i only say this because i see a large number of very green fan leaves . i flush until most are yellow or brown.
mostly cloudy trichs with a few ambers under HPS only is considered fully ripe in most verities ,but only you can decide when the best time to harvest is.let a main bud or two live longer than the others so you can see what happens.
i am not a fan of drying till stem snaps but many are . i dry until the outer 1/2 of large buds feel dry ,drop it all into a plastic box with cover until it is wet again,and then rehang until the inner 1/2 of large buds are pliable ,remove large stems and jar.there are 1001 venerations of curing just watch out for mold
you seem to be doing quit well:thumbsup:
