Amber trichomes

i think it can ripen up more... seems a bit hairy -- the hairs look shorter with fat calyxes around them.. they also coil up at end of life. upto you.. and, i am only seeing a snapshot in time... if those are a newer wave of pistil growth vs original, it could be rip underneath and just a decison on whether the new growth is worth waiting for... also will cuase more amber underneath etc.. Amber is a sign of degradation. So is cloudy. The only reason they say to wait for X% amber is due to some guesstimted weighted average of the whole plant. You can only inspect the surface and a lot more goes into potency and ripeness than just the surface. I'm not a fan of couch lock so i tend to harvest earlier in window. As long as no issues, i like to wait for the pistils to coil up. density of colas, pistils, trichomes... use all three to more consistently choose a harevst point... try early-mid-late harvest and figure out what you like.. don't assume based on anecodotes of stoners. you can even stgger it if you want... those top colas will be ready before the rest.. could lop them off drop light a few inches and let rest ripen further.
