get a jewelers loupe and check out the trichomes. Personally, I look for mostly cloudy and like less than 10% clear trichs

Lol that plant is not ready to harvest, it's still growing bud it's completely covered in fresh stigma and new calyxs. It's got minimum 3 weeks left. It needs to finish growing the buds, and then ripen. If you harvest now you WILL have reduced yields and quality.
Let your plants properly finish maturing don't cut hem early thinking your gonna get some drastically different high. It will be different.....you won't be as high lol.
Seriously though I'm not saying over ripen the plant but that's not as easy to do as new growers think. You want 100% cloudy trichomes for max potancy, but that wont usually happen for various reasons. So we just try to get close.

I'm around here not on other social media. I've been around RIU since 2008 for the most part. I took a break the last couple years but I'm back. I'm always glad to help if I can and I'll tell you if I can't

Don’t change anything and run her out til fully matured.
More and more pistils will recede and turn color , she will swell as buds ripen.
Leaves will continue to fade as the weeks pass.
Patience will still be an issue when you chop , dry and cure.
