the only way to know for sure when its the perfect time to harvest, is by getting a microscope, at least 30x, and checking out the trichomes up close and personal. here's a chart that i've been giving to a lot of people, which i picked up in a different thread.
hope this helps,

oh, and i would say you have about another month or month and a half if your only in week 3-4 of flowering.
Get a magnifing glass and look a the trichromes ( frosty looking stuff on the leaves and buds) when the plant is in the early stages of flowering they are all clear, at mid point they will begin to turn cloudy, when at the end of flower are amber.
If you harvest when the trich's are clear you get an enerjetic body high ( note: much smaller final yeild than the other 2 periods ), 50/50 clear/cloudy you get a more cerebal energetic buzz, 50/50 cloudy/ amber is a couchlock buzz. Harvesting during any of these 2 periods will not have much of an affect on your final yeild.
I harvest at the first sign of Amber, getting the cerebal with some couchlock. I think you can get how it works now good luck.
