Trics do turn an amber colour as they get past peak potency I think. Are you sure that's not just a reflection ? I've never even heard of black Trics. Sorry dude

Well I thought that because when I was moving my head around they seemed to disappear so I clipped little leaf off and checked under no light and they're still there but only on dying sugar leaves

I
Peek down into a bud to be sure, bend it open. Your call.
I have done mate been checking daily for bud rot because of sugar leaf yellowing.they're still clear all of the buds every single one except the yellowing sugar leaves which are on multiple buds. all have these brown tips on trichomes maybe it's dead because the dying leaf shes 6 weeks in 8 week flowering time ?

Bro who cares about the leaf, watch the bud.
Amber trichs are mature and provide a couch lock body stone

Clear trichs are pre mature

Milky trichs are mature and provide a heady high

Trichs showing dark dark brown or black means thc is breaking down and degrading.

LMFAO...You diagnosed it yourself...the leaf is dying, so everything on it is going to die, look to the center newer growth to determine what the trichs look like, I don't even use my loupe too much anymore, once the leaves really start turning yellow and she won't drink as much as she used to, all the pistils (lil hairs) are all receded and your calyxes have swollen........she's done....peace bro.
