Ya really need to look at the resin glands to see if there are any amber coloured ones . It’s really hard to tell by a pic . Pretty buds though you have some reading to do

It's looking real nice, and definitely getting close. Plants noticeably plump up the last 2 weeks as the buds swell. Along with the condition of the trichomes, watching how the calyxs swell will tall a lot about maturity. I'd bet in 10-14 days that plant will look nice and ripe and be ready to chop. I find it a fairly visible change once you know what you're looking for. I stopped checking trichome color years ago because you can see they are ripe when they actually are. Most people get anxious to chop, and don't really let the plants finish properly.

Totally agree, I’ve seen way to many people ready to smoke start chopping early and trying to skip on the drying and curing process.

We've all been there. Out of smoke, and with the beautiful plant just in the other room. Its hard to let them go as long as needed some times. But I've seen the differance time and time again. The last 2 weeks make such a huge difference in the plant that its crazy to chop anything early if you don't NEED to.

Yuck! Those are aphids. They're nasty and shit all over. Physical removal is about all you can do at this point. Even then the bud is contaminated with bug juice and feces. They multiply fast. I'd cut out the infested parts of the plant and flush it down the toilet.

Lady bugs might eat them all, if you get enough of them. If I was worried about insect crap I wouldn't eat vegetables.
