Are my girls about ready for harvest?

I have 2 girls moby dick and Bruce banner and they are 8-10week ish strains for both, I forgot which day I flipped to flower but I believe it was last week of September, and now approximately 3 weeks into November they should be on their final weeks, and they seem to be ready now. I took the photos using a jewelers loupe, and need help judging the trichomes, since I’m not an expert, and can’t exactly tell if they are quite the milky color I should be looking for prior to being harvested.

Thanks for the input, I’m being patient just wasn’t sure, I’ll let them do their thing, and monitor closely.

And like Hydro mentioned. They're foxtailing a bit. It's not a big deal, it's more aesthetic than anything, but it could be telling you the light is too close, or it's too warm in there. I've seen a lot of blurples seem to get those too.

What are your light and temps?

I am using mars hydo LEDs, 1 TS 3000, and 1 TS 1000, my temps are now currently running at 72F , this change was most recent as I had added another inline fan to intake air inside and cool down, temps before were in the high 80s about 88-89F. I can say that I think it’s mostly due to the lights being too close, but that part is my fault because I think I vegged too long without properly training the plant to be bushier/short

the first few weeks of flower when they do most of the stretching they pretty much stretched their way to the top of my 5x5 tent, and I wasn’t able to bend the plants anymore due to the maturity because branches were snapping so the most I was able to do was, bend the tops through scrog net without breaking the branches. just so they wouldn’t literally touch the top of the tent. That saved maybe 6 inches of head space between tops and lights which I know is probably way too close.

so my only option probably is to turn the intensity wayyy down since I can’t do anything to move the lights further away.

With LED high 70's to low 80's is ideal.

Nitrogen excess can push “ growth “ over bloom sometimes. Suggest cutting nitrogen down and run bloom only til end. Less green in your smoke i say.

thanks! Will do, and will also dim the lights a lot, as I think the intensity is much high since i did have them turned all the way up lol with that short of a distance.
