Ways to go, still. Pickup a loupe or pocket scope. At least 60x. Checkout your trichomes. It's a personal preference, but I like to chop when I first start seeing amber.

ITS ALL RELATIVE TO HOW PATIENT YOU ARE :)
Some smoke the growing tips, whilst others will not cut them till 80% of the trichromes are brown.
the longer the better up to a point, as the thc will pile on in those latter days if your patient :) well worth the wait, try 1 and see. :) Rudi

personaly id wait till the tric's are half brown at least. you could harvest some lower nugs to see you through. but patients is a must and benaficial to boot.

so if i harvest the big fat bud on the top the rest of the plant will continue to mature ?
yes. looks pretty dam close to me, wait a week or dont you will have some nice smoke there...the bottom buts will mature better without the top cola at they will become the top of the plant and the plants highest priority.

Yup.

Cannabis is resilient as fuck bro, and like a bell pepper plant, if you cut off a ripe piece of fruit (ie, the buds) the plant is going to keep on truckin'.

There's quite a few harvest threads here on RIU that are excellent, and discuss the visual signs of maturity, and how THC degradation can be tracked by observing the tric colors.

Best of luck.

iTS TAKEN ALL THIS TIME FOR MY COMP TO DOWNLOAD THE PICTURES. Having seen the colours I would say your ok to do so, but as GLM said, lower unproductive (never could understand that) nugs first, then gently teazing bud from limb over a period of time. 5 mins with my lack of patiense :)
