Hey Darth, looks good but it can go longer imo, hairs aren't mature, there's frost but not ready to chop. I'd say another couple of weeks if you can keep it going. Try and get some pics in natural light, those LED pics are hard to read the trichs.

Groerr is right, you will see a change in your plant, all those white hairs will recede and turn orange/brown/pink/purple and your buds will grow in size and density by quite a bit. Usually last 2 weeks are the most important for the plant when it comes to density and weight gain. Looks good tho keep up the good work!

The veg room now has one Aurora OG and one Cheesey Smurf. The other Aurora and blue dream were male. The mama in flower is still going great. Thanks for the advice to keep her going until more fresh heads.

Thx yoda and groerr...I'm trying to decide when to flush...Hydroponics is fun for a first grow. Definitely need a RDWC system on the next one. The main problem in my first grow was feeding that beast mama plant a gallon a day of water/nutes. She vegged for 3 months so I think that is why she is taking so long to finish. I also did not PH properly. Used RO water the entire time but exchanging the rez was a challenge. This is also the main reason why I must use recycling deep water culture next time

The LED is actually more light than necessary. Draws 300w but is definitely throwing off great spectrum. I will supplement cfl bulbs next week on the baby mothers. This is fun!!

Most people seem to wait till over 50-60-70% red trichomes (by view, I use a cheap loupe and usually just cut when definitely more are dying than new growing). The upside is that your BD do actually look like they are bulking up so yer, maybe just a slow finish (iv'e not grown blue dream, euro beans for me!) You may even have a few weeks, it tends to take at least a couple from no red to 50% (iv'e found).. and you don't seem to have any red? Well worth holding off as they pump up much of the yeild in the last weeks. Looking good though, at least they are movin along.
