Couple pics of a mid level nug on a 5' Gator Breath thats looking pretty good. Under scope, its some big ol'mushroom heads with several showing up ambering. Should I whack her?

Its looks like they still neek a week I think. Make sure you look on the buds and not the sugar leaves while checking trichomes! The trichomes on the fan leaves turn amber much more early and could confuse you. Good luck for the rest of your grow and harvest

No, this plant still needs about 3 weeks to fully mature. Once there are 98-99% brown pistils/hairs, you will be entering the harvest zone.

Darkening pistils can be a sign things are wrapping up but it's not fool proof, some strains will stay white late into flower. Most agree the trichomes are the most accurate judge of ripeness. Check multiple areas and make sure you're looking at the trichomes on the buds themselves and not the sugar leaves, sugar leaves tend to amber up sooner.

I think you have some more time left in it. Trichomes, pistil dryback and how much its drinking are all keys to determining when to chop/wack it.

Of what I’ve seen I would give them maybe 2 weeks more because they don’t look mature in my eyes. Still much white hairs and the buds don’t look so thick. But a microscope and watch for the thricomes you want milky thricomes and like 10/20% amber thricomes and almost no clear . Good luck, give it some more time! Patience is the key 😍
