Hey! Taking a look at your pictures I'd say one is about 1-2 weeks away and the other about 3-4 weeks because the white hairs (pistils) are sticking out. Leaves don't look bad, it's just a natural process. What you really want to look at are the trichomes, if you have a good camera or a jewelers loupe. Don't jump early on harvest, if you wait you'll not only yield more, they'll also be denser, have more taste and smell. Make the most of it. πŸ˜ƒπŸ™Œ Harvest window opens when you start getting amber pistils. Normally when there's 70% amber and 30% white pistils they're ready but that's not always the case. The best way to check is looking at the trichomes. Clear trichomes haven't reached their full potencial yet, cloudy ones are full of THC and amber are losing THC while gaining CBN. So depending on your preference whether you want more of a head high or body high. when I see there's 30% amber pistils I start flushing which is about two weeks left till harvest. I normally use a 60x magnifying to look at trichomes when there are about 50/50% white and amber pistils. I harvest when after examining and finding 70% cloudy trichomes and 30% amber trichomes. For me that's a prefect combination, depending on the strain as well. Although sometimes it reaches that number and I haven't flushed for two weeks yet and end up having to wait a couple of days. Causing more cloudy trichomes to turn amber, causing less THC and more CBN. Which is something to look at if you want a more energetic high. As for the difference between CLOUDY or CLEAR.. Clear trichomes look like shiny glass while cloudy ones look like more like plastic. She's looking good! Good luck and Happy Growing!πŸ˜ƒπŸŒ±πŸŒΏπŸŒ²

Just looking your picture #7 I think I would be leaving it another week personally. Possibly too. Lots of milky looked but I'm not seeing a good amount of amber just yet. Have a look with a jewellers loupe and you'll get a a better idea. I also find that my phone camera is pretty decent for looking at tricombs if it's all the way zoomed in
