Are these ready for harvest?

They are about 9 weeks and seem to keep pushing out white hairs. Some buds are fully brown hairs all curled in.

No, at least 3 weeks, maybe more

Agree - weeks. You’ll be if glad you waited.

You could chop in two but three would be ideal.

Hell no bra.. take some good clear pictures of the resin, then you can zoom in on the tricomes(resin globs), you want 50% to an amber color.. you will see them go from crystal clear to cloudy white(milky) to amber(light brown), it's like a ripe fruit and you dont want to pick your mangoes or papayas when they are green and hard, no you pick them when they are yellow golden and sweet.. Same goes for your buds, you're ideal harvest is at the peak of THC content prior to any degradation.. What is your latitude?

Should wait another few weeks, mine are at a similar stage to yours. Don't worry about trichs, bad way to judge ripeness, some plants trichs never turn amber. You still have white pistils, you want those to turn orange and recede into the bud as the bud swells

Weeks to go yet. Don't pull them early.

You're going to want to push them as long as you can before the first frost IMO .

Sometimes rain or humidity can make those hair turn brown, the hair test for harvesting time is really an unstable ‘not best way to determine such. Get a nice scope and scope from top to bottom and get ur crystals/thriches yo 50% cloudy -starting amber . My guess u need another 2-3 more weeks and what u could even do for mold prevention is on 2-3 weeks or closest time to a lot of rain is chop the to[s and leave the mid range-bottoms to longest time before a true frost. This method has made many mid range and bottoms worth while but also save my tops cause that’s def most vulnerable part of plant for budrot aka top nug , this kind of rot always starts on nug under that top nug touching it like a sponge…. for preventive of genetics I find genetics if they have more pebbles/mid range nugs vs large 2liter sized nugs. The reason is those big ol nugs def promote moisture to be able to store and promote mold to win Vs mid sized compact nugs but the nugs have spaces between the nugs more and promotes less chances of budrot.

I have been fighting mold in the east coast but will let them go three weeks more thanks

It sucks yo Chop early, but it sucks even more when ur best of ur crop entirely or majority is ruined by budrot. This is why I suggested on closest day before when u get massive rain chop those tops off and let the rest of plant mature and pheno’s that aren’t showing budrot issues.
