Give her at least a few more days to a week. There's only a couple wilted pistils. You want to see about 25-50% wilted and a general yellow/brown color. The pros here will tell you the correct rule of thumb. The top of the buds will likely still have long white sparsely growing pistils, but the majority should be mature. You may notice the top buds ripen faster then the lowermost buds. If this is the case, and you just harvest the ripe ones, the plant will continue to develop for a week or two and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

btw, your leaves look awesome strafen. I would let mine go without fert for the last couple weeks and flush a week prior to harvest. Many of the leaves at that point are yellow and crispy as the plant uses all the nutes from them. She could stand to keep going happy like after you remove some of the ripe colas

Agreed, they look great, and also need a little more time. It'll be more like 50 days before they're finished, maybe even a few days longer. Although I know it's a pain in the ass trying to be patient,lol it'll be well worth the wait. If you don't have a microscope to check the trichs, wait til 80+% of the pistils are brown, before harvesting(mine are 90+% when the trichs are ready).
