Cloudy or clear? (pics)

I'm a newb. Sorry for the blurry shots, its hard to hold the microscope steady. Are these cloudy or clear? My plants are 6.5 weeks into flower so I think its pretty darn early. The plants are yellowing (from poor health, not flush) and I would rather not harvest early unless they are ready.

BTW they are White Widow (feminized)

Hi I am no expert and on my first grow look like to me that you have a few clear and they on change to cloudy I looked up a lot on u tube

Getting cloudy .... BUT is it 6.5 weeks from ACTUAL flowering stage or TOTAL from seed ?

Pics of whole plant ?

6.5 weeks into flower. I started counting as soon as I switched to 12/12 so it's probably closer to 6 weeks. This strain is supposed to have an 8 week flower. Here are some pix -->

Nice ... Especially the mutation

So what do you think? Are the trichomes cloudy to the point of harvest or should I wait another week and a half? One of the two plants clearly isn't ready, it still has white hairs. The other has almost all orange hairs and is the one that I posted the trichome pics from. Like I said they are yellowing quickly due to poor health and I don't want to risk the buds getting F'ed up.

Wait another week I had a plant an it's leaves went yellow also but I let it go an was ok but if u worried wait till an experienced member tell S ya

It's close 50 clear 50 cloudy. most of the hairs should recede more too kinda like this(pic) id say let it go the full 8. Mine started yellowing around 6.5 weeks as well no biggie

I'm not sure whats going on with mine. I haven't started to flush yet and all the outer leaves are yellowing to hell. I'm just hoping to make it to week 8 before these girls kick the bucket.

They are yellowing BECAUSE it is going to its end of life. Watch only the triches you should be pretty close , and judge the percentage of cloudy . Some strains dont get amber triches either. Keep her on water only so it can continue to use its reserves then chop when ready.
Estimated 8 week strain - you are within the 2 week window til the end.

Also IMPORTANT : You can also do PARTIAL HARVEST during final weeks.
Example : if Frankenstein bud ( sorry ) is more mature than lowers , you can harvest those and let lowers FINISH.

Mostly cloudy. I would wait a few days(5-7) till I start seeing some amber.

That frankenbud is freaking me out...

My understanding is some just do that. Or at least that's what I tell myself.
It's most likely not supposed to happen. I wouldn't worry too much the flowers will ripen just don't pull the leaves off let them do their own thing. Your so close it won't matter much.

I believe flushing is a myth dry and cure is the factor in taste and but that's me

Thank you all very much. I feel much better now about the yellowing. This is my 1st successful grow, I appreciate all the advice.

Nice job man, looks great. I actually also had a fasciated c99, more trimming but the top is hard as rock.
