Check out my banana kush trichomes, to harvest or not?

Hello friends, I have been cultivating for about 5 years now but it's been 2 years since my last harvest. In the past I used metal halide/ high pressure sodium lighting but due to circumstances I had to down scale a bit. Here's my deal:
*I'm running mixed lighting, roughly 200 actual watts of 4 foot tube fluorescents, about 200 watts of cfl's and about 150 watts of led lighting completely surrounding plants. (still not As many lumens as I would like, I plan on adding another 250 watts of led)
*Flaming banana kush, flowering time 8-9 weeks.
*today is 4 days prior to 8 weeks
I have read every article on when to harvest, trichomes color, etc but I have trouble using the jewelry loupe and I have been out the game for A couple years and want to harvest at peak time.
I have attached a few pics of the trichomes and believe I am close if not ready.
Please tell me what you think, the more I read and learn, the more I question myself.
Do you think my baby girl is ready?

Hey MidWestHigh from the looks of it you still have a decent amount of clear trichomes and I don't really see any amber at all so I would say you have another 2 weeks before harvest possibly more, but I would post some more pics in a week or so.

Oh yes, I spaced out the amber trichomes. I'll wait. Thanks for the input I will post more pics later in the week.

I would agree on giving it another couple weeks. Hard to tell with the hue of the light too.

Hey guys, thanks for input. I chopped her today at 8 1/2 weeks with mostly cloudy trichomes with the random amber. She's pretty n stinky. Now to dry and cure, and wait for my girl scout cookies and nl cheese to finish happy new year all and happy growing.
