Alot of leaves dying, falling off. No new growth, even lower buds have red hairs

Are white hairs always a good indication that it needs more time?

Yea it usually is but it's usually a combination of things,white hairs should turn and recede into the bud as it swells up and if u have a microscope check out the trichomes see if they clouded up. It's kinda hard to tell with those pics tho

Here's my best tip.

I've got one grow under my belt. I harvested 3 out of 4 plants when I thought they were done. Then, I decided to let the other one keep going. THEN, I ended up having to go out of town and there was an extra 3-4 days or so added on to the week extra I already decided.

There was a NOTICEABLE difference in bud swell, the hairs had receded nearly ALL THE WAY back into the bud, and it was just plain different to the naked eye.

I harvested, dried, and cured that bud.

First 3 out of 4 were 5-6 out of 10 in terms of high.

The plant that I let go...8-9.

YOU WILL KNOW.

GL!

edit: And also, Pic 1, I don't see a single amber. I know people say "amber is degraded THC, you don't want that."

True. BUT, it is also an excellent indicator. I see zero amber there. IMHO, 10-20% amber is desirable to get the max effect out of the other 80-90%.
