Get a microscope that will tell you better then anyone on this forum can.

Agreed get a loupe at least 60X or more. The plant looks done from the photos but that isn't a 100% call without seeing the trichomes up close and personal. If the Trichomes are nice and foggy or turning amber you are good to go. Remember to flush your plant any time now to clean out the nutrients.

Good deal, you'll really enjoy seeing the trichomes up close, its a real site. I use a Zorb to view my plants and am able to take close up pictures with that microscope. I love pictures of glistening trichomes.

Does it matter that their starting to feel a little extra dry and crispy.. it’s about 83 degrees in my tent on average with the lights on 45% humidity... are they too close to the light..

Are you seeing any of the tips of your leaves starting to burn? If not it isn't the light. Your heat is a bit warm and your humidity is pretty high. Likely your plant is just moving all its growth power to the buds and the rest of the plant starts to not do as well.

They look a bit rough but maturity is maturity so it's just a matter of managing them for another 7-10 days to let them completely finish. The only time I've seen them drag on the finish is if they're damaged like heavy nute burn or the like, they don't look too bad so they should be fine to finish them off. It's just a bitch pulling too early and while trichs give you a guide, I find regardless of strain if you let them go until all/most the hairs are turned then it's fully matured and synchs up with your trich readiness.

Pull your light up 3 or 4 inches and see if that helps, if not raise it another 3 or 4 inches. You are so close to harvest you should be ok no matter what happens so don't worry too much

Looks good bruh! Personally I think you would be happy enough if you chopped now, but I always try and wait an extra week. Looks like it's gonna b a bitc 2 trim but I remember that being one of my favorite things 2 do my first few runs. I hardly ever use my scope anymore and prefer the old squeeze method. Hats off 2 ya if this is one of your first cpl grows! 
What strain btw? That trim gonna make some nice hash/edibles!
