First grow seems to be coming to an end...agreed?

This is my first grow and first posting. I have 3 strains and 6 total plants in a 4x4 under 400 watt LED (Timber 100 watt COBs). This is day 32 of flowering after a longish veg (due to circumstances) of ~65 days. Kept short (3.5') via topping and small air pots (3 gal). Foxfarm everything.

They are maturing at different rates, but the ones that appear to be closest are pictured.

The question is about the trichomes. To me, they appear milky white with little to no amber. My understanding is I want a bit of amber for less "up" and more "sedate" (percentages are used all over the place and ARE all over the place).

These appear to be to be on the predominantly cloudy side. Agreed?

I'd welcome experienced opinions.

fyi...Photos shot with Nikon macro / micro set-up and focus stacked 10-15 frames.

Thanks!~

you need to zoom in more on trichomes to tell the true colors like this

i can't tell you when to harvest/etc as this is my first actual harvest i kept and 2nd grow only so im not really experienced when it comes to flowering/harvesting to speak but from my understanding more couch lock you want more amber you want. i think you can over ripen them as well after all it's a flower still. it's not like say wine where the more you age it the better it tastes. matter of fact that isn't true for every wine either some taste worst the more you age them.

thats something similar to what i bought just different brand but yea it works really good easy as shit to setup; only major issue is when connecting it to my wifi it says "unable to connect" but when i press back key it's hooked up fine. can't post the pics onto here though unless i convert the files. just got to keep the microscope stable and plant stable for really clear pics.

mine connects through a cord so no worries about wifi and all that!

i used to use a microscope app it kinda works for free but the quality is super bad

our hydro shop carries this, they were sold out of the normal loupes when i went there, decided against buying it, thinking it was another gimmick

Thanks for posting that GT256, ive been waiting on amazon/mail for the past week, still nothing, gonna run to hydro store and grab this one today.

You dont need a scope to see these still have lots of white pistils on and that you are not ready yet....

Is there ever any advice except to buy a scope...?

Wait another few week atleast.
