Why, I think I'll do just that! In the meantime, I did make a thread on how to tell whether or not the plants are done without using a loupe. ;)

I'd say they need more time. Those trichs still look crystal clear. My understanding is that if you do cut them, it'll still get you high, but the high is edgier(and based on what I read here it's not a good feeling necessarily). I can't be 100% though, my understanding is that trichome production is not the be-all end-all for when you plant is ready to harvest. Go read up here(seamaiden put an article that should help you):

Don't hate, this site is great. I did outdoor grows in the forest for 4 years, I thought I knew it all. Turns out everything I knew was wrong(well, almost), but the great folks on the farm have got my sails back with the wind! All you gotta do is read up before asking questions, that's all I've seen anyone ask of us new types.
