ok the plants are on day 60 almost. From what ive read white widow should be ready around day 60. When the plants started flowering I was away so I am not 100% sure on the dates. Here are some good photos. I have 2 plants under a 400w hps.

I'm not that great with when and when not to harvest..
Get a microscope, check trichromes 70%amber 30%cloudy is a good time for a 'couchlock' high.

well , from these pics the trichomes do look pretty amber-ish , I would say go for it. But like the guy above me said, u might wanna check em with a microscope... but from ur pics, they look pretty mature. I would.

they dont HAVE to be amber to harvest, they just give different buzzes... all amber ones will give u a couch locked type buzz... if u want something that is energetic and social buzz, harvest when they are standing straight up and JUST starting to be milky but still kinda clear.

I have never looked at my mature plants under a miroscope but I believe 100x is too strong. The lit sugests 30x power. The color of the trichroms seems to be acidemic I look at the overall appearance of the plant and the cola's if the are big abd hard it's go time. I also mark a calender for the number of weeks in flower(12/12) by week eight(day 56) They are almost always ready. Seems to vary by the strain. I let a NYC diesel go 9 weeks but I don't know if any real gains during the last week were accomplished.

Those look good and ripe, Only a Mic will tell you though not us. If you want us to tell you to cut them just say so, I personally would harvest......IF the trichs look ready

I look for squiggly extended tric's and about 25% amber glands... And yes, from the look of it, I'd say go as long of those two weeks as you can.
