New Grower trichome confusion

[furrything]

i have some ak autos(RQS) going, and dinafem white widow, and some creamatics(RQS).
i chopped one last nite, but i dont know if i choped it too early or too late.
all outdoor, biobizz soil +ferts.
the trichs on the ww and the creamatics are cloudy, just like what you would get if you google imaged 'cloudy trichomes', but they could go a bit more, still lots of white pistils and the plants havent yellowed much in the leaves.
but the aks have yellowed quite a bit, dark pistils, very high leaf to bud ratio.
the problem is when i look tru the scope i see shiny clear trichomes, but more of a long shape that looks mature, just not cloudy, and barely any amber at all.
Its confusing, because the aks are the furthest along.
i lost my microscope a couple of weeks ago, so i havent been able to see what they looked like a week ago.
could it just be a sativa indica thing?

some autos don't amber very much if at all. The leaves are your best bet if you wanna know when to harvest but i'm not gonna tell you to chop anything without pictures just to be sure. Hope this helps.

as you can see the widow and creamatic are way off, still small buds.
the ak is much yellower looking in real life. but full looking, even if it is more leafy than buddy, but the trichs on the creamatic and the widow are cloudier.

i should also add that i showed these pics to the grow shop owner yesterday and he said they look good to chop, i had intended on letting her go another week.

i might have a camera that can take pic of the trichomes, il see tomomrro, dark here now

they look like they need another couple weeks to fatten up but maybe that's just me

here's a good read...:smokebuds:looks to me like 2 or 3 more weeks, that's when they put on the weight.

As you can see the widow and creamatic are cloudier, even tho the aks have had priority on light, nutes, water, and were germed a couple of days earlier, and the widow is ment to take longer, and the aks are now yellowing up almost all green gone on some of them, whereas the widows are the greenest.

in muddy's article on harvesting, he says he leaves it till the small leaves are gone yellow, at this point surely the plant has no more left to give, therefore it is a late harvest, and an earley one would be not so yellow.

pics taken with canon powershot sx110, i have a lot of cameras, but this one is spectacular on macros. way better than the microscopes.

I think GoAuto is spot on here.
