Trichomes question

[PEOPLEZ]

im in my 8th week into flowering and the trichromes are cloudy. im looking for the milky amber trichrome. approximately how long do it take for the trichromes to change from cloudy to milky amber and when am i suppose to flush ?

 

[labexperiment]

Cloudy and milky are terms used to describe the same thing, amber is the final stage and describes the color. I believe you have mixed milky and amber in some way that you should not have.

It goes from clear to cloudy to amber it has 3 stages.

 

[BarnacleBill]

Correct, three stages. Clear, milky then amber. Its really dependent upon the strain and flowering time for the strain. Harvesting when milky will tend to give you a more of a cerebral high. While waiting for them to turn amber will give you more couch lock.

Optic terms would be transparent, translucent and opaque.

It could be anywhere from 10 to 21 days; each plant behaves differently. I find it that my top buds reach the desired % of amber faster than the lower ones, so I harvest accordingly. Patience is key here if your goal is to get the medicinal characteristics of your plant... Night time weed if you would. However once the majority of your trichomes are cloudy; you could harvest if speedy high is desired. I'll be harvesting my top buds soon as hey get the champagne shade (70 %) that I seek. CHEERS!

So mine are still whitish. That mean I still have like a week or two?

 

[LTKNG]

Yes more time is required, perhaps two weeks but you'll know as long as you keep monitoring trichomes daily.
