Looks to me as if the tri's are split between clear and milky, What week of flowering are you at? it looks like it could be a week or two still to go...
Personally I'd leave it a little longer until I see about 20-30% of the tri's turned amber and the rest are milky. Have you got a jewellers loop or magnifying glass? You can then check the tri's out and pick the right time to harvest....

No problem buddy! With the loop you can be absolutely be sure as when to cut and achieve your desired level of THC and the effect from the smoke. Worst thing would be to cut those beauties down earlier and loose both potency and weight, as they'll really fill out in the final weeks. Happy growing man!

You have a few weeks to go, don't bother with the loupe just yet. There's still a fair amount of white pistils that haven't colored up yet and the ones that are haven't retracted much. Those buds will likely fatten up a bit too. Post more pictures in 2 weeks.
Trichs only tell you when in the harvest window to cut the plant. The signs that the plant is in the harvest window have nothing to do with trichomes.
1. Not pushing out lots of new white pistils.
2. Over 80% of the pistils have colored up and retracted into the calyxes.
3. The calyxes have swollen
4. You waited a week or two after 1 through 3
5. Start checking trichs on calyxes, not leaves.
