The longer you let it grow the more ripe the buds will get. More amber is more of a cbd effect. Heavy cloudy is a high thc content. I like heavy cloudy with a few Ambers on the buds. Not leaves. The flushing and running out of nutrition will help ripen buds faster. Plus bring out any colors. Good luck and happy growing 🌱🤜🤛

Yes, some strains will not have any/many amber trichomes due to their genetics and this is the flaw in the oft quoted theory of "30% amber trichomes" repeated by some people like it is the only way, without ever questioning if it is suitable for every plant and in every situation. I would be harvesting asap, before even more THC breaks down into CBD and CBN, 2 non-psychoactive cannabinoids. Since all of your plants pistils have turned brown, peak stage of health has well and truly passed, and she is on her journey towards death, meaning she can no longer produce new "replacement" THC faster than the THC she already has made is breaking down into CBD and CBN and this is all due to her declining metabolism being unable to support new THC synthesis efficiently. This is why late picked flowers often produce a heavy and sleepy body stone effect, due to the elevated CBD and CBN levels and the diminished amount of THC. If you prefer a more mind bending THC influenced head high, harvesting any future plants when there are 90-95% brown pistils, will produce that sort of effect. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Honestly I would have to see the trichromes thru my digital microscope I hook up to a laptop to tell. That's what I do. But if you really want to continue flushing without looking closely at the trichromes, I'd go 3 more days maximum. Some plants just don't fade as well as others do.

If you want some amber color trichromes which give you more a couch lock high, let it stay longer. You'll probably get some color out of the leaves too if you choose to keep flushing

If your buds look 100% milky then harvest it now for highest THC, your leaves are still green because it was still managing to take a little nutrients in. You can flush more but with how its looking it looks prime for harvest. But again that's based off your milky suggestion. I can't see the trichromes very well.
