When you say wait a bit, do you means weeks or days? She was flipped on Feb 2 meaning she is 8 weeks and 1 day in flowering
I was thinking maybe thursday / Sunday to harvest. Ill connect the microscope before I do just to make sure.
Cheers,

The stigmas is what tell you when is ready to harvest not the trichomes

I'm also growing Bubblelicious and you are ahead of me. Mine are still in veg, coming up on 4 months. (going for bigger, but fewer plants) Since BBL is supposed to be for medicine, not trippy highs, I'd wait till the hairs are 80% brown, and, if your eyes are good enough to distinguish clear from cloudy, wait till the trics are mostly cloudy.
I don't know if BBL trics turn amber before you lose all the THC. Would appreciate some insight from someone with experience with the BBLs.

It depends what sort of high your after, if your after a heady high id wait a week youve still got a lot of clear trichomes.
If your after a couch lock type high you want more amber trichomes so maybe about 2 weeks.
Yes you can use the stigmas as a rough estimate to harvest but trichomes are more accurate and you can gauge what type of high better

This is a bit misleading. You can go by BOTH trics and brown hairs, especially if you can't see the trics very well, even with a loupe. Those of us who can't see the difference between clear and cloudy trics (old eyes), go by the percentage of brown hairs. If you have a digital camera, you can take a pic and judge the level of maturity.
The digital camera seems to pick up details the eye doesn't discern. For example, the camera generally shows more white hairs than what I'm seeing in person. This may be a perceptual thing. You want the harvest to hurry up, and so you are focused in on the presence of brown hairs, but the digital camera picks up what is really there.
BTW: My OGK's never did make amber trics, even when the buds were almost to the point of drying on the bare branches.

Ok so I harvested on Day 133 from clone because I needed to move another plant in this tent.
I dried the bud for 4 days and branches where already starting to "crack". I weighed the buds and the total was146 grams! Im sure they will still reduce a bit more plus I may need to trim a little more. so I would say around 135 grams maybe.. ?
Im not getting the fruity smell or super sticky icky fingers from the buds. However if I press my fingers on the buds they do start to smell REAL nice. Will the smell get better during the curing process?
Either way here are the pics.

The scent gets much more mellow during the curing process! You will lose any grassy or harsh stink during the first month or two, then over time, it will be quite appealing. I like to open my older jars periodically and smell the difference a good cure has on the aroma.

That one would work if you have a computer and software to attach it to.
If you want a more portable one try this one.
Amazon: Carson 60X-100X MicroMax LED Lighted Pocket Microscope (MM-200)
The only downfall is that it's very hard to take pictures with it, and if you somehow manage to it comes out like this:
