It looks ready ish. Another week might do it good. Have you began to flush with just cold water yet, reduce the night time temperature of possible and make sure humidity is as low was possible? That can give her the final push she needs to fatten up ✌️

I would still wait a week or two. Keep an eye on the buds themselves - are they still swelling/growing, is there still newer growth? When they stop fattening up, pistils have changed colour and curled, usually this is around the same time the trichomes are mostly milky, even if you can't see them. There is some window to the harvest that comes down to preference, but I'd definitely be careful about not harvesting too early in a way that leads to loss, meaning if they're still fattening up let them finish their work. Your leaves are still very green too, if they were super faded and started to die off I would rush more.

Use multiple observable traits. Some things don't always progress exactly the same. When 2 of 3 are looking good it's more easily understood when one is acting up due to genetics or whatever variables are different, if any. trichomes are great, but do not always amber up. There is a common misunderstanding that gets repeated. Amber is absolutely not "peak" thc-a. It is visible degradation. THC and it's other forms that we care more about are mostly colorless and odorless... attributing either to it is madness. Cloudy is beginning of degradation (to cbd? whatever it is, it is useless). the reason we want 'some' amber is because of the staggering growth of calyxes that make up the buds.. some are older, some are younger and the "optimal" point likely has some of each - clear, cloudy and amber. Now, earlier harvests supposedly have less couch lock. this is directly related to the degredation that is occurring. If you don't want the sleepy groggy high, you want an earlier harvest in the window... This is where using 3 or more visual clues also helps... you can do early - middle - late and test it for yourself... strain may make differences too, but relative to any one plant these correlations are sound. Trichomes Pistils Density of buds. use all three. you can good for the "window" as well as i can guess at them... 10-70% amber etc... pistils at least 1/2 coloration.. i prefer to let them recoil and that is usually overlaps with early window trichome coloration. I prefer earlier window harvests. I've done longer with same exact clones and dd not like it when it made me sleepy. YMMV... try it all before you assume it is the same for you... like alcohol... it makes some energetic it makes others the opposite.. same chemical impacting both outcomes, but different brains.

Looks like more than 10% pistils are still white.. I’m thinking 7-10 days

I would hold on for another 10/14 days if you haven't started a flush it really is work investing in a jewellers loop to keep a close eye on trichomes if your not flushing i would do so starting now but they look good enjoy the rest of your grow 🙏🙏
