I have a few close ups of my current plant. I am just looking for a few experienced eyes to help me gain knowledge on what exactly to look for at a good harvest time in what I currently have. Am I seeing what's considered enough milky and not clear. Are the pistils looking right. If I'm definitely seeing some amber every once in a while is it time. Not the best close ups but hopefully I can get a few people to assist me. Thank you in advance.

If you look at the buds, youll see white pistils still. You want like 95% or better of them to be orangish/brown before you look at trichs. The close up shots are kinda hard to see the trichs in too so im saying a week but it could be more hard to say really

You should aim for some amber/golden trichomes. How much of a percentage is personal preference. 10%-15% is what i aim for.
If you never did it before, i would suggest to check the plant on a daily basis to see how it changes. Also keep in mind that the buds on the top will be faster than the bottom ones. The colour of a trichome changes from clear -> milky -> amber -> dark brown/black. You wait until you see some amber.
Posting a pic of my Cashew Kush. On this pic you can see clear, milky and amber trichomes.
Not really any amber trichromes in sight from your photos and as other have said you usually want more orange hairs at the time of harvest but this may also vary from a phenotype to another
leaves extremities bottom left of your first photo seem to show a few lite amber trichromes, but what you usually want is 5% to 30% amber trichromes inside the buds, trichromes of sugar leaves usually turn amber a little earlier than trichromes inside the buds.
