Harvest now? With pics.(1st grow)

Argh! Hoping for some input on whether I should harvest 2 of my plants or wait. My other plants are definitely not ready but these 2 have quite a few amber and no white pistols. The buds aren't as thicc as I expected. Just hoping for some experienced input. I'd love to get a start on trimming before they are all ready for harvest but don't want to be premature. They are both Acapulco Gold, fyi. Thankful for any input!

They are from the smallest leaves next to the top buds. I have a hard time getting a clear view of the actual buds through my loupe or scope.

Milky cloud trichs have the highest thc.
Some people say 20% amber trichs as that usually insures the rest of the trichs are at least cloudy.
Genetics also effect trich development. Some sativas trichs may never turns amber.

In my experience the buds will fatten up noticeably in the last 10 days.
You can always harvest the tops which mature faster and leave the rest to finish longer.

The trichs on the sugar leaves turn milky then amber before the trichs on the calyxes. Usually a week or two earlier.
