id say about 50% of the plant is clear, 30% is milky, and 20% is amber. I have read that after they turn amber they start to lose potency and while they are clear they dont really have the best THC. Im not sure when I should harvest.

sorry this is my first ever grow and im not sure what you mean by time line of harvesting week. Im almost 7 weeks into flowering if thats what you mean. Some of the clear trichs have a milky color in them so im taking it they will be milky soon but most are just clear. The buds as just now growing nicely, just took longer than I thought it would. I was tempted to let it flower a bit longer but now im not sure because I want the best possible high. How long do you think I have until harvest? I still gotta flush.

very few strains finish in 7 weeks of flower(if any)
trichs can deceive because it matters where there are, trichs on the sugar leaves are not the same as trichs on the calyxes
plant should look 'ripe', which isn't so easy to tell for a 1st grow
