Ready to harvest?

Hi gang,
Newbie here with first MJ grow. Been a wild season here in Toronto. Tons of rain this summer, powdery mildew, plus had issues with bud rot and have since trimmed those off and I’m hoping I’m near the finish line.

I read the best way to tell if it’s harvest time is by checking the trichome color. Clear glass means not ready yet, milky white means perfect time, yellow amber means waited to long.

my phone cannot take macro shots so I took photos using a jewellers loop. Let me know what you think, looks clear to me but would like your seasoned eyes to have a look. Can you tell how much longer to harvest by looking at trichomes?

3 weeks imo maybe 4

You don't need anything but snow to tell you when to chop

Heavy frost are acceptable in fall when the plant is strong
The spring frost is a completely different thing

Grow it till the weather forces you to harvest
You will be pleased you waited

Here’s another shot that didn’t attach to original post

If you harvest based on when the trichomes turn milky, it will be weeks to a month early. It's like Herb & Suds said, you should keep those out for as long as possible right up until weather forces you to chop-hopefully it will be enough time, it should be close! Good luck. Here is a nice post with other signs of ripeness to look for: https://forum.grasscity.com/threads/a-guide-on-when-to-harvest.666373/.

You've got 4 to 6 weeks minimum left.

They usually double or triple in fatness. These have yet to do either.
