Didn't say to harvest now. I go by trichs and relative flowering time to the strain.

A good month at least

Yes. I don't think you need another month from the pics, but after two weeks re-evaluate.
I know some here are trying to help but you have to resist the flushing, trich and breeders timetable advice.
Right now you have a lot of leaf relative to calyxes. Let them swell. It's not just about weight. It's about ripeness and quality.
Your buds have to swell up before you even think about looking at the trichomes.
And not trichomes on the leaves. Trichomes on the swollen calyxes.
The leaves get trichomes first and they turn first. But you don't smoke the leaves.
Be patient. You'll be rewarded with better qualilty, more bud and great experience for next round.

That chart is garbage, shouldn't be used, and is one of the reasons many chop early.

It's bad information and people will harvest much too early if they follow it.LOL, tell us what you really think

That right there. There's no way a plant is done when 40% of the pistils have darkened. That website is nothing but old cut and paste stuff from all over the internet. Some is accurate some is not. That chart falls into the "Not Accurate" category.

The chart gives you three options and the reasons why.It's bad information and people will harvest much too early if they follow it.

Ask us again in 2.5 weeks. In the meantime, keep the plant alive.

I would wait at least 2 weeks probably three to cut them down there Rock hard but all those pistols will recede into the bud and it’ll still swell some

They look good.
If you have flowers falling over you're doing something very well.
I'm still leaning towards two weeks.
All the best!
