You can get a little jewelers loupe or a 60x scope for about 15.00. Takes the guess work out. Amazon they are cheap.

no need to apologize. questions are the reason this forum exists.
i just know i saw mostly cloudy on the pics you first put. and THAT is what you want to see, usually.
if you having trouble viewing trichomes yourself. i think you should try to upload more pics and others can verify.
got pics of trichomes from larger plant?
thank you …I’ll take some more pictures with my cheap microscope camera of both plants and post them ,…the problem with the scope is colors are a bit hazy and …Honestly my visions so bad that even clear is blurry…lol
Post the pics and let us be your eyes 
First off Thank you all for your help, I’m ordering a Carson “pocket microscope” 60x-120x from amazon , But the window to harvest is pretty short and I don’t know how long it will take to receive it…the first pictures are of the little plant ( I only took a couple of her ) one major problem with the scope I use is the leds used on it for illumination are either too bright or dim with a yellowish hue ( when looking for amber trichs it throws things off a bit …and my eyesight doesn’t help either…lol )…any way the rest of the pics are of the big plant and some side nugs along with the main cola…most of the “Pistils” on the small plant are curling back towards the buds ( a few under 1/2? the tips are turning brown , The “Pistils” on the big plant are doing the same but there’s more that are still white and aren’t curling back…hope I explained that well enough Again thank you all for your help , you all have my deepest Gratitude…Peace
The 3rd, 7th, and 8th picture look nice and milky/cloudy, the rest of them still look pretty clear, again nice job buddy they are looking good and if the pistils are turning brown they are starting to mature up
lmao found a hermie in my flower room today 
caught it early so no pollen wasn’t that surprised was a heat stressed lady that had a rough second week in flower room
Rather funny since would be harvesting her by end of week instead bucked whole limb off inspected the rest only one thus far

No bueno
Hi all , I’ve got a couple questions first off is it pretty common for feminised autoflowering plants to go WAY longer than the seed companies advertised " 7 week harvest" ? ( from what I’m observing both plants are still producing new pistils…Buds? ) and second what should I be looking for ( lol…I’m blind in one eye and can barely see out of the other…) …yes the trichomes are the best way to gauge harvest ( I ordered a 60x 100x pocket scope today ) But besides the trichs what else?..Thank you all …PEACE
Hair color Change besides trichomes
what percentage would you suggest ( about half right now are tan, caramel in color )…on the small plant…thanks
I would suggest about 70-90% so about 85% color Change in the pistils that would probably give you the buzz your lookin for
thank you very much, at the rate shes turning I’m thinking a few more days ( just checked her out and the tips of the pistils are turns brown on almost all of the little one ) …thank you very much …the tips of the pistils that is…lol
If I were you I would wait for your pocket scope.
You got time.

I would wait to, why cheat yourself of bigger buds. You have time, don’t rush.
The girls are not as thirsty as they had been ( at one point you could set your watch by when they wanted watering…lol ) but now they are drinking less, . Is that also a sign of maturing?, also should I give them ( well the big one anyway ) a lite “snack” phosphorous and potassium i/4 dose with they’re next watering?, just curious…Thanks…Peace
