Can't distinguish amber!
I'd give that one, another week or two if grown outdoors.
Indoors, some strains don't pop amber untill they are too old.
'Course, some folks like it that way.
I prefer mostly cloudy for most strains.
And even without a 'scope, you can look for headless trichomes.
If you see a lot of missing caps, and you have not been fingering them, it's time to cut.
Under the intense sun of the tropics, a cap on a trich can go from milky to amber in a few hours.
And they can go from fat and cloudy,
to amber, orange, red-brown, brown and shriveled, then tiny, dark, and missing in less than 8 hours.
Cheap microscopes are overkill for this.
Might want to buy a 10X jeweler's loupe and check them daily.
They are only a couple bucks on da bay and quantifying is much easier with a wider field and natural light.
Good luck,
Weezard
