I would say 3 weeks at the absolute minimum. Are the first 2 pictures a different plant from the third picture? The third looks closer. Typically you have 10-14 days AFTER 90% of the stigma(pistils) have turned red and receeded. Chopping early is the BIGGEST mistake new growers make. You majorly miss out on yield and quality.

Well its getting into that final stretch, still quite a bit of fresh growth, but I would guess 14-20 days. In that last couple weeks you will notice the outward growth stopping, and then the buds will internally swell up. They stack a decent amount of weight usually and you'll notice sturdy branches starting to bend in the course of a week or so usually. The individual bracts(calyxs) will swell and look visually fatter, and really the whole plant usually takes on sort of a golden glow and looks "done".

I feed till harvest, the plant is still working hard making buds for you :). You can cut back a little if you really want, but it looks like it is already yellowing some, so I probably would just ride it out like you are till harvest. I've tried lots of experiments with feeding, or flushing or lowering feed, and once I learned to dry the buds slowly and properly my weed always tastes great.

At least 3 weeks
looks like you was spot on, just checked today and im seeing a very low amount of amber , plus its only 2 days away from 3 weeks as predicted, plus over the weekend i tried a bud, let it dry on its own properly and its a lovely smoke, im feeling confident enough now to chop 1 down and start the drying process, what do you guys honestly think ?

nope you got at least another week. those hairs are still really fresh. are you sure you're checking the nug itself and not any of the sugar leafs?
