if the Plant has mostly clear trichs can it still be potent?
Trichs Clear? IS the bud Potent without being Cloudy?

So if the Plants Leaves are all drying up and everything is frosty as hell 8 weeks out it will still be good to go
Thanks

As a general rule of thumb, clear trichs do not produce a high most people are looking for.
However some strains have trichs which do not change much, I have yet to see a strain which doesn't go milky though.
Usually some of the "weird" strains have trichs which don't go amber.
Can you possibly take some pictures?
If everything else (swollen calyxes, receding pistils etc.) is looking ripe, then it might just be genetics and the plant might be ready.
I know strains which get amber trichs while still having all white pistils, it's faily common in some genetics.

Very Little Milky and a couple of Amber. I thought the amber were spider mites at first
using a 45x microscope
i've run across one strain that didn't follow the usual trich schedule(nl#5 from HGS)
i'm still not sure if one trich ever went cloudy, trichs would stay clear then become clear yellow like honey
it was awfully heady at 11 weeks, 12 weeks tamed it a bit
but even after curing for over a year, no amber trichs, just clear yellow

The "clear-honey (yellowish)" is the 2nd stage (milky/smokelike/yellowish) for a strain such as you talk about.
I've seen those plants as well, milky is just a lot more 'normal'.
However it sounds weird that it still was such a head high when it didn't turn amber, it must've been a special strain which not only didn't turn amber but had a yellowish tinge instead of milky.
I guess your plant was just a freak like one with no change to amber and just a heavy head high anyway.
Just proves how you sometimes can't trust trichomes ^^
I guess I would've gone for swollen calyxes and receding pistils in that case, but it sounds like that strain is hard to manage growone

interesting information, that does make some senseThe "clear-honey (yellowish)" is the 2nd stage (milky/smokelike/yellowish) for a strain such as you talk about.

i didn't get too much feedback when i posted a thread on this, but someone did post some similar info to yours
that strain was let go, it took too long to ripen for an indica(12 weeks of flower!)
but there are other freaky trich shows out there, the more i read about this amazing plant, the more i realize i don't know

I guess it's because it's a weird situation you were in, doesn't happen often I'd think.
I haven't seen it myself in real life I have only heard of it.
It does sound like quite a lot of work that strain, hard to manage and very long flowering period.
