I'm late af to this but I would give it a week or so and check the trichomes again, so this coming saturday. If still a bunch are clear and not really any amber, give it another week or so and should be good then. You're damn close.

Some are a little closer than others but you're just about in the window imo. Bout out of clear trichomes so maybe this Saturday on it should be preference at that point for how much amber you want. If you don't really want any then could likely harvest around then depending how they look. if you want 10-20%+ it might be an extra week or two or more. Sometimes a bunch of trichomes will change overnight, sometimes it takes days/weeks.

Also, the tops will usually be ready a week or two before the bottoms will. So if you want the bottoms to look ready like that then it'll be an extra few weeks. Can either leave it as-is and the tops will likely be mostly amber by then, or you can try harvesting the tops when you want and leaving the rest of the plant to ripen for another week or two. Or if you don't care just take the whole thing, will be close enough.

I would definitely check the trichomes all over and make a decision from there. The minimum goal imo is less than %10 clear, the less clear the better and longer the high lasts. Amber's are a breakdown of the THC so a lot of those aren't usually preferred for recreation either, but it's way better than having clear trichomes.

I would say the pistils are what you use as the sign to start checking trichomes. When they stop reaching out is when I would say you start checking trichomes on buds, not on leaves. Some more experienced growers don't even check them at all as they feel they can tell just by the look of the plant however I am not there, I still use the trichomes to determine when to chop. Plants can ripen more on one cola than the next, this is why some harvest in stages. To me his main cola looks ready and the smaller ones may have some more time. Waiting for clearer pics.
So much of this.

He quoted me and then added to the topic with well thought out and accurate info.
