To be honest, without being able to tell how they look vertically/from the side, it is hard to tell from the first three pics how far along they really might be. In any case, it does not look like there are many trics, it still looks really green, and the buds do not look that fat. Hate to tell ya but it looks like you might have as much as 30 days to go on that one.

The second one looks closer, Id say maybe two weeks for that one.

take a look at this.

https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/37347-calyx-development.html

When they are near completion the pistils shrivel and retreat back into the calyx. Like I said in the first pic it is really hard to tell what is going on, you really need better photos for that one, but in the second pic it is obvious the pistils have not retreated back into the calyx. Its not far from being done, like I said two weeks max unless you want a lower yield and weak herb.

Also, unless it is a 100% sativa or sativa dominant strain, your nugs should be rock hard with very little give in the when squeezed gently (key word, gently), they should feel more like golfballs.

Also, when they are close to being done the leaves should go from green to yellow/purple as the plant consumes it last amount of food (assuming a proper feeding schedule).

Im no expert, but I do have my share of grows both indoor and outdoor under my belt for the past ten years so do now some things.

If you are just in a hurry definitely wait. But if security is an issue and you are concerned about rippers/hunters/leo finding your grow,you can chop sooner, but I would give at the top plants at least 2 more weeks before chopping, if not 30 days.

I know its hard, Ive got some indoors that are almost done,but Ive got to force myself to wait another 7 days for some and two weeks or more for others.
