I do have something to looks at trichomes, at the moment they are mostly milky, clear with a couple ambers here and there. I know its all about the trichomes and not the pistils. Im still expecting to do the full nine weeks not 8 as im on 6.7 so basically 7 then two weeks nd hopefully she'll be done. On my last grow my trichomes were mostly milky with some amber, high was intense at first the faded quickly, so def wana get it right this time ! :stoned:

Best to Google it, I slightly modified the technique so I could incorporate another technique to aid drying featured in JC's Ultimate Grow dvd. Anyway, it worked for me, no doubt. The way I Stress Ripened is covered in my 1st grow log.
