13 weeks into flower and no amber trichomes!

I have been stressing about my crop for a few weeks because I thought they should have been done a long time ago. It was suggested to me that I harvest them, regardless. So, two weeks ago, I harvested and dried two of my eight plants. I had 3 ATFs and 5 White Widows. I harvested 2 white widows because they were a little less stativa. It smokes good. No problem. However, we all want that kick ass pot so I was hoping for better. Yesterday I came home a little later than I used to and I noticed that one of my lamps was on. It came on at 4:30 am instead of 5:30 am. That means that my light cycle was 13 and 11. I don't know when or how that happened but I am assuming that that has had something to do with what is happening. My intent was to harvest another 3 plants tomorrow and leave the last three go for another week or so. Any suggestions? Thanks for you help.

an hour is a man made figment of our imagination the plant knows no such thing as time there will be no loss... some sativa's just refuse to amber up like the indica "body buzz" so many of us functionalist seek... may just be strain related bro, I wouldn't sweat if the hairs recede into the bud and you had a good flush I would chop!
 
Thank you for your reply. There are still alot of light green hairs. I would say that at least 50% of them are green. Should that make a difference?

Look for cloudy trichs and hairs changing..too much amber means strength is going wrong way- starting to degrade ( oxidize)
