Give it no longer than 1 more week - you have many cloudy/milky tic's but the # of "clear" colored tic's is a bit to many. You have a 15 day window for harvesting your plants
what if I want the couch lock high

Then you want "amber" color of tic's - maybe 80% amber color. if you go 50/50 (milky/amber) mix you will get the best of both worlds. You will find that no matter what color of tic's you want - there will all ways be some "clear" tics'
How much longer for amber trichs

When i see amber its usually time to chop. Tester bud will go a long way in determining doneness. Cut one off and dry it and then smoke it. Take your time with the tester and dont do anything like microwaving it. Treat it proper. Id never go to 80% amber tricombes, thats stupid. Post a picture of the plant, regardless of if theres mite damage or its small, nobody cares, youll get a better answer from a whole pic than some trics.

I usually cut down at 55 days. Just seeing the first ambering and all or almost all of the white hairs have turned red.

It's close. You need more amber. I agree on the week estimate. I'd be checking them daily.

I keep a light bulb under it on a screen with air flow. The light may degrade the thc a bit but i think the most important thing to look for is taste. Hay or cut grass taste means too early.
I'll put pics when I get home. when do you start counting day 1? when flowers form or when you flip to 12/12

When you flip to 12/12. Keep in mind that thc will still degrade after you harvest. So if you harvest 50/50 it will end up 60/40 ect as light and heat will degrade it. Thats why anything more then 50/50 is kinda pointless unless you about that life lol.
Here's one of the plants with the trichome pics i took today

The 3rd pic. Bottom of bud? Or sugar leaf?

Do the buds older growth (bottom of top buds) have amber chomes? If so your already at that harvest window.
