Til you pick up a $10 40x loupe and check the trichomes. You'll be looking for big, bulbous (almost bursting) heads on the trichs, with most being cloudy and maybe 10%, or so, amber. That would be peak potency. But as mentioned, where they are at you will get high from these buds (which look a week, or more, away to me) whenever you chop.
They look absolutely TASTY!!
Good job and good luck

2 maybe 3 weeks. You should know that they will get fatter yet as you been around for a few years. They look nice give them a couple of more weeks and they should be good to go, just let them get real brown but not black(tri's).

Ya whatever. You want the tri's to be amber but not black if the tri's turn black(dark)the plant has gone sour(you missed your harvest window). I'v been growing weed for a long time and if you harvest while the tri's are white(or milky white like you say)then you will end up with shit weed. You don't need no scope or loupe all you have to do is look at your plants if they are green and still very fresh looking then they're not ready but if they look brown and the tri's are turning brown then you're ready to go it's just that damn simple. Plus if you have a nine week plant then let it flower for nine weeks don't post here in 7 and ask if the plants are ready.
Here is pic's that show exactaly what I am talking about:

Just because you have been growing for along time does not mean all the advice you have is 100 percent correct, I mean this with all due respect and I do not wish to continue to argue about this

You have enough time before harvest to grab a scope. I hate to think about how much ganja Ive harvested early after I bought mine. Its quite obvious when to harvest with the scope. So please for the sake of the plant who put so much energy to ripen for you grab a scope and harvest when ready.
