Not quite ready based on what I’m seeing here, but it’s hard to see from these pictures. Try a 30x jeweler’s loupe to get the right zoom level for trichomes. It might not work with your camera but that’s ok.
Cloudy is a good indicator you’re getting close. Look for about 20-30% of them to turn amber/red in color to know when it’s time to chop.
Also don’t forget you want to be flushing nutrients out with just pure water for at least 3-5 days before harvesting to get the best taste. In an ideal world I’d look to start flushing at around 15-20% amber, and be harvesting at around 30-35%.
Don’t worry about getting it perfect, because that pretty much never happens. These are all just general guidelines. Good luck finishing out!
Thanks!
