Thanks for all the replies. Some great info. I think I will go by what the bud trics tell me instead of the leaves. Most of them are cloudy with some amber. I wanting the couchlock and dont want to harvest to early. This is my 2nd sucessful grow which I know I harvested to soon on the 1st one at 8 weeks of flower. Should of let it go a little longer. Trial and error. I will get some lithium batterys for my micro and see how its does. Thanks for the suggestions and advice.

Good luck with the timing...

I cant remember if you are growin in or outdoors, or how big your plants are.

I grow outdoors, and so I often need to harvest a single plant in stages, as some of the plants are quite large and developed. Take down all the major colas first and anything that the scope tells me is done to my liking. I then open up the plant by tying down some of the intermediate branches to spread her out and let the smaller buds that are not as fully developed ripen. The girls look pretty butchered at this stage but I will sometimes let them go another week or more before I chop the whole plant down.

Typically I have several plants growing of the same strain, and many times I will harvest individual plants in stages to get the trichs at various stages so I can get a mix of highs.

I am growing indoors. I have 3 plants which are LST'd, all bag seed. If they were standing straight up, I would guess they are 3 to 3 1/2 feet tall, maybe taller. I see what your saying, I guess its like growing tomatos, you pick off the ones that are done and wait for the others to ripen. I'm tempted to do that because some of the buds look done, but I want to see how much I get in total. I am guessing a couple ounces.
