Need a consensus - ready to harvest?

Hey all,
This is my first grow. I never actually thought I'd make it this far, but I did!
Anyway, I was trying to figure out how close I am to being able to chop this lady down. I don't have a jewelers magnifying glass to look at the trichomes so Im going based off the orange vs white hair ratio.

With my eyes its just about 50/50 orange to white. Is this good? Or would a 100% orange cola be best?
This one was a Nebula Haze fem. From seed to now, its been about 6 months. I think her growth slowed because temps were getting to about mid 50's here. I did have a seedling heat mat under the container I had her growing in, not sure if it helped or not though.

This was a hempy bucket, 100% perlite. I just did the lucas formula with Maxibloom. No phd or ppm adjustments. My faucet water had a ph of about 8.

Anyway, Should I wait couple more weeks for a bigger ratio of orange hairs?

Yea let it go till there is no more white hairs. Looks like a feb harvest to me, maybe in the first week but post more pics then
 
It also looks like your still feeding it nitrogen, make sure you have completly stopped nitrogen feeding, give it a straight water one or 2 times in a row to lew the plant chew on whats built up tjen hit it with a good flowering nute dose, then straight water the last 2 times. At the end of those wet dry cycles you should be good to harvest it.
 
Hey everyone. Just thought I’d come back and share what I harvested. I choped Feb 23, let her dry for about 12 days.
Doing a 24 hour closed / 24 hour burp for the first week.

*** if you know or can recommend a better/correct way please leme know.

Anyway, I appreciate all the help!

12 day dry? How did you dry? What was the temp and humidity? That’s quite a long dry hopefully you didn’t overdry, I’d say burp for just like 10 mins a day tbh, your answer may change my opinion though? o_O
 
I hung it up on hangers, left it in my garage with a fan circulating air (not directly on it).

Yea, I kept reading about “until stem snaps” but the leaves (I left some fan leaves) were getting crispy.

The humidity was maybe 50-75? It rained kind of a lot during those 12 days but I checked everyday for mold. Temps were from 50s to 70s.

I didnt have any fancy ways to control humidity or temp besides a fan and opening the window
 
Ok so it was dried in cool rather humid conditions with no Mold?? Ok good, in that case your weed probably still has a fair amount of moisture left after 12 days so it’s not over dried, I don’t believe in the stem snap thing, a bend and an inside snap is what you want. You want to get a mini hygrometer from eBay on the cheap and throw it in the jar and see what it reads after an hour, between 60% and 65% is perfect, as you stand I’d say burp it for an hour at a time maybe every two days or so BUT get the hygrometer as soon as you can, that will guide you along, if it’s in the 70% range let it sit out more till you get to 60-65%, if it’s below 55% it may well be naffed, you may able to re moisturise with a boveda pack from eBay to get it back to the 60-65% range but it may not continue to cure.
