Yet another trichome and harvest thread!

[high acutance]

I am growing The Fuzz by Bodhi and G-13 Genius by Bros. Grimm, outdoors, in fabric pots and organic super soil. In checking the trichs, I see almost all cloudy with very few clear or amber. My previous grows, indoor, have had a wider spectrum. Harvest was made when the trichs were about 15% clear, 70% cloudy, and 15% amber. Lately I've read that amber is really too far gone. Are these ladies ready to chop? Anything to be gained by waiting?

Canon MP-E 65mm 2.8 with a lens adapter to mount to a full frame Sony camera. Most important, a focus rail so that the rig can be moved back and forth in very small increments. A series of photos are taken with very small depth adjustments between them. Then the stack of photos are combined in the computer with Photoshop. The technique is known as "focus stacking." Otherwise, at these high magnifications, the depth of field is so thin only a small portion of the plant is in focus. If you want a bargain approach, the Canon EF-M 28mm 2.8 Macro lens is excellent.
