Do trichomes always go amber?

Just curious as to whether trichomes will always go amber? I'm growing 2 strains and 1 is starting to go amber as expected (63day-70day strain) but the other is pretty much completely cloudy no amber except the odd 1 or 2 on a leaf, none actually on the buds (56-63day strain) the breeder said it will fire out sterile nanners near harvest and that's what it's doing. So wondering if it is actually ready because i do see nanners now but confused as i see no amber. Any help would be hugely appreciated. I'm at day 57 today. Strains are Bruce Banner (amber) and Mac × gorilla glue (no amber)
I'm also growing gorilla glue and almost 10 weeks into flowering and no sign of it turning amber

Some strains I've grown like black cream auto didn't amber I had purple trichomes! But most will get amber I would wait for 10% to 25% amber and for the hairs to all change color and die back and for the buds to stop swelling. Please be patient and harvest when there ready you'll thank me later. Also breeder flowering time are never really accurate.
Just got me curious any pic of that bud with purple trichomes I'm obsessed with em, that and flavor, colors, this plant is amazing

Check the calyx’s for ambers. Leaves may not amber. I’ve had autos and photos do that. There are a few out there that don’t amber til after chop…
