I would pick that anytime i wanted. Some people are going to say wait ten weeks more, but if I were needing weed, that plant would be the first to go.

Why d'ya see it as not even being close? I looked at your pics and it certainly looks like it could be perfect for that uppity high you/we like. especially pic #1.
As you know, without seeing the trichs, it's always a bit risky.

One week more. Nomore. I'd cut it straigth away because it seems very good for an energetic high ;).

I was thinkin' the other night (audience cheer) and it dawned on me that any fool can grow/harvest a amber/couch crop. It takes a little forethought and a decent viewing scope to grab those colas on the high high-side of things perfectly.

go to radioshack, buy a 50x magnifiedd glass and look at your trichs, you want about 95% milky/cloudy and maybe 5% amber trichs.
hope this helps

If you do end up w/ a radioshack mini-microscope (60-100X, I think this is what MrX is talking about) take small upper-leaf cuttings from a few locales on the plant, then set them on something, like a saucer, and have a look. Practice focusing on something else tiny to avoid manhandling your trichs while trying to see what's up. These scopes are a little tricky, but work well with the material removed from the source. Otherwise, the normal shaking of the human can make it really un-fun and frustrating. Had to learn this the hard way myself.

first grow i even did, i just took the 60x glass and set it on the table upright, and placed the buds infront of it, with white paper in the backround worked great.

Im also on day 62 and I have way too many opaque and clear trichomes to harvest. I wait untill allare at last 10% amber and the rst milky white.
The strain(skunk #1) is supposed to hve a 60 day flowering cycle.

The real skill is in being able to harvest for the high you want without using any microscopes at all. Dosen't matter if you want couchlock or an up high. I have sampled my own stuff 3 weeks before it was "ready" - it got me about as high as rest of the plant three weeks later. I think the window for harvest is much bigger than most people think.

After years, there's a smell a grower senses that's always right on the money.
Just like almost any fruit, vegetable, etc . . . it's just something time will give the dedicated enthusiast.
Had I not stopped by RIU, I'd have not seen the X amount of "ya gotta see the trichs" posts and definitely would not have spent any dough on this RadioShack hobbie scope.
The window of perfection is probably quite a bit wider than many realize, however one can always grow it longer, but can't grow shorter, so keeping an eye on things (trichs) isn't a waste of time, especially if your only reason to grow the strain you're growing is related to the buzz you 100% expect.
