those look like they are getting pretty close. Of course the best way to tell is with a microscope. Do you have one of these?

Radio shack has a scope for 12 bucks if you plan on growing any more its worth the investment I just bought mine
you don't need a microscope for that.
you have a week left and your pistils should curl and die at most. like lordemo said.
you plant should look less green and more orange from a distance.
A trick I learnt is removing all the leaves 3 days before chopping. that way if you break up the resin glands they have time to recover and the stress makes the plant throw even more. its pretty easy to do as well.
If you want to know how your trichomes are you can just use a high resolution digital camera (at least 5M pixel, which is considered pretty low these days) and take a close-up shot using the macro feature.
Then you just expand the picture on your computer and if the image is sharp enough you should be able to tell exactly how your trichomes are.
The higher the resolution - the easier.
When taking the picture make sure your in focus (half click for focus and the other half to take the picture) and that your camera is steady. Idealy you camera would be on a chair \ table \ tripod \ something solid.
12$ for watching trichomes 2-3 times a year? thats stupid.
