hi, do you have the opportunity to take closer photos of the trichome heads? From the pictures you can't tell exactly whether it can be harvested yet! how long has it been around? Judging by the pictures, I think it can stay put for a few more days

Suggest buying a cheap magnifier. Look at trichomes..the white pistils will be almost gone when it's close. Trichomes are the perfect way to tell if it's ready to your liking, consistently. I'd say 2 weeks at least if your not planning to use a magnifier. You won't be disappointed to wait 2 weeks..that being said, with magnifier, if in 2 weeks your trichs are still 50% clear and 50% cloudy you'll know waiting for a other week or maybe only 3 days, would get you some top shelf bud. It's ready when it's ready. When your trichomes are mostlty cloudy with only a few few amber colored will get you the highest cannabinoids. Wait a little longer until 10-20% amber and you may find the high a little more relaxed. Wait until 30-50% amber and couch locked sleepy. Whatever your preference for effects. Harvest all clear trichomes, you'll have weak weed that give most people a headache after the short lived racy high has passed. Sometime I use the magnifier to harvest the tops only, which are ready only to find that 3 buds sites down needs 2 more weeks to mature. Giving me more top shelf..harvesting in stages is possible. My preference is 10% amber on indica dominant and 30% amber on a sativa dominant. Took several harvest to find what I like best in each. Happy growing, have fun.

If you want max thc, another week, going by the pics. 2 weeks will see thc dropping and cbd rising.

Would help to see the whole plant, I would say you could chop is now and be happy. most of the trichomes are cloudy and that's ideal IMO. Hard to see with the pics are they are quite blurry but if you wanted to wait I don't think much hard would come out of that. Good Luck!
