Get a 30X loupe from a hobby store or on the net to check trichomes and remove all doubt regarding maturity.

All of them. You need to let the pistils die and the calyxs swell. It will look 'ready'
This is great advice, If I could add one thing..... squeeze the buds to make sure they're "hard" you be able to feel a difference between the buds the are ripe and the ones that still need some more time.

good luck, peace
