Help 1st time grower would you say these are ready?

I'm sure this is posted a lot so I apologize but it's my first time and I'm a bit anxious/wanting to do this the best I can. I'm thinking these are pretty much ready to chop but would really appreciate some advice from those more experienced! Thanks in advance!

No Mate - wait until the pistils turn orange
Early bud looks like crystals, then white, then darker
I harvest white, yours are still too clear by any standards
The dreaded 'couple of weeks'

What Roy said.....Patience will pay off. Nice looking Ladies!

Thank you guys for the help!! I realized yesterday when I was thinking about it that the microscope pictures I had taken from lower buds not thinking. I took a few of some top ones and I'm seeing some amber. Should I still wait to see if they pack on more weight/swell more? Thanks in advance

Like Roy, I don't even start checking trichomes with a loop until all the white hairs have darkened and then crinkled in.

You've still got time and she'll be a better harvest if you give her the time.

Ok I just read that somewhere else too! I was confused about that because I thought you just automatically checked thrichomes towards the end regardless of how it looked. Good to know! thank you all for your help!!! I appreciate it a lot I'll let her keep going!!
