Any Ready? 5 different plants (PICS!!) HELP!!!

I would think you are going to need another 2 weeks because the bud just doesn't look ready it's still going to be fluffy/airy when you dry if you cut now. In a couple weeks or so the calyx's should swell and those pistils will change color completely and actually start to reseed into the calyx. It'll look even more swollen and feel very dense if you were to touch the sticky goodness.
 
My ATF's hairs go orange at about 4-5 weeks. Don't go by hairs, go by trichs. My neighbor that's been growing for 20+ years always swears by the trichs, and none of his stuff has ever failed to rock my world. You'll start seeing that frost turn a bit amber when you look close on some strains. A pocket loupe would be better, if you can buy one. They run about $10USD. Honestly, only you'll know when it's going to give you what you want; and that requires a couple runs harvesting chunks of the same strain at different points until you find a trich ratio you like. My neighbor swears by a 40-40-20 ratio amber-cloudy-clear as a baseline to tweak off of though, if you want to get ballpark ideas.
