well, I would like to say those are some nice shots of your bud. No matter how close you get with your camera, no one is really going to be able to give you an accurate opinion worth considering. What you need is a handheld microscope so you can evaluate the trichomes on those frosty nugz. Only then will you be able to tell. Anything other than that is guesswork.
If you can obtain a handheld microscope, let us know, we will be able to help you out from there.

Are you wanting to know if its ready??? If thats the case some people are going to say yea-cut that shit down! and others are going to tell you to wait a week or 3. I guess it all depends on your personal prefernce.I think its looking good but pictures 2,3,6 and 7 look a little airy but still look DAMN good. So like i mentioned up above, chop that shit down and it'll be great smoke or you can wait a week or 2 and see if she denses up either way, it looks like it will be some great smoke. Could it be that the pictures 2,3,6,7 are different strains? or are they just sattelite buds?
