Trichomes looking good?

I got a microscope today to get some "scientific" insight from my plant:

What do you guys think? Looks pretty transparent to me, so will take some more time I guess...

Cheers :leaf:

is that max magnification? its not so easy to tell from the pictures exactly what colours they are. they do over all look clear/milky, but it could be the light.

It doesn't look ready to me, but there's not enough magnification to really be able to tell. That looks like only about 15-20x magnification max to me.

don't worry about how dark the trichomes on the leaves get it's the buds. you only want 1/3-3/4(max) amber trichomes. Every strain is different in timing. I had one of my purp. urkles go almost all amber a couple of weeks ago. I didnt have time to flush but it was still fire. The Sun degrades trichomes. (that day was really hot) But all my other urkle are almost ready to harvest. I still have a day or two.

So, what I should look at with the scope are the trichomes on the pistils?
