Trichome Advice for Newbie Please...

[Pigzmickey]

Hi Guys & Gals, I'm currently in week 9 of my first ever grow.
I'm trying a variant called "Cake Batter", the supplier advised 70-80 days to harvest. I'm using coco in home made air-pot, 2x Mars Hydro TS600's, a Mars Hydro 70x70x160 tent on a schedule of 22/2. She looks & smells great, but I've seen vids that tell me to get prepared to flush in advance, don't leave things to the last minute.

My question is about the trichome "clear/cloudy/amber" thingy, I'm assuming mine are clear, but there are so many online comparisons, and I have no experience.
Can you peeps take a look at my pics taken via microscope & advise, thanks in advance...

I'll provide several pics, as they are undoubtedly more accurate than my description.

Breeder times are just estimates. You have a couple weeks yet at least. You want to look at bud trichs, not sugar leaves, they ripen faster. Your pistils are still all white and straight, they should be almost entirely brown and curled in when the plant is ready. They will also fatten up more. How close is your light? Have some leaf tacoing happening and that fan is awful close to them... just my two cents that you didn't ask for lol...

The tent is not large enough to reposition the fan, although the grill rotates as opposed to oscillation, so it never actually touches the plant & keeps the entire area moving gently.
My lights are about 12"-15" from the main canopy, obviously closer to the main cola. I tend to adjust it daily, within a 3" difference. I fancy that sunlight fluctuates daily, so I'm mimicking this...
My temp is around 26 degrees Celsius & RH fluctuates between 45% & 55%. I did discover a pH on the low side for a few weeks, around 5.4. Should I feed some CalMag for a week or so?

Generally looks good, but you're well away from needing to check trichs. As was already said, wait until all the white stigmas are red and shriveled.

Cal/Mag is not going to change your pH, if that's you're intent. I never recommend adding cal/mag, unless you suspect the two are deficient. It could be a benefit if there's no calcium in your water, but if there is, just about a teaspoon of epsom salts per gallon of water will supply magnesium.

If you want to change your soil pH, I'd go with some finely ground, dolomitic limestone or regular, plain old limestone.

Calcium, while it is needed in fairly high amounts by cannabis, can also lockout multiple nutrients if there is too much.

I should re-word just to clarify...
I discovered a low pH, this I corrected immediately. But, it would have been this way for several weeks!
Should I now dose the CalMag to make-up for the previous pH issue? As I understand it, the low pH would of made it impossible for the plant to have taken Calcium & Magnesium from the nutes I was feeding her.

No your plants look good. Don't screw with a good thing....lol
Just keep trucking along the same as you have been.
Definitely have a few weeks left with all those white hairs. Like was stated above wait until the hairs have turned color and withered.
By then most of your trichs should be cloudy with some being amber.
