Need harvest time help

Hello, I have a variety of plants in my indoor grow room. I am using a 600watt HPS light. I am a fairly new grower.
I have blueberry and a white widow- northern lights cross and some kush.
I know that sativas and indicas mature at different rates. All of my plants have been on a 12 12 bloom cycle for 9 weeks now. The are in ocean forest soil and have had regular fertilizer with pure blend pro bloom. They look great but the blue berry still has tons of white hairs and the tricoms are still half clear and half cloudy. It seems like they should be more mature at 9 weeks. Should I just keep waiting?? I would like a nice balance of amber and cloudy tricomes but how long should i wait? Do they mature slower indoors? any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

depending on the strains is when its gonna be done. almost all strains weather its blueberry or white widow or whatever. they are all hybrids. indica/sativa mix and that gives you different days to harvest. the best thing to do is watch each individual plant and harvest when you get your amber/milky ratio that you like shoot for 50/50. each plant you have will have a different time to be done. but in general they can take 8 to 12 weeks 8 weeks for more indica dominant and up to 12 weeks for more sativa dominate. get a microscope from radio shack and harvest each plant when they are ready good luck

whats up lady luck? It's generally ruled out that you want to harvest your plants when the white hairs have turned more than 75% orange or redish. If your at 9 weeks already and theirs a lot of white hairs depending on the strain and growing conditions you shouldn't have much longer to go,never pull your buds early it deminishes quality masively. Just be patient and when they look ready wait another few days. When the hairs are all turned you'll have those milky white,amberish colored crystals as well. Keep up the good work,smoke joints.

Thanks. Yes I do have a microscope. I will keep checking them since I am still in the 8-12 week window. Thanks.

Blueberry usually seems to take longer inside or out
Blueberry and all other marijuana plants take longer outside because it takes a month for the light cycle to go from 11-13 to 12-12 and your plants start budding at 11-13 light hours.
