Trics wont brown?

Hi Guys,

Believe it or not I'm on day 86 (week 13) of flowering with a couple of Great white Sharks and I'm waiting for the trics to brown but they seemed to have stopped or slowed done considerably. Should I harvest now with most of the trics cloudy or give it a bit longer. The plants are dying off with most of the leaves turning yellow, which I know is normal for this period. I think I messed up somewhere along the line with my Ph and didn't get it sorted until quite late in the grow, I was wondering if this has caused some kind of problem in later life? I don't seem to have a lot of trics like some picture I've seen where they are really frosting looking. I understand about the different "highs" associated with the tric colours so I was looking for suggestions on "give up now or wait".
Anyway, any advice would be appreciate.

Make sure you are not checking the trichomes under a HPS light. You won't be able to see the amber trichs as easily.
Always use fluoro's or MH to check trichs.

Otherwise, just be patient. They WILL eventually change.

That's too long for that strain. You've got a problem.
-Have you checked for light leaks?
-What is your day/night temp?
-How much nitrogen is in your fert?
-Have you used superthrive in the past 2 months?

RIGHT! Because after that, there is a high risk of your plants growing male parts and pollinating themselves!

I'm using a tent to grow in so there shouldn't be problem, I hope.

Temps, now theres a bit of a problem. During light is about 27oc and dark about 17/18.

I stopped using ferts about 4 weeks ago (week 8 flower) when I did the final flush, thats according to the breeders recommendations.

Superthrive, never heard of it.

Oh well, second grow, second fuc* up. I think I'll harvest this weekend, if not before, and then try again when I consumed this little lot. I'll let you know how its smokes.
