White Widow autos, day 70 from seed today. White pistils are about gone, buds are dense, but not a single amber trichcome on the buds. There are some on the leaves, but those don’t count. Will it hurt to let these go another 10 days as I continue to water with plain water? Thanks.

Hi mate, trichomes heads start out clear and glassy. At this point, buds are not very potent. As buds mature, trichome heads turn milky white. They kind of look like plastic. These white trichome heads indicate the highest level of THC and CBD. If given more time, white trichome heads turn amber/golden (for most strains). Amber trichomes have less THC but produce more of a relaxing/body high effect. If you don’t have one already I’d grab a jewellers loupe this is the cheapest and most low tech way to get the job done. Hope this helps and all goes well mate

Thanks, but I do have a scope, and I understand the whole trichcome process, my point is the buds look mature, but the trichomes don’t. My question is will it hurt to let these go another 10 days? I would consider the trichs clear to cloudy right now. With amber trichs on the leaves, but I know you don’t look at the leaf trichs.
 
I would personally carry them on for the 10 days until they start with the orange trichs mate keep giving them a look each day, it all comes down to personal preference when to cut I know a few who would cut now but personally I’d wait a little longer
 
Can only get better will not hurt
