seeing all this color change is exciting yet a little confusing, you get to the point where your like trying to guess at how much is brown/reddish. having a magnifying glass would easy the problem. shes been turing color for almost 2 weeks, has about to my guess 70% haircolor change. so give her a couple days?

The only reason I said they don't look ready is because they just don't look dense enough and the hairs are still sorta "loose". I dunno man just doesn't look ready to me yet. It still looks like theres many areas that can be filled in with buds. I'm also curious to how long you've been flowering..

the buds really arent as dense as they should be or like the others(neighbors). but some are some are denser then the pics . the pic was taken of a side bud not nearest the light. How long do the pistals ussually color for, or have for you.

Well if you have some one else with "better" results at the same stage as you then maybe your lights need to be a bit closer? What is the wattage of your light? And yeah, you should give them atleast 3 more weeks. You'll be glad you did :D.

Also about your post above you shouldn't try to judge by hairs. It's not the hairs that you really would want to keep up on, you want to keep up on the health of the trichomes. Even though the hair colors do play a part of telling how old the plant is, I think you have enough weeks to wait to judge by the trichomes when you get your microscope.

400wtt hps, i stopped nutes but am adding them back in day by day, sitting at 800ppm right now, its worth it to wait obviously get more dense nuggets, i got the 30x mag in the mail should come early next week, ill wait till then take a peak if i see amber tricomes im cutting her down cause i dont want to over shoot my harvest period. lol its a 4 plant operation, this is the only one looking a bit "air..e" the others are dense and heavy. same start time on all. and none have a better or greater andvantage over the others. there all different strains which is the problem.

No definatly not, give it a week or two. Wait till the hairs are brownish and then cut her,
