Help with Buds

Enclosed is a picture of buds picked milky with a few amber, suppose to be white widow auto, what am I do wrong I can plenty of bud but none seems really tight like nuggets like everyone else, outside grow, fabric pots. Very light on nutrients . 20210809_142412.jpg
 
Well I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong, people say on this forum to pick when milky etc why I was asking on this site, if I was doing anything wrong or something I could do better and of course you said wait longer.

Maybe it needed to go longer. But under microscope on bud all trichs were milky turning amber
It needed to flower much longer. You harvested early. Don't even bother looking at trichomes until the plant is visually done. You're doing it backwards and looking at trichomes first and cutting early based on the trichomes. I like many others don't even look at trichomes. I don't need a microscope to know when the plant is done.

If you're going by that chart many go by then stop. It's a terrible chart that leads many growers to harvest much too early.

This is the chart I'm talking about. It's a terrible information. And what makes it so bad is that it's from a website that many apparently get all their other bad information from.

There's good info to be found on that page but you are correct, some stuff just has not been updated and it is just spreading bad info at times.
