Good Question, there are more white hairs then brown hairs,
also it looks like the buds have not completely formed cuz no foxtailing yet
and are u growing under CFL?
it looks like it cuz of the single pin leaves :woohoo:

Definitely give it another 7 days. Look for the trichs to start clouding up. I like more of a head buzz so I wait till they are 30% 40% cloudy, if u like the couch lock stone then Let them Amber up

i would go weeks more that will give 50% cloudy 50% amber
 
I harvest my cannabis plants by trichome maturity. You need a 30x jewelers loupe to see the trichomes and judge when to harvest. Most people harvest from 5%-30% amber trichomes. Harvest at 5%-15% amber trichomes for a "head high" energetic effect and harvest at 30%-50% amber trichomes for a "body stone" sedative effect strain dependent.

Not even close.


The cool thing about this site is every question has been answered in a sticky somewhere. Here in the FAQ area is a great post linking to everything you need to know... EVERYTHING
How to Grow Cannabis - Everything You Need to Know!

In there I found in about 20 seconds a great explination of why if you want a stoney narcotic effects you must wait.
When should I harvest my plants?

And even faster in the same post I found a link to this great one.
What are Trichomes? Trichome 101
 
I would add the reason I say not even close is you can tell by the shape of the flowers that you should not even be looking at the trics yet for this purpose. The shape of the buds will let you know when it is time to start looking (unless you have a stunting issue). Those flowers have not filled in yet. After bud formation comes bud stacking and then filling in. After that comes resin top out. So after the buds have filled in you can start looking but you still have time if you want it to be potent.
