1st grow; 4 different strains! Harvest time??

Hello all. I'm on the 1st day of 7 weeks of flowering my first ever grow. I've flushed and cleared the ladies and now I'm watching the trichomes. I'm excited and nervous as I don't want to harvest too early or too late. My querkle is cloudy in the trichs whereas the Purple Kush, Hindu Skunk and Richie Richs' are clear. What should I be really watching for on the Trichs in order to finally harvest??? Any comments or critques will be greatly appreciated.

Yeah dude, they're really close. You could do it now if you want but what's the harm in waiting just a couple more day? What you're really looking for is the color in the hairs, yours look just right They look awesome bro! You won't be disappointed, let me know how they taste. Good luck!

Thanks Skolar. On my Purple Kush and Querkle, I'm waiting on that purple. The haze shows purple, but when does it actually come through. That's one of my struggles with the harvest, they're supposed to be purple right? Or I didn't do something right along the way? I don't know. I just want to see that purple. kekeke.

Wait longer. One of the things I learned is that a given plant is not "in" a stage of trich development, it varies all over the plant. I have a microscope and I have seen in a single field of view, trichs that were clear, cloudy and amber. A different spot on the same leaf might be different. I think the danger of chopping too early is far greater than the danger of waiting too long. I'd say wait until you see at least a few amber trichs in various places.
