Trichomes look 100% clear to me but can you tell by these photos?

These are the best photo's I could produce, I took them with my camera then zoomed in and recaptured the photo trying not to lose all the detail. Obviously there is some detail lost this way but I have not gotten a scope yet and this is all I could work with. Heck I'm not entirely sure that these are useful. Can anyone decipher these to the best of their knowledge and have any thoughts on my survivor?

I was thinking another month at least before i posted, thank you guys or gals for replying. I love the input that comes from this site. Is it normal for the pistols to be turning amber at this stage? I switched to 12/12 about 2 months ago and it is really like 4 weeks in now of true flowering time when she started to build up. I don't know what strain it is but the the total time from seed so far is 4 1/2 months. Its taking a while but I'm sure underlighting and not all the best qaulity being used for the grow definitely has caused some time to be wasted. Its my first grow as well and didn't and still don't know what to expect as of yet.
 
How bout a pic of whole plant? Pic 5 looks all cloudy, with no clear, to me...others I see crystal clear ones [glistening in the reflected light]...
 
Assuming you veg'd for four weeks and flowered for 9weeks I's say they're done. You really can't see the trichs without a scope but based on time alone they should be finished.
 
Based on what can be seen, i would say another 2-3 weeks. Really not seeing full development in the colas in the full pic. I think u still have a little growing to do. Good Luck and Happy Smoking :bigjoint:
 
Another 3 weeks or so at least. I'd want to see most of those pistils (now pale and standing straight out) darken and recede back toward the bud. And they need to fatten up a lot!

Plant looks good!
 
My one input would be that as a CFL grower too (i assume all ur lights are CFL, not just the one in pic?!?), i normally add on an extra week or 10 days to flower time as they seem to need it under CFL's. I find that any growing times & yield guidelines, etc given by breeders on the back of seed packets/website are usually made under the assumption that everyone is growing under 600W HPS, whereas CFL's just appear to need abit longer, i guess due to lower light intensity.
 
Red I have to say I've read many post and even got some books and haven't seen it explained that way. Yes the grow is under all CFL's you are correct :) I know I am underlighting the plant by alot but its all I got so that also could be making it not fatten up as much as well everyone would love to see lol. Krypto Thanks I'm trying my best not to screw the pooch :) Baka even though you where drinking already when replying you definitely are 100% correct in saying I need to get one of them there fancy scopes :) I do and them prices look really good on ebay thank you :)
 
Ok my gf got me a microscope she had seen at a store got it for like 3 bucks, it's not fancy and damn hard to focus and ill prob get a new one down the road, but I'm not complaining :) you can see the trics with it and that's all that matters right. Well I sniped off a tiny piece of a leave on the main cola and was able to get a few photos of them late last night. Today I was trimming a leaf that touched a bulb and wouldn't you know I fucking cut an entire small bud off. Now I just got home my boss held me up and had to drive 70+ more like 80 to get home in time so she could leave for work so I was in rush mode and whelp I cut that mofo off :( Anyway back to what I was getting at lol. I took a few shots of that as well and some under the scope. To me the main cola looks as if it was 50% clear 50% cloudy. Still not ready but its only been a week and you fine people told me 2-3 weeks at least :) What do ya'll think? I will separate the main cola pics from the bud I cut off. Feel free to smile from a noob mistake :P
 
Ok here is the tiny bud I chopped off, I had to take some new ones of the main one realized that they where bad out of focus so I gotta sort but in the meantime :)

Here is one of the main 2 buds I will post photos of the top middle an bottom trics for you guys to check out thanks :) BTW sorry for all the pics I have to admit that I'm excited to see the trics in person :P
