no, i wouldn't harvest that plant yet, those both look like sugar leaf pics, get in there and get calyx pics. the trichs on sugar leaves will turn quicker than the ones on the buds, and even at that i'd wait, there doesn't look like there are that many on the leaves, really

IDK what calyx even is?

the bud part of buds, calyxes form the mass of the bud, the pistils or hairs grow out of the calyxes, and the sugar leaves are the single bladed leaves that grow down among the calyxes

looks like a good long time, only a very few brown trichs, and i'll bet they're on leaves, not on calyxes. another 3-4 weeks i'd say

You are absolutely correct. They were taken from leaves but from leaves as close as possible to the calyxes (pretty much touching). Not keen on cutting calyxes to check. I've used my usb microscope with an otg cable, but it's near impossible to hold the scope still longer enough to snap a clear pic. Hahaha
So now if I wait until my sweet leaves are 60/70% amber will that mean my flowers will be in their peak? Ready for the snips??

you dont have to cut anything , just look at the trichs on the surface of the buds, not the ones on the sugar leaves sticking out of the buds. while some would tell you to wait that long or close to it, my philosophy with most strains is about 10% amber/brown. they continue to mature for at least a week after you cut them, so if you cut at 10 %, by the time its dried and cured you're going to be at 15 to 20%, which seems prime to me.
And take note on everything like the smell the taste the high. This is what I did for my first and second harvest. It's really hard to not cut things down and be patient. So iam 8 days away from my deadline of 56 days 8 weeks. I have all milky trichomrs and almost no brown. And I thought well I've never really tested out cbd and thc. Which one I prefer more. I wasn't sure. So every two days until harvest iam cutting down one stalk and drying it. Making sure to keep track of the date so for this strain in the future I will know exactly when I want to harvest it for the high that I like

Thank you for the great info... I had a question... I'm going to be drying in spare room and wanted to know how I should set it up... I worry bout temp my house can get up in the 80s if I don't run the AC but if I do it's 77-79.. I was also thinking of adding a dehumidifier would that be ok... thank you

if you can get the temps into the mid to high 70s and the rh down under 60% you're good, keep a fan running in the room but not directly on the drying plants, depends on the size of the buds, usually takes 5-10 days for the initial drying
