This plant was put into flower, then revegged, so thats why it looks retarded, at least I think its why. And yeah its literally covered in popcorn nugs, however the middle stem and all other stems are covered in flowers so hopefully when its finished its one big nug :)
how long would you guys guesstimate? as far as I can tell the trichomes are taking on a whiter fuller collror, or most of them anyway. I've only spotted maybe 2 or 3 trichomes I would consider maybe amber, but I lost sight of them D: All I have for magnification is this camera lense thing, its a bit more zoomed in in person than in the pics

hey man im in the same boat other than having a bunch of popcorn nugs. but i cut a nug off and tested it and it was bomb. i would say try that. i dryed with a blow dryer and a margarita glass with a mag on top. if yours are done then mine have to be too. cant tell if its your plant stain but your calyx look brown/red. on mine just the tips of the calyx are turning that color. Test it and you shall be rewarded

Most if not all hairs are all orange, only the hairs on the inner nugs look under-developed
I cant really tell the difference between cloudy and clear trichomes, either that or a vast majority of the trichomes are cloudy and I cant find any clears to compare them to? Ive been keeping my eye out for ambers but so far I havent really noticed any definite red colored trichomes, this process is the most frustrating for me when it comes to growing it seems. I may just cut off a lower bud and a higher bud and try both, will I definitely be able to tell if I've waited too long to harvest?

You're probably OK if not seeing any amber. I can't imagine not being able to tell clear from cloudy though. It's pretty discernible with a decent microscope or loop. You could shine a flash light at the trichomes when viewing them. If you see a line of reflection (shine) then those are clear. The cloudy ones don't reflect the light as well.

Im using a cheap $12 handheld microscope and this things light fuckin sucks. Sure I can see the trichomes but as far as colors go they're pretty much impossible to make out, I can see which trichomes have a "fuller" or whiter appearance, but my brain can never decide if what im seeing is a amber or a milky trichome
