So I think what your seeing here is the beginning of the last 2 weeks. Most plants will stop any new growth and the pistils receed. Then they spend the final 2ish weeks swelling up the calyxs. I've watched my plants get heavier over the course of a few days and the branches start to bend. Letting it go another 7-14 days will help ensure you get your max yield and potancy. Have you checked the trichomes for maturity at all? Since its your first grow its hard to know exactly what to look for, but its a good indicator as well.

harvest times are almost never 100% spot on.. saying that, most strains out there have more than one pheno type, some may lean more towards one parent or the other, more indica dom or more sativa dom, and one or more may finish sooner or later than what a breeder may say.. so yes, strains can finish sooner or later than what a breeder may say..
