Judging by fullness and hair alone, all I can say is the the white dwarf is closer than the bubblelicious. Hard to say without seeing the trichs, but maybe 2-3 weeks for Nirvana and 1-2 weeks for Buddha. But I'm still a noob, just throwing in my guess.

hairs mean nothing in relation to harvest. imo nobody cantell you a correct answer without micros of the trichs.

I used to think one sided like that, then I started to watch the plant as a whole, leaves, trichs and pistils. It's more about the whole plant being ripe as whole then just any one component. There is a great thread by Zeus on here that should be stickied IMHO but politics. If I had to look at one or the other I would choose the trichs but again it's not the only factor like I used to think.

looking nice, id say harvest when you see some amber hairs poppin up, id take a close up and count them, i try to go for like a 50-50 ratio of milky and amber, lower fan leaves yellow when they're close harvest too.

i hope u meant amber trichs, hairs are not an indicator of when to harvest. ive been at this for years and never look at hairs. trich color is final determiner.

I notice that all the people tell you that you should use a jewelry loupe to notice the trics & everything. I wonder how the big weed producers handle the situation. They keep a close eye on each plant. It has to be a visual thing about the plants which makes you think that the plant is done. Other than the trics. Just my 2 cents.
One of my autos plants had the same look for ~2 weeks almost. No change, nothing. The same bud size, the same green leaves, the same trics ( mix of clear & milky ). I just followed my instinct with them

as some have said, the apparent ripeness of the plant when viewed as a whole is much more usefull as a tool for judging when to harvest than it is often given credit for. people wanna believe that better technology must have the best answer all the time
but they should remind themselves that their human reasoning skills are much more advanced than a few convex pieces of plastic or glass arranged in a row (i.e. microscope)
for instance, upon observing most plants which are grown in a tall space with only light coming from the top, it is usually the case that the lower popcorn nugs ripen just a little slower than the rest of the plant.
this means that it actually pays off to harvest the top of a plant showing the ripest buds first, and allow the lower nugs to fatten up a bit in the full light for a few days or even a week.
you end up getting much more from your ladies than you would have gotten by just scoping the trichomes on the main cola, seeing some amber, and chopping the whole plant.

like many subjects, people will complicate things like harvest. hairs do have plenty to do with harvest time, if theres more amber hairs, youll be getting more of a couchlock high than anything due to the THC degrading to CBD/CBN, white hairs means its still THC and you will probably get a more racy, energetic high, come curing time you can let them sit longer and let the THC degrade to CBD/CBN, although letting them run longer is better for trichs and overall potency, many have different opinions on what they believe to be time for harvest, so a big part of this is how you like your bud.
you dont need a microscope to determine these things, yellowing leaves usually appear around harvest time given the fact you dont feed them nitrogen up to harvest, this can effect taste in the bud. like monkeybones said, the more exposed parts of the plant and the closest to the light will be getting most of the energy, so chopping these first and letting the lower branches run is a good idea, i dont do this because im usually training them to grow equivalent buds, the goal is to keep them all at the same height so you dont let other get ahead. it looks like plenty of those hairs are still white, so like others said, let em run a little bit longer.

yea i agree, my first was bad too.
id say start cutting off nutrients and reducing how much you water, 2 weeks id cut probably, (after 3 days no water, and 1 day no light)

As long as new white hairs grows like on the first pic then it is not time even to look at trichs. A week, but I would say 2 weeks more and they are ready...
