Just go by trich development/maturity
I have a magnifier to check them out but not enough experience to see a difference in the trichomes plus the buds still have pistils erected lol
The plant near harvest was guessing thats where the yellowing came from since fan leaves turning yellow and falling off
How do I know thwy ready until all white hairs turn brown? But people saying not to let it get there It will make it less potent
Some people saying harvest the top buds and Im just stuck in the middle lol

Trich maturity is a better thing to go by. Takes a little experience to be good at noticing differences, but hey you made it this far. Try google image search to see different levels of maturity color then try to compare to yours.
Got it thanks for your reply brother!

You want a good majority of the hairs to turn. That plant has way too many white pistils to even think about harvesting now. You do want to go by the trichs once the plant looks ripe. The pistils give you an idea of when to start checking. Here's a plant at seven weeks flower. I count flower from the first day they go to 12/12. All pistils have turned and the calyxes are swelling. I ended up letting it go another two weeks despite it looking ready to some. Through the scope the pistils were 100% clear at this stage. Two weeks later they were ready with 80-85% cloudy, 5-10% amber and the rest clear That's how I like to harvest mine. Other people like to harvest sooner or later. But you do need a scope to really know what stage of ripeness your plant is at unless you've been doing it long enough to just know when they're ready.

First I would like to say some people told me some strains have a tendency of not having all the pistils turning brown until you harvest and let it dry.
I have a jeweler’s loupe that magnifies 60x
I can see the trichomes but cant tell the difference lol
Its an Indica strain so I will need about 30-40% amber when it comes to thrichome color Im guessing I should leave this for another week? Or two?
