I’m seeing a lot of amber but it’s only the end of week 7 (day 49) of flower. I haven’t even given them their final flush. Can someone look at these pics of my trichomes and tell me what you think?
Interior portions of bud for amber trichs, not sugar leaves on exterior

Like @PharmerBob said. Take a sample from the calyx where the pistils emerge.
This is the difference. I took these a couple days ago.

AHA! I knew they weren’t ready. Several buds still kind of “airy” if you know what I mean. Hope they will get more dense (harder, thicker, ??) in the next week or two. Thanks for the advice and the awesome illustrative pics.
They will certainly fill in more. Light buds can be strain related - sativas are generally not as dense. The amount and quality of the light and also location on the plant.

These are close ups of a tiny piece of calyx or bract. All trichome still clear. You can zoom in on these for amazing pics. Cheap little clip on magnifier for my phone.
Does that 2nd pic look like some of those trichomes are turning darker? One is Gelato, the other is GG4. Can you tell which is which? When they first started developing trichomes, it was quite obvious whic was the Gorilla Glue. Just drenched in frost. The Gelato has almost caught up in trichome coverage, but still not as thick or sticky. That Gorilla Glue is amazing looking. Can’t wait!!! I’m watching the trichomes closely now, but we are starting week 8 today and I’m just hoping I can harvest dry and cure this bud by Christmas day.
What are you using to get those close up pics? I thought mine were good, but yours are like professional quality.
I know there are a ton of these but anyone be kind enough to give a guestimate? would help me a lot
Check out post 7. I show what USB scope I use
