How Long Until Harvest Time?

That plant is fully good to go IMO. I also personally feel that "racy paranoid" effect is causing primarily by pesticides, fungicides and other SOP's of commercial pot

You're not concerned with the amount of white pistils still popping out?

I've never heard that about the "racy paranoid" thing, I always thought it was from plants that were harvest before the cannabinoids were fully developed.

Personally I don't harvest when it's still throwing out white hairs. It does get frustrating tho when all else indicates time to chop and they keep popping up. I'd wait a week but It's really a preference thing

I don't look at trichomes except if I'm curious.

At milky white like this I check for bud swell. I'm still seeing quite a few trichs that seem to be just getting some color or are still clear. By the time I start seeing a noticeable amount of amber developing, I'm usually at or close to max mass. The exception for me is something that I want to have a heavy body focus. Everything else....well I got stuff to do. Lol My primary goal is quality. If I can manage to get a little more quantity too that's great but I don't sweat it.

YMMV

Regardless, those are beautiful girls!

Thanks for the advice thus far.

It's been yet another week, 14 weeks old now, and I'm still on the fence. Still some white pistils on the primary buds, pistils are all red on the lower buds, still no amber to speak of, buds still seem to be putting on weight. I don't see any of those crystal clear trichs, I'm starting to worry about the plant going downhill without ever showing any amber but maybe that's unfounded. Here are few pics from yesterday afternoon.
