Just by looking at that, it's REALLY close. 90% of people judge by the thrichs on the buds. I personally judge mine on look. But I wouldn't argue with checking the thrichs. I'm just confident the plants have a certain look when they're done. I may yank one a week early, or a week late, but I doubt there's much affect on thc content if you give or take a week as long as you're in the harvest window. If you want to be 100% look at the thrichs.
 
It's ready for chop, not shooting any new pistils and the old ones are wilting, so won't put on much more weight anyway.

sometimes autoflowers don't really get amber trichs, so it's better to judge chop time for autos on the overall state of the plant.
 
I'm a Trich type of guy and looking at your first picture I can see mostly cloudy, some clear and a couple amber. You want to look at the mushroom head of the Trich. For me I would keep checking until at least all are cloudy. If you are going for a Headdy high chop when all cloudy. For more of a body - couch potato high go for about 30-40% amber.

Plants don't generally ripen all at once and have a tendency to start from the top and ripen downward. I like to do a harvest over a couple days selecting the ripe colas at the top first. When I get down to about 1/2 the plant I just chop the rest.

Your the bud master get in there and check those trich's.
