too burry to see anything...but, looking at a bud leaf under the microscope..
...if you see 5% amber?...this is where I stop...:stoned:
I like to use a 30X jewelers loop, looking at an area of tricomes. Many of your trics looked a little clearish to me, you may have a couple weeks depending on conditions. I like to see a few more than 5% amber, but I like more cbns and cbcs with a rich serving of thc. By the way do you have a good digital camera? If you do and many of the cheaper ones also have a Macro setting use it and when you zoom up it can yield great picts.
Dutch points out a good trick there about the guard leves that surround the bud, pluck it off lay it out and it's easy to get a better picture or view, and you should be able to see an array of trics in the image.
I got my microscope at radioshack for 11 bucks. it's 60x to 100x .

Ur usually right on, Think that u could give me a heads up on my grow. Approx. 10 weeks into flower & I know that u remember the crap I had to go thru to induce her to keep from hermimg on me so he goes some of the flowers "Close Up" using a Nikkor 1:1 macro. Cheers

Dutch, Pain:
To give ya an idea as to the size of the colitas @ the top level, they are as big or bigger than 20 oz coca cola bottles & just as much circumference. Didn't have a bottle to give frame of reference. Here are a few of the top flowers & I think if ya zoom in we could see the colors. Appears close to 75% but still think there's a final push?

Plants growing outdoors kinda has their own rules....(depending on location)
about all you can do is watch the trichs & the calendar
So, from what u can see am I close to being there since its like 2 months plus in flower?

I see enough amber that I would be cutting it.
75% Amber, I'd harvest asap! I was fortunate to get to see some, almost identical outdoor grown plants, very similar to yours, a few days ago.
They are ready for harvest, depending on what you are looking for. Have you taken a sample, yet? Best way to know!
Only push you are going to see, is Spring, imo. Don't wait too long, it will create more problems. :jointsmile: pr
Cool Beans!
Will cut a few flowers down from the top. Thanks for your input. As always knowledge is king! Btw, gave her a small dose of nutes this a.m. so will do this tomorrow! It will not have a funky taste secondary to a light feed..... ???

:thumbsup:Estaban1, you may want to flush/rinse, before you harvest. What effect did you get? Usually, outside, the trichomes, seem to darken at a slower pace than indoors. Take your time, but don't wait too long. Or you'll start making undesirable seeds. Smoke Report, Please? :jointsmile: pr

Took down like 20 flowers with like another 40 to go... Here is a better shot of what's drying. Truly hope that it doesn't taste harsh!?
