White pistils but milky/amber trichomes?

Guys, this auto just entered day 103. I'm sick of growing autos, want to grow some Malawi. This gg auto threw some new white pistils(foxtails) and the pistils haven't changed any color in 10 days. Should I chop? Is there a better way to check on the trichomes without jeweler's loupe?

All the pictures I took are from different parts of the plant and the trichome pics are from the calyxes.

Thanks in advance.20210221_122752.jpg20210221_122757.jpg20210221_122732.jpg20210221_122705.jpg

Trics grow and degrade constantly, new clear ones will pop up and older ones amber out.

Finding that sweet spot is a personal choice. (few to little amber ones for me please)

Stressed plants will toss out new growth. Stressed from being alive too long, Kinda funny!
Would you chop here? I will probably wait until day 105 or day 110 tops. Thanks for your help.

Your ladies look just like mine and I'm at 11 weeks from flip..... I have no amber trics and lots of cloudy ones.

I'm waiting and looking each day to see 10 of them! then Timber!

Guys, still haven't chopped. The white hairs from the foxtails are still white, don't believe they will turn amber any time soon. Thinking of chopping in a week after one final feed. Any advice? (I know there are some hairs in there from the walking furballs I have inside the house.)

BTW, I've had a handful of grows where I waited and waited for the trics to turn amber, before finally giving up and harvesting.

They're ready
Hey buddy I think so too. It's been 2 weeks since I made this thread and all the amber trichomes receeded into the bud but the white hairs from the foxtails stayed the same. Don't be confused with the pictures that I uploaded the first time. I uploaded new pics of both plants today. Your thoughts on the gorilla glue?
