Are they ready? I don't have a magnifier
They sure look really close!
It's hard to be certain without a microscope of some kind but you can generally use the rules of thumb:
1) how long as it been flowering?
2) is she yellowing out?
3) consuming less water?
4) red hairs
5) receding hairs
6) colour of trichomes.

They are getting close. Why not invest $6 in a cheap jewlers loop or mini microscope? If you could check trichs you could havest at the perfect time maximizing yeild and potency.

Hi Gregmeister
As greenMachinee said, six bucks and you're home free
The only reliable method is checking out the trichomes. Pistils may turn orange and she might look like she's ripe but she might still need an extra week or two. You can't be sure untill you check the trichs.
All the best.

If they feel solid when you touch them then get them cropped. Look done to me.

Oh, how very Neanderthal of you...
Even George Washington was checking trichomes with some kind of a magnifying glass. If he didn't have one, I'm sure he borrowed Ben Franklin's spectacles.

Done in one... Gerat post Pigeons420
I say this because produce harvested from high brix soil rarely turns trichromes amber. No need for a magnifier or loupe to see when she is done. There is another thread in the forums somewhere that the OP is seeing amber trichromes at 5 weeks.
Pay close attention to #'s 1-5 and verify with a loupe/magnifying glass/microscope. The total of 1-5 will give you the best picture of what's going on.
