No need to guess when hand held scopes are available for < $20 on Amazon> I have this one

but this one might be easier as it appears bigger https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077TLGP58/ref=emc_b_5_i

Well I have those pictures I took with my microscope, I just cant tell they kinda look milky, but they kinda look clear, I have more updated pics. Their from different parts of the plant, also the picture I originally uploaded is almost a week old now, I took these pictures today

Nice job keeping her healthy till the end!
Now just keep doing what you've been doing till shes done.
Resisting the early chop is the toughest part of the grow.
I like mine early but still wait till there are a small amount of amber trich's.

You're close but beware of the "false finish." Some plants "look" ready at 7wks especially when checking leaves, but they're no where near ripe.
Check your calyx's in a few more days. You're almost home but they need to fill in a little more.

Well done grow!! :clap:

Thanks man. And yeah there's a very small amount I wouldn't even say 1 percent, I think I'm gunna let her go till around the 21st :) maybe longer. She's just so greasy and thick lmao and kinda smells like fruit stripe gum, so tempting, but I didnt wait all this time to harvest unfinished buds lololol

True about the false finish, on the leafs theirs amber but the buds have almost no amber in sight

Seriously walk away from it for 2 weeks. Just water it and let it finish. It will not be properly done in under 2 weeks, and might need 3.

Thanks for the advice :) I'm going too. I'll update you guys once I harvest, I also read on one of these forums that buds tend to do alot of fattening up in the last 2-3 weeks

They do fatten up a lot in the last few weeks. It’s internal though so it’s not usually a drastic difference on the outside. They swell up though and get denser. Which is why people that chop early regularly end up with airy loose buds.
