The hairs can turn orange,red or brown weeks before the plant is ready. You need to look at the trics for the very first signs of going from cloudy to brown.

Look at the plant in white light. You should want to see about 10-20% amber trics, and 80-90%cloudy. Happy Harvest!

If you have a digital camera take a pic of the buds as close as possible, load it on a photo shop program and enlarge, you can get a good idea abt it.

grorite answered the question above. The caylax hairs will recede back to the bud. at this point the trics are generally mostly cloudy.
