I'd say another month, or so, as it/they look to be around week 4-5 of flowering. Harvest now and you'll have airy buds with little or no trichomes. Wait a month til those buds swell and they are frosted with sugah 
Seriously, you'll want to see mostly amber/brown pistils (with little new pistil growth) and big fat heads on mostly cloudy, with some amber, trichs Then it is time to chop 
Lookin good and good work!

Agreed, it looks to me like you are about week 4 definately atleast another month but you'll be much happier when them fine ladies fill out and double/triple bud size. I highly recommend that you wait because there have been a few plants I harvested like this and they were simply shit bud because I couldn't wait and had to mix them with good bud to even get medicated.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Hey guy's! 1st timer here. I plucked a top at this point and u are correct. I enclosed a pick of a top 2 months later. I did this because the buds underneath seem to be lagging. I have a 16 power to look at the trics but it's a a little difficult to see and I think I'm still seeing some clear! What do u think. The grow is outside and I'm a little nervous and want to get it harvested, already had one stolen.
these are in a different place but somewhat close. My issue is that these plants have large buds so there getting noticable. Buds pistels are 50% turned'trics between clear and milky on the top and still very green. If I were to harvest them now how much potency will I be losing. Thanks guy's!

These are what ripening buds look like. The first pick was taken 5 days prior and the second 11 days prior to harvesting. You got several weeks to go. I could have waited a few more days...even another week but these were outdoors and rain was forecast. Samples smoked after 6 days drying are proving to be some serious shit!! The high last over 8 hours even after waking up the next morning!! This is organic outdoor dank. It simply can't be duplicated indoors. But your buds should at least be this ripe before harvesting. KEEP IT GREEN!!

Sample a piece from that bud. It may be strong enough already. You harvest trichs not pistils so the condition of the trichs takes precedence over pistil color. When I harvest usually all the pistils have turned brown. But I understand your plight. Outdoor plants require a lot of work.... better some than none. Fuck those bastards!!!

You should wait till the pistols turn 50% brown ! That would be perfect !!
