looks like you have reached, or are about to reach your harvest window. Meaning you can let her ripen up for a little longer, or you could chop her. i wouldn't let her go more than another week. Nice job!

cant say clearly by the trichs, satisfactory, but overall it look alright, so I would harvest it, more of a cerebral high I guess, or I would wait a few hours even:neutral:, anyways trust your instinct!! Good grow!! Let us know the smoke...
:peace:

Looks good, I'd probably wait a week for some amber to show up in there... it's all personal preference though. Nice work!:bigjoint:

Thank you, not that I dont value the others responces but I was looking for a reply from some one with 1000 or more post, or some one with lots of experience. I dont want to take it to early and loose any yeald or thc

well actually thc is highest if you pick it early. thc gets you high and talkative and takes away pain, if you wait another week the thc turns into cbd, then it will make the high last longer, it also makes you feel kinda drugged... you know stoned. if you dont like sedation then pick those buds now. i love the sedation though, it makes you keep your head change for a while.

all 60 or so cannibinoids interact together to create a different high, i have seen a trend though. it seems themost popular weed has a little cbd in it.
check out this they measure thc, cbd, cbc, cbn, thcv http://fullspectrumlabs.com/tested/strains/?&page=1&per_page=200

thc makes the high a lot more intense but very short. like when i buy kief from the club, i get blitzed for 20min. then when i smoke some weed/hash with high cbd i get stoned for the whole day until i pass out(which is inevitable).

Harvest some now and again in a week or ten days. Like the lower buds...let them ripen a bit more. You may notice a difference but the buds look like they'll turn out fine in either case.
