Do you have a 60 - 100x magnifying thing?

If not your just guessing.

Take a smaller bud off dry it out in the oven and smoke it. Will give you a glance of where they are.

Well this just kinda made my head spin. You're gonna have to sort this out.

If you know enough about like.. weed, you can chop when it "looks" ready in terms of your desired effects. I like to harvest when my plant resembles an over-ripe banana that I'd still eat (or throw in a smoothie). It's personal preference. Uh... read more. But I guess, wait until at least half of your hairs are browning and there is no new growth. At 9+ weeks you should be 0-4 weeks out. GL

without a loop try noticing a drastic swell in individual calyxs. If they begin to then shrink back chop. Not as good as using a loop or combining both methods. Good luck.

Here ya go ! ! !
First hairs will recede back into bud, there will be no new white hairs for a couple of days, then the next thing hairs recede into bud...
ALL this time Calyxes are swelling and look like they have a double size seed inside...
Then you check for any amber tric's... my first sign of amber tric's I harvest...
Note: Plant will make clear tric's every day until the day you harvest...
after harvest, plant continues to mature, and clear could turn milky/cloudy...
and some cloudy/milky ones could turn amber/tea colored......
Good Luck man...

Okay so it's not ready because most of the hairs are still white n are not receding back into the buds

Looks like she is still putting out new stigma. The erect, white stigma are a sign that she is still going.

Did you stop feeding? Looks like she is dying a but prematurely.
