How long in your opinion?

probably 2-3, but maybe upwards of 6 or 7, what strain is it?. the pistils are mostly white and your calyxes haven't swollen yet. I don't buy into the whole trich test thing, it helps but its only tool i think, it doesn't give you the whole picture. wait until your buds look done, then chop chop. trust me you'll know, it wont be a question. You'll see the buds themselves start to change, not grow really, but the calyxes will start getting bigger, the hairs will recede into the bud and the whole plants will start to take on an almost golden sheen. your calyxes are thin and almost flat, when ready they will look almost like tiny green tears. not completely round, just fat. you should have have a 1-2 week window for optimal potency during this same time so done sweat it too much. if you're still unsure you can harvest a nug and quick dry it and check to see if your likey, just keep in mind a quick dried bud wont taste as good or be as potent as the real deal.

No matter what when to harvest is subjective, but my plants have never been as good when harvested with mostly white hairs alone, ignoring the rest. As long as you have mostly white hairs id wait, unless the plants been through a lot of stress then things will all be different. Looks like most breeders recommend 10-12 weeks. And my seeds always go a lttle longer than the breeder recs.

That's a great picture! Mine are at that point also, so this is good advice.
Good luck!

Think it's going to happen this week end, some leafs turning yellow and they are pretty fragrant so close wouldn't want to lose them.

Looks like a couple of weeks more to me too, but better to chop a little early than lose it all.
I use a scope on the trics, gauge the overall appearance, pistil color etc. I've found that when I think it's ready, it really needs a week or two more. But I'm indoors so..

Not ready...2 or 3 weeks. Take molasses syrup or honey mix a table spoon mix with water and water it. It's going to start swelling up very soon and start looking like a bud. And it will also separate the small leaves as it swells up making it easier for trimming. Also you will have mostly brown hairs instead of white. Mine are a couple days ahead of you and just started getting 10% Brown hairs. I know I have 10 to 14 days minimum

This C -99 is 90% - 95% brown hairs now, I was looking at it under scope & the ball at the top of the tiny thc crystals are 90% of them are 50% cloudy(at the lower half of the ball at the top) an 50% clear at the top of the ball. make any sense ? The above pic is not what I am asking about, I have no pics to show you... sorry...
