Harvesting Noob: Are my trichomes cloudy or clear?

[ChalupaBatman]

Second time grower here looking to make sure I learn best when to harvest. Working on a skywalker kush photo seed that has been in coco coir for almost 6 months. I wanted to see if i could get help figuring out if I am ready to harvest. I am looking for mid-type effects so the milky color.

I believe the trichomes are not ready yet but wanted to double check; appreciate the help.

Below are the details:

Time so Far: planted into a 4 gallon pot on 7/28
Light Schedule: 18 on 6 off
Soil: Organic coco coir
Nutrients: She was on the MaxiGrow, now on MaxiBloom
Water: tap water, ph is around 5.8-6.1 after ph up and nutrients etc
Light Distance: 18 inches
Tent Size: 3 x 3 feet
Grow Light: viparspectra 300w
Temperature Range: I have it maintained at a range of 85 degrees Fahrenheit
Humidity Range: started high around 55%
Ventilation: I have two fans running, one blowing near the plants and another exhausting

Beautiful garden my friend.
Great job on those girls. Looks like you are getting close but patience will be your friend here.
Lots of clear trics, no amber yet.
Give another week and have another look see. Could be longer though don’t rush.

I’m new as well and came on here searching for trich pics to compare. Did you take any more pics after this? When did you harvest? Any more info you could share would be helpful!!

I agree with Bill; wait until they at least start to amber. After that I believe it's up to strain and personal preference when (and how) you harvest.

I have to agree on the waiting but waiting is the hardest part too but you are getting close not long now

Ah, the second time today a thread about waiting for the plant and its flowers to finish what they were doing.

I can't resist.....part of the lyrics to the the song The Waiting by Tom Petty
"The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part"
