This is the current bud progress on 3 of my 4 ladies. They seemed to be the furthest along so I'm trying to spit ball down to roughly how much time I have left. I feel like 2-3 weeks tops from my research and their progress. But this is my first season so I definitely could be wrong. I realize the ultimate deciding factor is the ooooy gooey trichome color. Anyways here we go. Forget which is which in the top 2 pics but they are my 2 ladies in the greenhouse lemon meringue and dream lotus. The bottom one is Shiskaberry
So by the pics I'm in the mostly cloudy trichomes stage. The hairs are also changing color but I wouldn't say they've darkened based off my pics . While I want to be at that high thc range, based off what I see im not quite there yet. maybe not quite 3 weeks out which is a positive. Already got the loupe in my shopping cart so I can keep a closer eye on them. Thanks @vostok
