Today is 8wks into budding. The trichs are cloudy and there are alot of red hairs. Im not sure exactly what strain they are but it is definitely sativa dominant.

Should i chop them down today?

Wow your stems are red as hell. Regardless, I would definitely say you still ahve some time left on those. Give it like 2 more weeks, it looks light and airy as far as the buds go. Usually you can tell when it's time to harvest, the buds are really fat and heavy and you won't see any real growth for a few days. Get a microscope or jeweler's loupe to be 100% sure you're harvesting at the right time.

I agree. If it is stativa domiate than it can take 10-12 weeks usually. don't harvest to early. Its a terrble waste.

i say 2-3 weeks, about 20-40% of your hairs are orange, supposed to be about 80 at least.
also, get a loop to look at trichomes

Look at the FAQs. If you get a good bit of trim try the DIY honey oil extractor. HO is he shit.

Or ice hash.

search it up.

Good luck
