Im definitely going to wait til i have 70 percent change hope its not 2 weeks lol thank you
Why hair change
Where did u hear this
Trics tell the story, and when no white hairs are showing is a sign, not sure where the 70% came from
I also agree easily 2 more weeks

Depending on what your growing, 86 days can be quite reasonable. The Jack Herer I grew a few years ago spent 90 days in flower before the trichomes went amber enough to harvest. Can you get in closer with a magnifier loupe or micro lens to check the color of the individual trichomes? Here's a pic that I took when they started to get cloudy.

I just harvested 2 Jacks this weekend that called for 7-9 weeks. I flipped July 4th so roughly 11 weeks is when they finally turned 10-20% amber trics. It was about 2 weeks after the whites pistols stopped producing. I’m with 2-3 weeks. After the white pistols stop producing, start checking in natural light. Sugar leafs with go amber first, but you want to look at the actual bud.

Step back away from the loppers. lol
Whats this hair count you speak of?
Well its a week later, you should take some more pics and we can better advise.
Ripeness does have something to do with pistol color and calyx shape but for a new grower you need to look at trichome color for clear - cloudy - amber.
Some strains don't get amber but all cloudy is a good sign to harvest. You aren't that far off in a few of your pics. Looks like you have more than 1 plant so they can finish at different times. Mine always do. Even the same strain from clones they can be a few days to a week apart.
