Ready to Harvest yet? Need help reading Trichromes (Pics)

So I didn't get my 100x magnify glass until today and was worried I would 'over flower' my Wappa plant and lose all the THC so I decided to cut a little piece of bud and smoke it with a volcano vaporizer last night and was seriously fucked (in a good way) to a point where I couldn't make it to work this morning... the shit was seriously over the top!

Anyways, so my magnify glass arrived just a few hours ago and I was trying to figure out how to read the trichromes. Remember, this is my first plant, first grow, first time reading trichromes, (also first time using a vaporizer) so I need all the help i can get.

Attached are a few pictures of the bud that i smoked, the trichromes and the smaller bud and colas.

I'm not sure if the trichromes are milky enough or still too clear. I wouldn't mind waiting longer until harvest but I want this to be a flawless grow... let me know! Thanks!

My general rule of thumb is that you can cut her down once the hairs are 80% brown. We are trying to turn it into a jingle lets hope it catches

You can turn all the lights off and give her a final 2 days of pure dark to let ripen and give one final boost for size/potency.

your plant looks great! i would go a few more days and let just a few more trichs turn amber. GL

I see pretty much all clear trichs still. Wait a few more weeks what day of flower are you on and what strain?

I really like the last picture with the red in it. That thing looks so Good I could eat it!

did he not catch those ambers? looks good, i'd say u can cut, especially that last pic, swollen calyxs and receded pistils, looks good to me

You look close. I'd go 3 more days then chop. She looks great. Good job!

I'm on my 64th day of flowering, I'm actually harvesting as we speak now... gave it a final 48 hours of darkness and trimming away! Its the Wappa Strain from Paradise seeds.

Thanks Zack! I put it in a 48 hour darkness period since and when I opened up the doors earlier, the buds have grown at least 20%!
