Are these ready?

Okay so this is a CBD Critical Mass by CBD Crew, known to have fat buds. The CBD Crew site says 8 weeks flower and I've already hit that. I'd say the Trichomes are 30% Amber, 45% milky, and 25% clear.

The reason I'm a little worried is because I got mixed up when counting flowering days and wasn't able to flush.

Also, the buds just don't seem fat enough. But that could be due to other reasons, possibly root bound? Any way here are some pics. Even though my Trichomes are like that, do you think this is mature? How much longer if so?

I used a 30x, in order to get a 60x I'd probably have to order it online.
Cool, you shld consider a 60x for your next grow. Fully amber means they're past their peak so ideally you wanna pull em when their milky, but if you think they can fatten up in the next few days then just wait a bit.

In my experience, the seed bank's information will give you a flowering time that's usually not accurate. I usually have to wait at least an extra 2-4 weeks for the buds to ripen. Most of the time you're probably not getting the phenotype they are describing anyway, depending on the seed bank.
Your buds definitely don't look ready yet based on the color of the pistils so the buds will probably swell more. Also the fact that the leaves are damaged means it may have affected your yield. To me, the more amber the better (especially if you're wanting to avoid anxiety), so waiting an extra few weeks will be worth it.
