beautiful buds bud, they look ripe, I bet they smell ripe, week 10 is in the ball park, but trichomes are the way to go, grab a 30X jewellers loupe, or a digital magnifier connected to phone or laptop, or just use the phone camera itself, zoom in to the glass mushroom trichomes, they will all be clear to begin, then a shift to cloudy, then to an amber colour, depending on which effect you are chasing, eg, clear with some cloudy light head high through to many amber fark me couch lock, a lot of growers including myself wait for trichs to turn cloudy and then 10 to 20% turn amber, you can take a close up pic of the trichs and chatgpt will estimate the % ratio, image search 'trichome colours' to get a better description than my rushed words, well done so far.
