my plants have been in 12/12 since 1/4/10 and as of now they have 50/50 hairs turned maybe even more on some spots, and its only a month in flower. there is no heat stress or nutrient deficiency to my knowledge. they should take longer, from everything i have read, than 30 days of flower. I don't have a microscope so i cant tell you what the trics are like they look clear to me but my eyes are not as good as they used to be but they definitely aren't amber yet. the strain is Blueberry X Northern lights # 5. Anyone have some feedback it would help alot...... I really just need to know if i should leave them in for 3 more weeks or not and take them. they are in a top feed drip system under 400w hps.

pictures would help a lot....are the buds pretty fat? Is it possible you got pollenated? If yor growing hydroponically they might mature faster.

Yo will most likely be okay. if yo started on 1/4 technically your about 34 days or so and maybe you will be harvesting at 7 weeks or something I would get ready to flush soon. When the trichs start to change you will see it because it sparkles like a diamond.

They're not done yet after only a month or so in flower. The color of the hairs has nothing really to do with it being done. The color change happens as that particular "flower" ages, and new ones emerge white. They age and in turn also change. The maturity of the plant, and the trichomes are your only true guide to ripeness. You'll know when it's done just by the look and feel of the buds. My guess, depending on strain, is that you've got a minimum of 30-45 days till they are really ready. Like I said, you'll just know.
