are these two girls ready for harvest?

One looks like the purple color from the sugar leaves is bleeding into the tricomes the other has what looks like amber coming in. These plants have been on 12-12 since October 31stAttachment 288553Attachment 288554 I used a "microcapture " I purchased on the web 200x magnification

Need to see more photos, but I highly doubt it. Even the fastest strain takes 40 days and usually it's 45 days. Are these autos? Autoflowers are usually 55-65 days which is basically week 7. Most indicas are weeks 7-10 and Sativas are 8-14.

You have been flowering for 6 weeks...I honestly think you are AT LEAST 2 weeks from harvest..probably 3-4 more weeks.

You must have the magnification set really low.. there is no way thats 200x magnification! I use a 100x magnifier.. and I can usually only fit 5 or 6 tricombes in the view finder at once.. try bumping up the magnification and take some more pics.. you need to be able to see the little bubbles on the end of the trichombes REALLY clearly to tell when its harvest time! I usually look at the trichomes right at the middle of the bud.. there is a lot less chance of colour bleeding such as what you have in those pics.. What you want to look for is the little bubble on the end of the Trichombe.... when the little bubbles start turing white and then yellow.. its time to harvest... The more white they are.. the more "uppy" the high will typically be... if you let them go a few more days so they all turn yellow.. it will be more of a couch high.. THC starts to degrade once it turns yellow.. so you dont want to let it go too long or you will be shooting yourself in the foot! It does look to me like there is at least another week or two in left in the cycle.. the tips of those trichombes still look pretty clear.. Maybe take a few more pics at a higher magnification and re-post.. Good luck!

I was able to see this much better on my computer the heads are still clear. I also googled purple tricomes and found out this is common in some phenotypes. I keep a close eye on them and look at a sample every 3 days or so.
