Need a consensus - ready to harvest?

Hey all,
This is my first grow. I never actually thought I'd make it this far, but I did!
Anyway, I was trying to figure out how close I am to being able to chop this lady down. I don't have a jewelers magnifying glass to look at the trichomes so Im going based off the orange vs white hair ratio.

With my eyes its just about 50/50 orange to white. Is this good? Or would a 100% orange cola be best?
This one was a Nebula Haze fem. From seed to now, its been about 6 months. I think her growth slowed because temps were getting to about mid 50's here. I did have a seedling heat mat under the container I had her growing in, not sure if it helped or not though.

This was a hempy bucket, 100% perlite. I just did the lucas formula with Maxibloom. No phd or ppm adjustments. My faucet water had a ph of about 8.

Anyway, Should I wait couple more weeks for a bigger ratio of orange hairs?

It also looks like your still feeding it nitrogen, make sure you have completly stopped nitrogen feeding, give it a straight water one or 2 times in a row to lew the plant chew on whats built up tjen hit it with a good flowering nute dose, then straight water the last 2 times. At the end of those wet dry cycles you should be good to harvest it.

Hey everyone. Just thought I’d come back and share what I harvested. I choped Feb 23, let her dry for about 12 days.
Doing a 24 hour closed / 24 hour burp for the first week.

*** if you know or can recommend a better/correct way please leme know.

Anyway, I appreciate all the help!

12 day dry? How did you dry? What was the temp and humidity? That’s quite a long dry hopefully you didn’t overdry, I’d say burp for just like 10 mins a day tbh, your answer may change my opinion though? o_O

I hung it up on hangers, left it in my garage with a fan circulating air (not directly on it).

Yea, I kept reading about “until stem snaps” but the leaves (I left some fan leaves) were getting crispy.

The humidity was maybe 50-75? It rained kind of a lot during those 12 days but I checked everyday for mold. Temps were from 50s to 70s.

I didnt have any fancy ways to control humidity or temp besides a fan and opening the window

Ok so it was dried in cool rather humid conditions with no Mold?? Ok good, in that case your weed probably still has a fair amount of moisture left after 12 days so it’s not over dried, I don’t believe in the stem snap thing, a bend and an inside snap is what you want. You want to get a mini hygrometer from eBay on the cheap and throw it in the jar and see what it reads after an hour, between 60% and 65% is perfect, as you stand I’d say burp it for an hour at a time maybe every two days or so BUT get the hygrometer as soon as you can, that will guide you along, if it’s in the 70% range let it sit out more till you get to 60-65%, if it’s below 55% it may well be naffed, you may able to re moisturise with a boveda pack from eBay to get it back to the 60-65% range but it may not continue to cure.
