They are clear! Some folks go by the rule of at least 30% amber. Click here! https://www.rollitup.org/subcools-old-school-organics/66405-amber-alert.html

What are you talking about Magnifying glass???? lol! Dude don't you realize your camera does a great job magnifying your Trichomes. You lucky bastartd. Your camera does a better job than my shitty one 
. She looks great! Give her 2 to 3 more weeks depending on what strain she is. At least wait until half of them turn cloudy. Not, even a bit earlier than that. If you want Indica body stone type then you need to wait until 20% of them turn amber. 30% amber IMHO is the most you should let it go. After 30% it starts to degrade a bit.

You have a week or 2 yet. I watch for swollen calyxes. And when hairs orange up. Some strains won't amber execept a few on sugar leaves. Cloudy/Clear with hardly any amber is my pref. but 2 each there own.

amber trichomes contain oxadized thc, which results in a drastic decrease in the thc's potency. ideally you want as many milky/cloudy trichomes as you can, keeping the amber as well as clear to a minimum.
edit: obviously this is only ideal if you want your weed to be as potent as it can be. herp

NICE!Don't have a magnifying glass, and can't figure out what the trichome percentage looks like.
Is she getting close?
How did you get your plants to hold still long enough to take such clear pics? LOL

Lol, says the new guy??? Doesn't 20% amber seem a minimum to you? I don't go any higher than 20%. So, don't come on here and act like your so smart until you have experience

@inhaleindica: haha. the only reason I didn't spend money on a magnifying glass.
@imchucky666: had to bring it indoors under lights to get those pics. Was impossible trying to do it outside with a breeze.
@somebeech: It's an ol' Canon powershot G3 with a after market 10x macro lens. I also used a tripod and remote shutter..
Still a "learn as I go" kind of photographer.

Very understandable! With a camera that takes pics like that, you don't really need a glass! VERY NICE!
