Hey guys take a look at these pics for me and tell me whether you think they are milky or just all clear. How long until harvest?

If you're going to be using trichomes as an indicator, you need to buy a scope. You can only really tell at hi magnification, you have to check the bud not the leaves, and you need to be able to focus it because you need to look at the trichomes at different levels to know for sure. Hydro shops carry cheap ones or you order off eBay. It's worth it, very necessary tool.

Good luck!

Very nice flowers! You still have a decent amount of white hairs so with 2 more weeks you should be good. Nice, yeah good timing.

yeah i cant wait, great strain its actually considered to be 100% indica which makes me think because its stretchy and leaves are more sativa like

the trich heads will still get bigger, id say you still have 2-3 weeks.

you dont need to really hae high magnification. the way i tell if by the trichome heads because i dont have a powerful microscope. just a strong maginify glass on a lid of this cup thing. i toss a bud insde and can see the trich heads clearly. if they are swollen up and fat its done. if its more long with a smaller head then it still has time

Figured i'd look for a thread like this instead of starting my own.. Can you guys tell me how these trics look? I'm thinking of chopping her tops off today and let the rest of her go for another 4-5 days.

This is one of her tops

sadly those are macros. I'm no expert on picture taking but it seems difficult to get good macro shots. Does the plant look ready?
