Two plants from seed, 1 week until harvest and one looks ready

Hello!
I am growing two plants from seed and the problem i am facing is that one of them almost all the hairs are now amber, and from what i can see in my x30 loupe (not enough magnification) they are clear/cloudy but can't really see anyone being amber.

(All images not named "NotReady")
I really just need a more trained eye on this who can give me some tips
" imgur dotterino com/a/KVMFE "
Here is a few full "body" pictures and one good through the loupe
It seems like mostly cloudy or clear with one or two amber? Or am i seeing this wrong?

Also question about plant nr 2: (All images named NotReady)
This one is not ready, is there something wrong with it? or is it just that this specific plant just took longer, it just keeps growing in width but almost no trichome production... Just let it keep growing? Hoping that it will start pushing out more THC?

(also ideas how to dry one plant with only one tent...)
PS: anything wrong with the pictures or want specific ones just ask and ill provide

Thanks!

Neither one is ready imo, need another week or more like 2 at least. You'll see some brown/redish hairs on both, in most cases those should be all brown/curled when they're done. Both plants have many of those hairs that are still white. When they've all (or at least 95%) turned you can have a look at the trichs. Problem with going only by the trichs is some strains show what looks to be amber trichs early on here & there. Lighting when you take your pics can also play tricks and make some of the trichs look like there's amber. The proper/full maturity needs both factors or you're pulling too early and won't get the most potency from that particular plant/pheno.

Thanks for the info, will keep them in for the duration, growing Greenhouseseeds WW so the flower time should be 8 weeks which is in one week, guess we'll see how the not ready plant looks in a week, hopefully it sprints to the finishline otherwise i will have a drying problem!

I will wait a full week and then take a closer look again, maybe post here to get some opinion you guys are always helpful

Thanks!

This.

Wait for all pistils to turn. Wait for them to curl and lay flat. They will start to recced into the calyx. The calyx will then swell.

No problem, but I wouldn't be in a hurry (I'm thinking 2 weeks min.), think about the time it took to get them to this stage, it's a shame to pull early and not get the best out of the plant. Don't get hung up on what the breeder pack says the time should be, it's just an estimate. When growing from seed they'll vary and sometimes finish faster, but mostly they finish later than the stated times ime.
