Hi there J, basically all trichomes look milky when your magnification isnt strong enough, you need 40x magnification to be able to tell, anything under this and all the trichomes look milky white. try 60x to be comfortable. So yeah they look white, but they might not be and there's really only one way to tell. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hey It's hard to say without a good close up pictures but they look pretty cloudy. Harvest window opens when you start getting amber pistils(hairs). Normally when there's 70% amber and 30% white pistils they're ready to start flushing but that's not always the case. The best way to check is looking at the trichomes with a 60x magnifying loupe. Clear trichomes haven't reached their full potency, 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 start 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 only with PHed water or a flushing product for at least a week. As for the difference between CLOUDY or CLEAR.. Clear trichomes look like shiny glass while cloudy ones look like more like plastic. Good luck and Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

Hi! Looks like most of the trichomes are cloudy (or milky what ever you like to call it) Not so much amber ones atleast in those photos and some clear headed too. Hard to say 100% with that magnifier but I'd say you can start to think about the harvest now and maybe in few days to week you can harvest. It depends on the high your looking for too
