So today marks 6 weeks of flowering for my 3 plants. I'm growing Jacky White, which according to the seed packet has an 8 week flowering period. Inner leaves are just starting to yellow and die, the hairs are about 40% red and everything seems to be on track. Here's the catch, today I checked them under 200X magnification and the trichs seem to have changed to amber. Ive been checking them every few days, up until a week ago they were crystal clear, then last time I began to see the cloudy milky coloring, and now all of the sudden Amber.

What should I do,
A. wait 2 more weeks anyway...
B. Harvest the largest nugs, leave the underdeveloped inner ones...
C. Chop them down, its time...

I should add that while this is not my first grow, its the first time Ive used a microscope to check the trichs, previously I just watch the hairs and count the weeks.

Thanks for the advice, I'm just a little nervous about cutting them down this early, or letting them go when the trichs look ready.

can you post a pic?>

I'm on my first grow waiting for that magic moment.. I wouldn't argue with trichs, myself. How's your light in your microscope? That high of magnification need to be well-backlit.

Harvest. If they turn brown what you have is something for your compost pile.

the scope has a lousy light but its so bright in the room it always looks ok... i know its not just a scope issue because previously they always looked crystal clear

If I were you, I'd be trimming bud leaves by now.

I went to take a pic of the trichs under magnification but the lights are allready off for the night... I'll try and post one when they are back on around 1pm tomorrow

.....that is one frickin' awesome bud.

I can see the amber in the trichs (not individually, but as a mass) in the photo with my naked eye.
