I'd wait a week more. Don't go more than 9 weeks though.
What camera are you using for that?

MiScope® -- The digital microscope that fits in the palm of your hand

The MiScope (pronounced My-Scope) combines a digital movie camera, precision optics and LED lighting in a microscope that fits in the palm of your hand. 40 - 140X magnification lets you zoom in on the fine details of insects, textiles, electronics or anything else too small to see. Place the MiScope over the object, and comfortably view the image on your computer screen, instead of straining to look into a tiny eyepiece. Capture images or movies, easily add labels, make measurements and even draw right on the live video image. The MiScope connects to your computer’s USB port where it’s always ready to use. Grab a laptop and take the MiScope anywhere. Use it to show your products to a customer, inspect a valuable collectable right in the store, or take it into the backyard and get a closer look at the insects who share our world.

they just still look too clear

[pine boy]

day 64 maybe

[scott06]

hey after all I learnt about the hairs changing colors in the 90's
then all the research on trics in the 21st century

r u all just simply counting to 8 weeks on indica dom varieties?

is it really that simple and was all this research just for fun?

common don't just guess - tell us your reasoning that leads to the guess,

that's the interesting part we can all learn from

[green_nobody]

looking still all pretty clear, leave em till at least 90% turned milky and some may start to turn red - and i'm talking here about the trichomes you so beautifully macro shoot, great picctures, and not the pistils, don't care for those.

I hope for more great macro pictures here

Scott, I can only speak to the harvests I have done.

I prefer Sativa dominant strains, but have grown a few Indica's, as well. I watch the trichs on the Indica's, and usually harvest when there is about 25% amber heads, and cloudy bodies on the trichs. This can give a more cranial high from a normally "couchy" Indica...but as a rule I've found they are not nearly as theraputic to my illness as Sativa's.

8 weeks is a guideline, only, but usualy will get you reasonably close if you are just taking a wag at when they will be done.

The reason I guessed day 64 is becouse my tric's look like yours and I want to harvest in 5 more days.I think I have a few weeks tho:(
