newbie dumb trich question...

Hey everyone, I'm still working on my first grow. I've harvested one of my 2 plants that I have. It was an auto PE from Barneys and so far, it's turned out rather nice. But, I'm still letting my NL auto grow. I sampled some from a branch that broke off about 3 weeks ago and it was pretty decent, but all my trichs were still clear. Here I am, and the plant looks "ready", to me anyways, but I'm new at this, and I have mostly cloudy with a lot of clear trichs, but I have yet to see the first damn amber trich. Is it possible that it could be completely ready without a single amber trich to be found? I know this probably seems like a dumb question, and I figure if it smokes smooth and gets you high, it's good, but I'd like some input/verification from some of you pros if you y'all don't mind. Thanks for the help!

Oh yea, I should add, she is at day 91 from seed, a little over 10 weeks from flower. I know you have to take breeder recommendations with a grain of salt, but they indicate 7-9 weeks from flower. It's an auto Northern Lights from Nirvana. Grown under CFLs, in a soil mix of MG potting mix, generic seedling mix and perlite. Only about 10% is the MG, the rest is about 45/45. She is in a 1 1/2 gallon pot. I know everyone says you can't/shouldn't use MG and CFLs, but my other plant was in the exact same set up and I yielded 1.5 oz from her. I know if I up the soil/nutes/lights on my next grow, I'll do a lot better, but for my start out, I'm not upset with my results.

Here's some different pictures I took from my last grow. When you harvest depends on what you want.. the darker the tricomes are, the more baked you will get.

I'm using a Bresser USB microscope. The quality is decent, but I'm thinking of building a better setup with a DSLR camera instead, which will allow for much greater focus depth.
But for now I'm just using this to check if my crop is ready for harvest ;) Another one for ya:
