Any thoughts on these trichomes? Plant is only about 6 weeks through flowering, but the trichomes looks super milky and somewhat amber, and its about 80% red hairs. Strain is supposed to be an 8-9 week flowering period. I prefer higher proportion milky, but this seems early....

There are quite a bit of milky trichs, but also I do see a fair amount of clear as well as a few ambers. I think you still have 2 weeks minimum if not longer. Those buds look like they could still bulk up some more. For reference, almost every time I've grown ive had to let them go 1-2 weeks beyond the breeders estimate to achieve peak potency. So just keep that in mind and keep an eye on things. I personally shoot for 10%-20% amber and less than 5% clear. If you can take some pics even close and more focused on the buds themselves it would likely be easier to tell. I use a legit USB handheld microscope to check my buds so I can get in nice and close. Also, keep in mind that some of those that are only slightly milky may actually be clear but your lighting could be making them seem milky. I usually only count milky as the ones that are really cloudy and white.

Some autos are achieving flowering after 8 to 10 weeks so it's not too early especially if you want an energetic high effect. If you are waiting for an extra week or 2 the trichomes will slowly turn amber.
