Pics would be quite helpful. Its hard to tell by just lookin at it tho bro, you need to look at the trics with a 30x scope to see if they're clear, cloudy, or amber. Clear means its not ready, Just cloudy means its pretty close. Cloudy with some amber tric's is normally the best time to harvest. All depends on what high your lookin for.

Happy Growin :leaf:

looks like a few white hairs on the top of the 1st pic

might just be the pic, but i would wait for all the hairs/pistils to turn reddish and start to shrink and recede back

i have a few plants in flower now that have above symptoms but the trichomes are still 100% cloudy and not yet amber, which i like about 30% amber

go to local hydro shop and pick up a 30x (preferrably a 60x-100x i got one for 10$ shipped off ebay) and check out the trichomes, that is the only real way to tell when they are done!!

but best of luck on the smoke and hope its great

you look to have a lot of pistols still shooting you need your pistols to be dying down and your bud calyxes are swoolen...there's a thread put up by sprucezues that really gets to the bottom of it

60% or more pistols in uniform down the stalk should have changed red, or receeded back. Chop and hang till dried out well and you will notice all hairs have changed then.
