You cannot judge maturity (peak harvesting period) by the pistils (what you call hairs).
Giving large doses of _any_ nutrient solution / part will not speed up anything. It'll bring you nutrient solution in imbalance and that'll harm your plants.

You want to check the trichomes, get as close to 100% milky trichomes as possible, for peak THC realization.
You should also check for receding pistils and swollen calyxes.

You're gonna want some clear when you're harvesting, "cloudy" trics have a habit of turning amber after you harvest cos they continue developing. Just cos you chop it down doesn't mean its dead.

A lil confused cause the old red pistils have receded but of course not the new white ones. Yeah i also know i need a scope but the holidays got me strapped up ....but calyxes are swollen.....i think, they look like there about to push out seeds, which has a bit paraniod chcking for any signs of herming.

A scope is the only way to be sure... Otherwise it is a crapshoot

Giving bloom nutes does not make it "finish faster". You need to check the trics amongst other things to know it is "ready"

Wouldn't say crapshoot. You might be a +/- week off, at the most, without using a microscope. Of course it's better to use one, but isn't really essential.

Someone who knows what they are doing might be a week off, the op is a newb and had some red hairs receding and lots of new white pistols... For him it would be a crapshoot. After a couple of grows maybe not.
