You can't really see the trichome coloration. The 'amber' I see is reflected green/yellow from the foliage. You need to get loupes or a handheld microscope and I usually harvest based on the intersection of plant maturity and trichome profile.

This is mostly cloudy with rare amber a few days earlier than I usually pull. Also the sugar leaves usually lead the bud so you want to check bud trichomes.

Thanks for the advice! Our loupe should be here this week!

Holy shit balls. So this girl lived just a bit too long eh?
Well I guess everybody think its just a pretty picture that I posted.....

However...this is how i checked my trichomes even though i have a portable microscope and jeweler loupe. Needless to say, I have verified this method with my microscope and I have high confidence that this method is accurate. You can check it yourself when your loupe comes in.

Just an FYI to everybody...chroma is different from just color saturation.

Holy shit really? Thank you man! It was a combination of topping and supercropping the lower 2 nodes with a total of 7 nodes at the end @ 14.5"
