First grow, not sure when to pick buds

this is my first grow so i'm not quite sure when to clip the buds. There's red hairs all over the bud but i'm not sure if there's enough. I tried to take some pics but my camera sucks. Sorry for the horrible pics but i guess it's better than nothing. Are they good to go or should i wait longer?

do not pull yet, THESE PLANTS LOOK LIKE THEY NEED A FEW MORE WEEKS. sorry for the caps but you do not want all of that work to go to 5 bluntz. it is a hard thing to gauge when you are growing and may or may not have buds to smoke. i can say this...screw the hairs. i have had buds that had totally red hairs over half of the plant that had reletively clear crystals. you need a magnifier...$10... this will tel you when to pull. when you have 30% amber colored crystals you should pull to get a nice "stuck on the couch" high. keep in mind the nugz will shrink to 50% size during drying/curing.
