50/50 trichomes, but buds don’t look ready?

50-50 clear/amber trich’s (60/40) in some spots, but I didn’t think the buds looked ready? I made a post roughly 2 weeks ago with people estimating 3 weeks minimum (thx for those that did), but with the trich’s looking the way they do what do you think? Is she ready? Thanks in advance y’all. First time grower.

You’ve got awhile like a month at least. Where are you checking the trichromes at the leaves? If so it’s wrong leaves will amber early way early.

What he said

Yes you have a ways to go but thats a great thing. Your bud really bulks up and puts on weight in the last few weeks.
See this pic,

which does yours look closer to and you can see how when its done most of those hairs have receded and the bud has swelled.

Or go get a 60x loupe or digital microscope and zoom in on the trichs until they are this clearly visible.

Much appreciated. I was checking on the top and middle buds, but it’s literally the first time I’ve examined trich’s in this stage which is why I needed some info. Good to know I have a little more yield coming. I was checking with both 30x and 60x, I’ll try to get a pic of them but the scope is small af. I did screen shot both of those pics, thanks man. I’ll bump this post in a month with an update.
