Wow! That's stunning! Thank you. Would it hurt to let it go another week? I don't see any amber trichs but I'm good with more cloudy.

Check the trichomes with microscope, you'll see plenty of amber...the chroma only pick up the color that's in there.
As for another week, it's entirely up to you, it's gonna be a couchlock in my opion. Regardless of your preference, it's ready.

How did you inhance the chroma? I would love to know how my phone gets close enough to see the trichs but it's still a bit hard to see how much Amber I got if any on the calyx.

You could never see the amber using ordinary camera(as in phone). The best way to take pictures of trichomes is by using micro lenses. This is the only way you can see the true color(as in amber) without light (or flashes) obscuring the true color.

The other alternative is to take pictures of trichomes as close as possible then bring it to a photo editor and bring out the chroma (true color) without the haze or reflection from light sources. Just an FYI, chroma is different from color saturation.

What photo editor do you use. I'll try to find that one since it seems it looks like it works good.

I use Gimp and its free. There might be a bit of learning curve if you're used to photoshop.

Ok thankyou again I have one photo editor downloaded do you think what I have it at is giving a right estimate of amber? I'll also download gimp and try it out.

Edit: Is it XGimp Photo Editor? There are a couple.

I'm old school. I believe in glass optics. Optical enhancement (software) requires you assume the algorithms are correct. Good optics are measurable and make no assumptions.

Just an update on... Well let's just call her "Becky Jane". I harvested on 10/18 and she hung out in the garage for a week. 10 oz's are now resting comfortably for their cure. I kept her alive and she seems pretty happy. I am too Thanks again for the advice!
