Agreed w/ Faldikar. Hairs can change color due to genetics/phenotype, age, burn, stress, disease..etc. Trichomes are the main determinate. Also look out for the death pull. The plant will begin to suck the green away from its bud leaves inward towards the bud. This is a last ditch effort to increase THC production before its fully matured. If you don't see the pull yet, then I'd definitely wait another 2 weeks... and get a jewelers loupe.

You got atleas 1 and a half to 2 weeks left. Get a jewelers loop they are only 10-15 dollars and you will know for sure when they are done

Can't tell by your pics.

When your buds look like this...you're very close.

And, what everybody else said.
 
Thanks so much for everyone's help. I'll get the Jewelers scope.
What exactly will I be looking for?
And can somebody explain a little better what the death pull looks like, and should I add clearing solution after I see it. And when should I start flushing?
Thanjs again.

Death pull- the green color in the leaves connected to bud starts to turn yellow and go from yellow-> green as you get closer to the bud. Flush depending on your medium. 1-2 weeks is good, longer should give smoother taste. Also depends on inorganic vs organics. Inorganic flush-> longer than organic flush IMO. Clearing solution not needed if you flush long enough.
 
So if we figure I have 2 weeks left, I should start flushing now.
Im using DNF bloom and DNF bud fortifier in a dwc with ro water

Yes flush then. Throw in a bit of calimag or something like it to the last bit of water you put through each of them. It'll keep the micronutes in balance and will allow for more THC production post-chop.
 
So, just so I'm sure on this. Your saying I should empty my water with nutriants in it and fill the reservoir with clean ro water with a bit of Calmag, and I will still see bud growth?
And I should be trimming in 2 weeks or so, depending what the magnifier says.
