I would say 60% of the trichs are the milky translucent color, 36% are still clear and 4% are ambering up.
Well, it sounds like you've got a long-flowering strain. Keep looking at the trichs every couple days and in a week or two it will probably be ready to harvest. I believe it's 20-30% ambers you want to see.
I read a post recently (in here, I believe, in the Harvest/cure section) where this guy said he doesnt go by trichs. He goes by looks--says A plant LOOKS DONE when it IS done. I think I know what he means...Ive got a couple plants at the end of their 9th week that just simply LOOK "done", The leaves are almost all gone, the ones that remain look brown and crisp...the bud itself is brown and kind of dry-looking. Sort of crumbly looking, in a way. My strain is "supposed" to flower 8-9 weeks but some folks say 10 is even better. Still, a trich check showed quite a lot of amber at the top of the plant and about 30% in the middle and bottom. That combined with it's "done" look...and Im ready right now to harvest my beauties.
I think it's sort of like buying tomatoes or melons...you get a "feel" for when it is perfectly ripe.
