I'm having a hard time focusing with my eyes or even using my phone with a jewelry loupe to tell if my trichromes are milky or not. It's my first ever grow so I'm not very used to this.

Make sure you are looking at the trichomes on the buds. In my experience the sugar leaf trichs always turn a little bit before the trichs on and in the buds.

Looks like it could go a little longer though : )

I can’t really tell from the photos but honestly in my experience everytime I’ve felt like chopping give it another week,

I don’t start looking for amber untill I see some colour come out the leafs nd can visible see the plant using up the nitrogen on the leaves, this helps with the breakdown of ensymes nd tht when drying and curing giving you a better taste nd smell

Yeah and you should look at the trichs on the flowers. Not such a "big" leaf but even that looks like not ready

30-40% milky? No ambers though. 2 and a half weeks at any odds over a nickel.
