trichomes - need a 30x magnification
pistils - preferably changed color and stating to coil up
density - gently give 1 a squeeze and make sure it's got some density to it. don't do this except to make yourself feel better about the choice. less is more.
more amber = more couchlock.
you can take a cola off early and later than the bulk of your harvest. no harm will come in that time frame even if it is stressed out by it.
you have light burn in this first 2 pictures. if the colas was much taller than the rest you can snap it at a point tha tbrings it in ine with the rest of the canopy. support it the first 24-48 hours and it'll be healed very fast. after that you may need to have a support holding it 'down', because it will try to go vertical again. The tip will bend to the light so you snap its stem 4-6" below canopy level in expectation, but the horizontal part will even try to bend upward, and you'll want to prevent that too. the tip going vertical is fine.
