Are the trichomes cloudy or clear.
I can’t telll.
I have a 60x loupe and a pocket microscope 100-200 but it’s impossible to use the microscope as the to get in focus means touching the buds and I don’t want to do that.

They look to me like they are on the turn between clear and milky.

These are not ripe trichomes they are just reflecting the light. Just pointing this out as i see alot of new and older growers think the plants are ready to harvest when they really are not.
This may help some people to see clearly

Thanks.
I’ll check again in a week or two and see if I can find a way of viewing them without the light shining directly onto them.
cheers

Nice girls - I would say overall flower look ( uniform ) thruout . I would say “ maybe “ a week , thinking they are pretty much chop ready.

Pistil growth at tips are from lights ....

You can always do a partial harvest ( most ready tops ) and leave lowers to harden off and finish.

My buddy is obsessed with trichrome color and his harvests are always very lack luster in the potency department. I wait until orange hairs recede, usually anywhere between 70-80 days minimum.
