The color of the milk you drink, is "Milky" it's the THC highway....
Clear, will glisten in the light...

Your hairs have receded some, a little longer....
How are your Calyxes? Are they swollen and look like they are going to pop out a seed?

As soon as you see some Amber/Tea colored Tric's....
When the little globe on the end of the little tric, fills with a dark color, then it's time....
Those buds look like they need to fatten a bit....
Good Luck!

The clear, milky, amber stuff is when you look at your plant through a hand-held microscope (Radio shack or hydro store $15). You can't see the trichs with the naked eye. When to chop is a personal choice. Clear=no where near ready, Cloudy/Milky=getting there but not yet, Amber=Time to chop. I personally chop at the first signs of amber trichs....other's wait until 20% are amber. The more amber, the more "couch-lock" you'll get from your weed......very little amber is more of an energetic high.
