How far into flower are you, 5-6 weeks? They appear to be filling in nice, but they are not chunky or swollen yet. That yellowing is normal mid to late flowering, but they should get a lot frostier towards harvest and the calyx's will swell. There is still too many white hairs also. I'm guessing 3-4 weeks to go. Maybe more depending if its sativa dominant, or if you prefer more amber trichomes. It might only be a couple weeks till its ready if it suddenly chunks out in the final week or two, hard to say with limited info about your grow. Seeing how many white hairs are on it I'm fairly sure its going to be at least a few weeks.
That's pretty bad. I literally suggested it might be anywhere from 2-4 weeks.
I kind of want to see a pic from farther away even, to see the plant structure.
Or a pic from above the plant.

This is one reason you should be doing a grow log here or wherever. Keep everything posted like when you started your grow, how long they vegged, when you flipped to bloom. If you have a grow log going then you would be able to go back and look at the exact date that you flipped to bloom. then we would all know how many weeks in you are and be better informed to suggest how many weeks to go till harvest. Keep info about the strain you are growing in your grow log too, so everyone knows if this is indica or sativa. Hopefully you know what strain this is and there should be some info on how many weeks it is supposed to bloom.

One way to make a log for your grow is to find the right section for your thread, if its indoor gardening or maybe a section for grow logs I can't recall. But just make a new thread titled 600w White Widow or whatever you want to name your grow thread. Then just post the info about your grow in that thread. List things such as your strain, nutes, lighting, post some of the info from your logs at home into the thread to give others a better idea about your grow so we can follow along. Whenever you change or do something different, make a post in your grow thread. For my grow log I try and upload some pic's, video, or comment at least once a week or more. You could also keep track of any problems with your grow and what you did to remedy the issue. I'm sure you already know and get the idea of keeping logs, but I;m just saying that this the forum is a great tool and place to upload and keep track of things. Once you are more active on the forums, and become a well known member you can then open a grow journal. I'm not so well informed about how to properly utilize the grow journal features so I prefer to just keep updating things in the grow thread I have going that I'm calling a grow log. If you look at my avatar you can see a little box with a B in the upper left corner. You can click that and it will go to my grow journal. Like I said I prefer my grow thread/log though so I provided a link to that thread from my grow journal.

I was guessing 5-6 weeks in because of how well they appear to be filling in from one bud site to the next. Mine look fairly similar but I'm growing Blue Dream and I am 4 weeks in, but mine haven't filled in like that just yet so I figured you might be a week or two ahead of me, I'm also running 600 watts. I did do some super cropping though and that probably slowed down this grow a bit as the plants recover. I'm not so sure if that amount of yellowing is normal for White Widow at 4 weeks. I could see if it was 5-6 weeks. Maybe someone else will chime in. 1/2 gal pots seem a little small to me, I hope its not root bound.

Looking pretty good. Still might not be ready. I see a lot of white hairs still. If you don't already have one you should get a microscope.
You will want to flush now if you haven't already. Then keep checking the trichomes daily with the microscope. The last things to look for are
cloudy heads on the trichomes, maybe some amber heads, the calyxes should swell soon, and more hair should change color by then.
Maybe a week, or sooner. Hard to say without actually being there and looking at it with a microscope. If you can hold out till the calyxes swell you should be good. Almost looking like the calyxes might have already gone through a swelling. Look at it with a microscope.

I suggest getting a jewelers loop and checking out your trichomes. That the best way to know when they are ready. I harest at 30% amber trichs

my rule is.... wait till i think it's ready then wait a week
and sometimes another (my grow area is on the cool side 60-75) so i have learned to be patient
