Help with trichomes and harvesting.

I need an opinion about my plant. I see amber trichomes, and as far as i can see - other trichomes are cloudy? Or are these clear ones? I moved the plant inside, as the weather got really bad and its raining all the time, and temperatures went down too, so i didn't want mold in it. How long until harvesting?

Hi there xknight, let me ask you something, do you know what strain that is and is it more sativa or indica dominant? Also what kind of high do you enjoy? If you like a more sit down a veg out kind of high then I would give it another 3-4 weeks but if your into a bit more "uppity" high I would harvest in the next week or so. That's just what I would do. Also if it is a sativa dominant it needs a little more time on average than an indica dominant plant. You can also do what @chemphlegm said and sample some of it, just remember, until THC dries out it is a non-psychoactive neutral PH substance and when it dries out it becomes a slightly acidic psychoactive compound, so dry it out before you sample. Btw, heat also degrades THC, so even though a quick dry in the oven will get you a better idea of what the potency is going to be like, it's still not totally accurate.
Good looking plant btw

The reason you're having trouble with Trich color is your plant is no where near ready to harvest...
All the hairs are still white and have not receded.. plus you can barely see the Calyx at all.. The amber trichs need to be on the Calyx not the leaves..
