Started Norcal Outdoor Trim/Harvest to Soon?

It seems I got a little over zealous. Planted one Sat and one Indica in 16 gal containers late April. Flowering began 1st week of August. 10 days ago I started looking at the trichs with a 30 x and they were mostly clear on both. Figuring I had a couple of weeks till harvest, I gave them both 3x more water 4 days ago and began to trim and manicure the buds on the plant while still in the soil 3 days ago.

Now with a little more looking, seems like the trichs are still more clear than anything..Very fat colas on top with a good proportion of reddish brown hairs, overall everything looks fantastic.. But I keep stressing about the trichs being clear.

Question: Should I or can I move this manicued live plant back out into the sun for a few more days and give it another big drink of H20 without screwing up potency or the harvest in general?

Probably should just go with the flow, and continue to harvest. Such a shock would reduce grow, and probably already to much done to reverse. Pictures?
Chop er down.

You can not swim against a current why fight just let it flow.

you can keep her alive to ripen but if you already removed all the fan leaves it will most likely not increase the yield.

Not concerned with the yield at this stage, I just want to make sure the trichs are at the ripest stage which seems to be almost there. Should I just keep it in the shade and let it dry out in the soil, or move it back to the sun and water a bit more? If i noticed the clear trichs 11 days ago, how far is the transistion to milky..??

how long depends on the strain but as long as the plant is alive it will continue too mature so i would put it back in the light.

I moved them from shade back to the sun for a few more days.. Also gave them a little bit of straight water. Just want the trichs to get a little more cloudy.
