Purple Trichome Heads

Hi guys, I've had some strains that make purple trichome heads, but I've always harvested due to circumstance/mold etc, this is the first time that I can let them finish properly. Do you just harvest with purple like you would amber, or do they eventually oxidize into amber.

Thanks!

Can you post a photo or is it too late?

Ok here we go, I waited too long for the shots so the light's already fading/orange-tinted but if you look close you can kinda see it. The purple stalks are more apparent, but if you look close you should be able to see a lavender tint on some of the heads. That's how it looks through the scope, where normally a head would be turning slowly amber, these go from lavender to dark purple. One plant is half purple thai (purple duck maybe the more I work with it) which shows it strongly, the other is temeple flo x f13 f2 which shows it to a lesser degree but essentially the same thing. I know these pics don't show it like the 60x, but I hope it gets the idea across.

Also the resolution kinda sucks cause my slr takes really big files, and then I have to find the sweet spot of resizing to let the website use them, so these are just screenshots from my laptop.

Maybe I'll get out my tripod and flash and try for some better quality tomorrow. Looking again it seems like the purple heads are concentrated on the purple parts of the plant, the green leaves seem to have 'normal' trichs, and I do see some amber even on the purple parts, I'm gonna go back up with the scope.
Checked again, it looks like the tf13 goes clear, cloudy, lavendar-amberish with purple stalks from about midway through flower. The Purple Thai/Duck x TF13 goes clear/cloudy/lavendar/dark purple. I'll update with clearer and closer shots tomorrow.

It's not rocket surgery or a really big deal if I'm a little off, I kinda know when to harvest these strains based on look, but I like to be sure.
