As nuke stated, check the trichs... I would guess you have a few amber trichs. I would chop it man. ENJOY!!!

NO AMBER!!! Imo, you'll want to chop RIGHT UP to the point of the very first sign of amber.
Amber trichomes = CBN, which is not necessarily a desirable chemical (It'll put you to sleep). CBN is often confused for CBD (which is good and relieves pain).
Problem is though it is hard to time this out precisely. I'd chop a few days prior to the first sign of an amber trich just to be safe.
But yeah, Bluntski is right. Go ahead and chop her down now dapio and enjoy!!

DONT CHOP!!! Fight the urge dude and let them go a little longer. I have a few grows under my belt and the weight of the buds usually doesn't come on til late, late flower. Let em go til most of the hairs are amber and just cut the top main colas, try to chop so that what's left over is somewhat level and drop your light as close as you can to the remaining buds. I guarantee those "loose lower buds" will fatten up nicely.
Key to success is to be patient, unless your running a perpetual harvest and need to prep for the next grow.

dick head "friend" swiped my microscope about a month ago. Just when I got my hygrometer for curing, thought I had all the gadgets *face palm*. Anyways I will be slowly harvesting this lady i'll post some after shots here. It was a pretty interesting grow 150W Scrog and it was nearly stealth, I impressed myself.

they look awesome but i agree with waiting, the longer you wait the heavier the high, bigger the buds, plus hairs r mostly white, i know you cant tell exactly when to harvest just by hairs but id say theres still time left

Its up to the grower to find out what he likes. Cbn might be undesireable to you, but some people do in fact like the feeling cbn gives. Also some trichs will amber prematurely, you really shouldnt chop at the first sign of amber.

Kush are 9-10 weeks I would wait, and it looked like is re-vegged since you got what looks like new growth on the top, hence the white hairs on the top of your main cola. but im a noob still so.... but same thing happened to my Vanilla Kush.
Good luck and it looks great bro
