I'm seeing a lot of clear trichomes, and no amber yet. I'd give it another week, then re-check.

agree,, the pics are hard to tell from, of course,, but one thing i have noticed,, in pics,, see all the 'glinting' there, in the pics,,
the glinting only comes from 'clear' trichomes,, cloudy and amber do not glint,,
so,,
i see a lotto glinting in that pic,, tells me it needs more time,,
cheers

I'm not seeing any amber yet. You seem to be at maximum THC. Amber is needed for a more couch-lock effect.

So still good to chop then and excuse me for being stupid but what do you mean by I've reached maximum THC
Yes, you can chop now.
No problem. Clear trichomes are immature, and don't have much if any, THC. When they mature, they get cloudy or milky and the THC reaches its maximum. After that, some of the THC in the trichomes is converted to another cannabinoid (CBN) which gives the couch-lock or sedative effect. When they do this they turn amber.
Most folks like to harvest when their indica or hybrid plants show 5% - 20% amber trichomes. Some sativas don't progress to the amber stage.
