I give it a wider look... if I see what looks like a hundred trichs, and 10 or 12 look amber, than I figure I'm at around 90% cloudy / 10% amber.
It's approximate, of course.

No problem. Happy to help.
Don't restrict your trichome check to one area, either.
Look at several different sites, and then kinda average it out in your mind.... Some buds may mature a little faster than others, such as the little ones lower down that aren't receiving as much light. Your main cola may show cloudy/amber, while your lower nugs may still be at clear/cloudy. :D

Sure, lots of people do it that way... Harvesting buds as they are ready and leaving others to mature a little longer.

I'm not sure of any effect it may have on the other buds, but hey.. When they're that close to harvest, there's really not enough time left for anything too serious to happen. :rastasmoke:
