When they are ready they plump up and get a little darker. Under a microscope or jeweler's loupe the trichomes will have little to no clear heads, lots of cloudy, and a few amber. The exact ratio depends on the strain and your own personal preferences. Harvesting is really more of an art than a science.

Post up some pics if you want more accurate estimates, but you should go by trich color, not bud or hair color.
