hey chester. dunno about those yellow specks, i aint had that one before - check under the leaves too for signs of insects. regarding flower times you should expect to go at least 2-4 weeks longer (yeah shocking). give it two weeks longer just to get ripe (i.e. mostly cloudy) - then add a couple more weeks depending on how much amber you want - always watch the trichs though more amber - more couchlock. I aim for 40%-50% amber but its a personal preference thing.
