Is this plant ready for harvest?

Hello, growing for the first time outdoors. Plant started flowering in mid July. I took several macro shots, hand held so forgive a bit of blurriness. Just looking at the trichs and not sure what to make out of it. Perhaps you can give me your opinion? Is she ready? Soon?

I agree, it's very close, It looks to be pretty cloudy in the crystal, I usually pull mine when the ambers first start to show up....I would guess that thing at 5 more days, and that's a guess from a pic so check it for yourself before you pull it.

So very interesting. I made a same post at first on the n00b forum and everyone can to a consensus that it would be at least 2+ weeks. Wait until 20% amber. Here, see yourself https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/458489-plant-ready-harvest.html
I must say, tow very contrasting opinions. but since this is not a newbie forum, I will take your word for it. I will keep a close eye. My newbie hunch tells me that its darn close, depending on the kind of high you are looking for. But the only thing is that the calyx's have not all swollen, just some. Should i wait a while longer and see if it bulks up?

hard to tell by a picture always....I could be wrong, another pic or 2 would help for sure. Ina pic, the crystal can look cloudy like I'm seeing, but not really be cloudy, and if that's the case, it'll be longer than what I said. But if you look at the crystal, and they look cloudy like I'm seeing in the pic, it's only a few days out from that pic. It's actually better, if your not sure, to leave it longer, overdone is better than underdone usually.

On second closer look, there's still alot of white hairs on it, I may have spoken too quickly, it does look longer from being done than I first believed. I looked mainly at the crystal pics before.

Pinch a little bud here and there to judge quality, don't harvest the whole plant, There is still a lot of green in those buds, I expect to be in the ground til mid October or first frost. When all the hairs turn brown/gold is another sign.Generally speaking the longer time means bigger buds and more potency, Patience is a virtue.

I took the pictures hand help w.out flash. The blurriness may cause things to look a little more cloudy than it really is. I think a couple of weeks is a fair assumption. I will take some more pics in the coming days and follow up with this thread and see what you guys think. Thanks a lot of your time and help.
