Ripe enough? (pics)

Starting to think I may need to let my plants go another few days to a week.
Today is week six of 12/12.
Anybody?

Hey, looks good man.

I think they need more time.

3/4 of the pistols should be brownish of color, then they are ready.

Thanks Mars, I think I will let them go on flushing with pH bal water for at least another few days, then harvest in stages for a varied taste and high.

Yowza. The anticipation must be killing you.

Indeed it is...
To be honest, I have been taking some of the smaller nuglets and sampling them here and there for posterity's sake, and that helps. I have been taking buds from the bottom up a little at a time this week, and by this weekend will have taken down the largest ones for drying. I figure a week or more hanging, then at least 2 more weeks or more curing in jars ought to do it.
The waiting IS the hardest part...
