Are my trichomes milky/ cloudy? Can see a couple of amber ones. These pics are from different bud sites on the plant.

Hey! I would wait a bit more.. Harvest window opens when you start getting amber pistils. Normally when there's 70% amber and 30% white pistils they're ready but that's not always the case. The best way to check is looking at the trichomes. Clear trichomes haven't reached their full potencial yet, cloudy ones are full of THC and amber are losing THC while gaining CBN. So depending on your preference whether you want more of a head high or body high. I normally use a 60x magnifying glass to look at trichomes when there are about 50/50% white and amber pistils. I harvest when after examining and finding 70% cloudy trichomes and 30% amber trichomes. For me that's a prefect combination, depending on the strain as well. Have in mind if you use nutrients you'll need to flush the roots, watering with PHed water only for at least a week. Good luck and Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

Unfortunately my friend this still has some time to go, the problem is you looking at the trichomes on the sugar leaves instead of directly on the bud which you should be checking, you have to remember that the trichomes on the sugar leave mature way faster than those on the buds. You'll know she's ready when 50-70% of the hairs have darkened and are receding back into the plant, along with the trichomes being milky/cloudy, this when the THC is at it's highest. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember " Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time ".

As Mrs Larimar writes, she's not at all done growing buds judging by the lack of withered pistils.

I would give her more Time, Its abig Plant... and she looks totally green and pisitls are white,,,,,, Continue with feeding ( no need to let her starve) and iam sure in the upcoming 2 Weeks the buds will double no need to flush.. or giving her just water.... Nutrients and chlorophyll braks down while curing https://www.rxgreentechnologies.com/rxgt_trials/flushing-trial/
