Was given a pack of seeds from a friend, supposed to be white widow autoflower from ilgm.com, only my third grow and I'm not sure about the trichomes being ready. I have two plans both germinated 2/11, any input would help I would appreciate it guys, thanks. ( First 6 photos are one plant the last 4 my other plant)

I appreciate the feedback, I just can't help notice if you click the pictures and go to the fifth one ( first plant) and the 9th and the 10th pic (second plant) the trichomes look amber all over and especially the more red haired one looks like it's receding, and most the hats are amber. Let me know what you think thanks man.

The plant itself is still immature. You don't measure by trichomes until the plant has retracted pistils and bulked the buds. I'd say you have an easy 2 more weeks. Also what happened to your fan leaves? Without fans it slows maturation.
 
Looks to be mostly cloudy at this point. The amber you're seeing is on sugar leaves. The trichomes mature faster on leaves. Do you have a microscope or loupe? You want to get a close up of the bud itself and you'll really be able to tell. The plants still have some swelling up to do. Nice frosty gals though good job! Hang in there trust me another week or 2 and they will be nice bulky buds and ready to go!

Thanks that helps a lot. And tiger bloom happened, nute burn haven't used it since. I have a third plant I'll have to post, it's a little behind and smaller but nice looking buds and healthier leaves.

Yeah that one pictures through a loop like a jewelry one let me see if I can snap up a couple better ones when I get home, appreciate the feedback.
 
Update. Been a week since I posted, I just took pictures most under a jewelers loupe. I marked them plant #1, 2, and 3, plant 1 seems to be harvest ready, not sure about plant 2? . I know the third one isn't ready but if anyone can tell off the pictures how long until harvest, much appreciated. I'm ready to harvest plant 1 and 2 today if possible! Any feedback helps thanks guys.

I think you have at least another week. Unfortunately you have dying leaves retracting into the buds and virtually no fans. I'd take them now and reboot. Others may have other suggestions but that's what I'd do if they were mine.

If you choose to leave them running I'd remove all dead and dying material before it enters a bud.
 
What amber? I see a bunch of white hairs and cloudy trichs. I would give them another week, but I'm never in a hurry. As long as there are not bugs or rot, I'd say let them bulk up. If the dying leaves are causing some mildew or rot, yank them. If you are not using tiger bloom, then what are you feeding them? What is your EC? What is your runoff EC?

#1 your inside harvest window. You could chop now if you need the space or you could wait another 5-7 days it'll still put on weight.
#2 & #3 still another week to be in harvest window. But you need to snip the dead leaves asap and make sure you have plenty of airflow so it doesn't lead to any mold or rot issues.
Looking good great job!

Thanks, been told to leave them and let them fall on their own Ive even given it a little shake and they haven't fallen off. Yeah that sounds good I'll probably end up doing that bud, thanks

Thanks man still new to this only my second grow? I do have adequate air flow and like I said in other comment, other people have told me to leave the leaves on don't pull any off till they fall off so I'm still learning but thanks. I have five feminized Skittles seeds right now growing too still seedlings. Definitely post them soon to get your guys input I appreciate it.

I've had to take mine early to avoid bud rot (indoors too LOL). I also just took my last table likely a week or two early because I just had to have that space. Every run is humbling to one degree or another! At least that's been my experience. Your buds look good and I'll bet you're gonna love em.
