Much longer?

Been in flower for just under 8 weeks, my current plan is to give them another 1.5-2 weeks but thought I’d check. There’s still a few heads with white pistils and I check the trichomes with a digital microscope, most are clear/milky but there’s a few starting to turn amber.
Obviously before I chop I’ll check that the trich production is good but I’m just after a rough estimate so I know when to put them into the ripening stage of their feeds.

Yes.

Much longer

Let me rephrase, once the trichomes start turning amber, roughly how long from then?

No one can tell you that. We can only give you an estimate. And that might not be right either. When its done its done tbh.

Bummer, I follow this chart so it’s handy to know. They’re clones from my last lot and they finished up quicker last time so figured they’d go the same length this time

Without seeing the trichomes first hand I think maybe they are not as cloudly as you think by the looks of the plants. They look look they still have some time left. That one bud is looking stretched out like maybe there was a light issue (maybe a leak that could have slowed them down a bit) they may be ready in two weeks but I think that it may be a bit longer.

Looks like some heat issues going on. Upwards cupping of the leaves and lots of foxtailing.

Possible nitrogen tox as well. You have some things to iron out.

could be genetics but id say 3 weeks is probably what he has left if he is seeing amber it prob on a sugar leaf

For sure on the sugar leaves.

You probably have about 3 weeks until you start seeing some amber trichomes on the calyxs. Should be ready shortly after that. There's no amber forming on the flowers now. If there is it's from touching your bud with your hands like in the picture. That will damage the trichomes and cause them to prematurely amber.
