Those are just trichomes as they mature and oxidize. Dark amber resin color.

those look done to me, but that's inconclusive as those also look like they're on leafs, which mature faster than trichomes on flowers. Gotta look at the trichomes on the flowers to confirm ripeness. Bet she's ready though if the leafs are looking that mature.

Im a chronic. I smoke all day. People throw around words like "couch lock" and "energetic". I have no idea what they're talking about. So yes. You can harvest now. Or you can wait until more of the leaves change color. It's your personal preference. It's pretty much done gaining weight

I think most say 70% cloudy and 30% amber trichomes (on the bud) are the ideal conditions for harvesting but as @Ponky said, this is all personal preference.

The glands go from clear to milky to amber and then dark brown. As they interact with oxygen. Changing the characteristics of the smoke. You're in the window now. And it could go longer if you prefer it that way. This is what you expect to see.

Welcome to the FARM!

If you're not sure what you're really looking for in your "meds", you could cut some "sample" buds, cure them, and test smoke them and see if that's about what you're looking for in your plants, etc...Please, do keep us posted and Best of Luck!

I finished harvesting today and now they are drying, I don't have an opinion on that yet everything looks good
