Trichome Check

I'm trying to get an idea of how much longer this plant has left to harvest but I really can't tell the difference between clear and milky trichomes. I'd like to harvest when the plant gets to about 10-15% amber. Any estimates as to how much longer I have based on these pics?

I'm not sure if it's just the way the pic is but it looks like you're past 15% amber.

I dont see that at all.

Hard to tell from that pic though

Looks to me like mostly cloudy. Maybe 1-2 weeks left. I try to focus more on amber cause cloudy and milky can be harder to tell. Id feed plain phd water until it reaches the amount of amber you want. I go usually between 10-30 percent

might wanna crop the image better, to much tunnel vision, that's what i didn't when i started ckin the trichs, and it would give you a better idea as well

I saved the image and messed around with it. Still hard to tell and my vision is perfect. All i see for sure are cloudy trichs

that's what i noticed to for the most part, it is still hard to tell cause of the tunnel vision the pic has

Thanks everyone for chiming in. Apologize for the horrible pics I used one of those cell phone microscopes and it's really difficult to get a steady picture with it. I have a loupe on the way hopefully that will work better.

you do like i did, take a hair wrap, and wrap the look the cell phone camera, and go that way. and before i post, i always crop the picture the best i can and go from there. just an idea

Ive taken pics through a loupe. Same idea. Digital handheld microscope is the only reliable thing for trichome pics it seems. I dont have one myself but have seen them used in threads many times and its the best way
