How to know when calyxes are swollen?

When I look at my buds, the calyxes look big to me - however, due to inexperience, I'm not sure exactly what a 'swollen calyx' looks like. Do the calyxes here look swollen to you? Also, if anyone could guesstimate how far from harvest I am, it would be great! Trich pix in diary~

They are starting but they are not theybtake a few weeks. Basically swollen mean that they will be big enough to considere that a seed have firmed in it (tho it has not, like a fake pregnancy) swollen in that way. Ut happens when the hair have turn red/brown and curl they swell and expend.. after they all have swollen and hair have turned you are very closed to harvest.. if you look at the mainstemp of your plant where branch form you'll have preflower. Thise have usually swollen up by this time in harverst . Thats whats swollen mean. some strain have big flower some have smaller. But that size should be a general idee of what to look for

Your still a few week away from harvest. When about 80% of the hairs have gone brown is harvest time or when the buds have cloudy and Amber trichomes. The calyxes will swell and you will notice the hairs getting shorter as the calyxes engulf them.

off the hip id say 2-3 weeks, potentially more if its a slow maturing sativa (or a weird auto pheno). Once more hairs go orange you are going to want to check the trichomes. This is a solid comprehensive breakdown. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-knowing-the-time-is-right-to-harvest-your-cannabis-plant-n84
