all female plants that bud have " seed pods " or otherwise known as "Calyxes". Calyxes are the sepals of the flower they would typically form a whorl that encloses the petals and forms a protective layer around a flower in the bud. Calyxes are soon to be houses for your seeds, if your plant would undergo pollination, these is where the seeds develop
On the seventh week or so on the flowering stage, calyxes start to swell; they would be very much visible to your eye. This would be a crucial moment too for harvesting, once you see the calyxes forming you can now count the days before you can harvest your plant, your calyx now is producing the valuable trichs, it would take about five more weeks until you can harvest from the period you first saw the swelling of calyxes, this would be your most potent THC ever. In other words this time would be the perfect time to harvest and get the most potent THC from your produce. Some information concerning this is that the plant also swells up on the 8th week, so that’s seven to eight weeks to be safe.
That looks good, no problems there, can't tell what colors the leaves are but it looks like you're just a few days from harvest. Have you/do you intend to flush them before? if you do, you should probably start.
