When should I harvest these girls?

Well guys, I'm about nine weeks in (started germination on July 4th). Out of the seven I started with, these were the only girls! Bummer!

Anyways...I attatched some pics, would like an opinion on when you guys think these are ready for harvest? The first three pics are of the first plant, the next two are of the second. Then there are a couple full body shots.

I bought a 100x scope but I can't hold the damn thing still enough to see the resin on the leaves. Any other good way to tell?

Let me know guys, thanks a lot for everyone's help over the past couple months. Looking forward to start another grow soon.

You still have a good amount of green jndeitz...that doesnt mean they are not close. What you need to do is cut off a lil sugar leaf right close up to the bud. One thats got resin all over it. Be careful when handling it so you dont damage the heads. Lay that cut leaf on the table and look at it with your 100x scope. Doing it under the sunlight or using a flash light will help you see everything.
Can you possibly turn it down to 60%?

LOL....I know how shakey it is trying to look at it whilst on the plant. 100x is hard too

Also, trim samples from several different places on the plant and look at the trichs. Go by an average of all of them. Wait for at least 25% amber.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Clear tall tricks are for sativa and that's when you want to pull?
Cloudy would be half and half?
And then amber is specifically indica?!

i was under the impression you always want cloudy to amber, normally 60% amber. never clear is this not true??

Clear is no thc at all, cloudy is sativa (head high/energetic buzz), amber is indica (couchlock)

NO NO NO the plant is a sativa or indica from birth not from the color of the trich's. jeeze read a book.

Clear means its starting to get resin. Milky or white means its filling with resin. Amber means its full.

Clear means no high.. White means energetic high. Amber means couchlock stone.

Should be ready when 20-50% turn amber, just depends what kind of high you want to get.
