Any guesses how much longer this'll be?

I'm getting so excited and don't wanna wait, but I know the results will be better if I do. Another pic:

2-4 weeks. Hairs will no longer be white. You’ll want to watch the trichs and chop when they are no longer clear, I wait until they are about 60/40 milky/amber. Pick up a jewelers loupe and you should have no problem. Make sure you’re looking a the trichs on the buds not the sugar leaves as those change color much quicker.

Looks very healthy. Great job!

Edit: here is a good pic on what I’m looking for. Also, if this is your first harvest make sure you have a plan for the dry/cure if planning to smoke/vape. It makes all the difference for the taste & smell. Cheers!
- Thank you! The pics are helpful. I've started seeing some ambering, but probably mostly on the sugar leaves - looking at all the trichs instead of just the ones on the buds themselves. And since more of the hairs are turning orangey instead of white, I'm getting excited.
  
  I appreciate the info, and the pics. It's hard for me to compare my pics vs internet pics when I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. "Somewhere around 4 weeks left" is very helpful! Thanks!
  
  You’re on the homestretch and keep at it as you’ve been. Enjoy the grow!
It's been a few years since I grew, but it's looking really close. Are you light cycling? How dense is it feeling?
- She's getting 12/12 light rn. Just squoze (squeezed?) a couple of the buds (oh so gently, and from the bottoms of the sugar leaves) - I'd probably be happy getting these. They're feeling pretty dense, compared to some buds I've seen in my life. Do they lose some of that density while drying? Like, water weight?
  
  Thanks for the reply!
  
  When dried and cured properly, you'll be looking at a minimum of 30% weight reduction from moisture loss.
  How long have they been at 12/12?
Beautiful plant but easily 4 weeks away
- Thanks! What kind is it? Haha - I'm not quite sure how to read the label. Is it a Blue Dream × Purple Caper, from the seed bank Purple Caper? (Bought from North Atlantic Seed Company)
  
  Thanks for taking the time to reply!
  
  I think it's Purple Caper x Blue Dream back crossed with another Purple Caper but honestly I think cannabis strain names are a scam anyway so if the weed's good it's good
