IMO, not only do the crystals take on a maturer color and appearance as they grow ripe, like a fruit, so does the whole bud. I like to think I can see fairly accurately by judging the general ripeness of the bud. Anyone agree?
The last pic is definitely not ready.

Its hard to see in those pics, but I would probably harvest those plants, branch by branch, for about 10 days.
