Yes I know the magnification isn't the best but it's what I have 🤷 was told 30x would be enough. But I'm curious if this will be ready for harvest by the end of week 9 flower? I'm on day 60 as of now and I'm curious if I'll have to wait another week or so.

Let the plant stand! The more brown trichomes your cannabis plant has, the more relaxing its effect will be. This is because THC is converted to CBD over time. This property also makes it highly recommended for pain treatment. If you harvest the plant with a low amount of brown trichomes, it will be stronger and more "heady." Why you should let your plant stand: Relaxing effect: Due to the higher CBD and CBG content from the brown trichomes, the cannabis has a relaxing and calming effect. This is ideal for use with pain, anxiety, or insomnia. Fewer side effects: CBD is less psychoactive than THC and therefore less likely to cause side effects like anxiety, paranoia, or heart racing. Improved flavor: Cannabis with brown trichomes is said to provide a milder and more aromatic smoking experience. Conclusion: If you're looking for a relaxing and pain-relieving cannabis experience, harvesting your plants with brown trichomes is a good choice. Important to note: There is no scientific consensus on how much the color of trichomes affects the potency of cannabis. However, many experienced cannabis growers and users believe that brown trichomes produce more potent and relaxing cannabis. The best way to find out what works best for you is to experiment. Harvest your plants at different stages of trichome maturity and observe the effects on you.

They look nice and milky, but tbh the only way to sure is to get a pocket microscope or magnifying glasses

If your main question is: "is the plant ready for harvest now" The answer is yes. Harvesting is MAINLY personal preference. The trichomes break down into CBN after awhile. Anyways, most people harvest when they're mostly cloudy with a little bit of amber. Again...all preference. Chop some early, chop some late. You decide what you like and do that in the future.
