Trying to get a good eye. This CBD's trichomes are much smaller and harder for me to judge. I'd say 80-90% cloudy, 10-20% clear, 0% amber. Whats your guru's and growmies call? + Guessing a 10-14d Harvest? (White Widow CBD)

Looking good! I'd give it another few weeks. Looks like there's quite a few clears on the calyx' so your intuition is close in my books, but my preference is having at least 10-15% amber :) The calyx' trichomes are starting to cloud-up, so they'll still need to cloud the entire heads before getting white and milky. If I've got this right, the reason their pigment will turn orange is they're transitioning from THC to CBN. So if you're wanting more CBN in your CBD strain, might be worth pushing it til there substantially more amber e.g. 20% I'd push it as long as possible so the calyx' can swell up substantially. Personally, I also ensure there aren't many white pistils (strain dependant) and instead, pistils are orange and shaky. This is often weeks longer than marketed 'finish' time. Keep on watering and keeping her going and enjoy your harvest!

Do you have a shot of the whole flower? I find it easier to judge from looking at what the whole flower is doing rather than trying to judge trichomes. From what I see here you still have a bit to go, but difficult to judge.

I believe that flowering takes 8 weeks even if it’s an autoflower. Your diary is on week 5 of flower. So in my book you have about an other 3 weeks give or take a few days. Some flowers can be fully mature in 7 weeks but it’s rare that they’re that quick. Some growers may have a different opinion, however I always push my flowering period for 8 weeks. My purple punch auto just started week 8 of flower yesterday and I still see some clear tricromes. I just did an inspection today. Those are my thoughts. Doesn’t mean I’m right but that’s how I do it.
