Looking at the trichomes on my Anubis plant, they are at least 80-90% milky and 10% Amber which is where I would normally like them to be. However, there are so many whit hairs still I don't know what to do. Looking at the pics can anyone give a word of advice?

just a matter of how you weight the benefit of slightly more mass -- those white pistils are probably newer growth -- a last ditch effort to get knocked up, biologically speaking. i figure if it's a few percent more mass, i'd rather harvest when i prefer than wait... but, your mileage may vary.. each to their own on this. A large operation may look at it differetly but if yield is a couple pounds, it only adds up to a few grams more, but a week or two of time... not worth it, imo. looks like a bit of spiraling in the one photo... could just be a little intense light on tip of colas causing some pistils to shoot out. i definitely don't wait for spirals/foxtailing for same reasons... even snip it off for hash/rosin bin.

To find out when it’s time to harvest your plant, you can use a jeweller’s loupe or a small microscope to regularly check your plants’ trichomes. You can observe whether the trichomes turn from clear to a milky white colour. If many of the trichomes you see are still clear and transparent, it means it’s still too early for harvest. But when most of the trichomes have an amber colour and an opaque clarity, this means that the THC content of the buds is at its maximum and the plant is ready for harvest. happy growing bro 👍

An for the pistil part suggest harvest when 70-85% have turned orange an curled down to the bud.

I would cut in my opinion if you have only 10% or less clear trichomes heads I would say cut it you can let her go but she’ll amber up more come down to personal taste I suggest when trichomes are 70-80% milky an rest amber an some clear.
