Those look close to me. You might be able to take those down in a few days.
A buddy of mine gave me an analogy on taking his outdoor down in terms of fruit & vegetables.
You wouldn't let a tomatoe ripen on the plant to the point it got soft, by the time it got to the grocery store shelf it would be mush. To pick slightly prior to peak ripeness it hits the store shelf still firm, which makes sense.

Bi Polar knows...and makes total sense to me.
To answer your question in a bit more detail...I cannot give you a time frame but I can give you some tips on what to look for in harvestable colas.
A combination of several factors; The pistils (hairs) should be mostly reddish and have withdrawn back into the calyces, the calyces should be swollen, the colas themselves will be firmer. The trichomes will be mostly cloudy with some ambers. Harvesting alone on Trichome appaearances is a preference. But get a jewelers loupe and check your trichomes. Break off a Calyx and check the trichomes on the Calyx.
Lastly the buds themselves will be full and look old and ripe!
You have at least 3 weeks left!
Good luck
Cheers

Once you get some experience under your belt, you will never need any scopes for trich examinations. You will be able to just see it and feel it, every time. If you love this hobby, or in my case "Career" you will for sure have the a heart to heart, spirit to spirit connection in your heart and you will just know these things, just like we know our children's needs and love.
You will see the readiness in the color, in the texture, in the smell, in the trichs, in the touch.
There is true love in this relationship for me.
