Update To My Second Grow

Hey guys, I posted here about a month ago asking when to harvest and upon listening to you all, I waited about 4 more weeks. I also went ahead and bought myself a 30x jeweller's loupe to help with trichromes.

The problem is, my trichromes don't seem to be changing at all. I've been monitoring them daily and although some seem to be cloudy, it's a small amount and for the majority of them they still LOOK clear. I know these photos probably won't help much, but if anyone has any input please let me know. They've now been on 12/12 cycle for almost 12 weeks! Granted, I'm just using 8 120W bulbs for light so conditions aren't ideal, but 12 weeks with almost no cloudy or amber trichromes seems insanely high from what I've read.

I've been flushing with straight water for about 2 weeks now anticipating harvest. Should I just go ahead and do it or keep waiting? Some of the leaves are starting to yellow and I'm nervous if I keep waiting I'll lose potency.

I have seen people turn the light up to 18 hours the last 2 weeks but not turn them off..Watch out for mold..

Well it's rumored that putting them into 48 hours of dark before harvesting will put the plant into full stress mode and cause it to produce more resin to try and protect it's leaves and buds. I'm still new myself so this is more of a test to see if this theory works.
