How much longer? First time grower.

I'm trying to plan new clones so I was going to start cloning 10 days before these finish but they're exactly 7 weeks old but don't look near done yet? The trichomes aren't amber I noticed that the hairs haven't started to go back inside the calyx yet? Should I be expecting 3 more weeks?

Beautiful looking buds, nice job, I'd say maybe 2, 3 weeks. what's the strain, how long flowering?

Sounds like you have to keep waiting...

I'm doing 6 different strains (will be doing all one strain in the future). The most developed one is still cloudy/clear and I can't see any amber on the buds but a few amber on the leaves that poke out. I think you're right about 3 weeks... I guess I'll wait a few weeks to make some new clones in order for everything to line up with given the space constraints.

Going by the hairs, and fact you say no amber yet on top of that, I would say your guess is close, 2-3 weeks.
They look great, but if you can wait, they'll get even heavier

Looks delicoussss first off...Second my guess would be similar with so many perky straight white hairs she is still maturing out I would check trichs again in 2 weeks and see where you stand. I personally harvest my heavy indica strains with very little amber just lots of cloudy bc thats is my most enjoyable stone at that point. good luck and be patient even tho its hard lol.

Get a microscope. When most are amber. She is good.

All your hairs are looking white, youve still got a while to go.
Id start checking trichomes when the hairs start turning red. Looks like youre getting some fat ass nugs off that one

I have one of those 60-100x 420 scopes but to be honest they really suck. I've been plucking a tiny leaf off the bud and putting it under a bausch & lomb microscope I use for other stuff and I can see the trichs very clearly and most are cloudy. I can see some trichomes that have yet to stand up on the leaves and are amber but I don't think those count since they haven't "popped up" yet as if the golf ball wasn't on its tee if that makes sense. At one point the hairs should get sucked back in the calyx right? That G13 pineapple express is an amazing strand, I cloned it and there are buds forming at 2 weeks on the new clones which is way ahead of the other clones.

This is a strawberry cough plant that is just over 8 weeks. I got the clones from a friend who said it took him 9 weeks and this doesn't even look close to done. Do you think it's possible for this strain to ripen in a matter of 2-3 weeks or is this going to be a 12+ week flowering period? Is there anything I could have done to cause delayed flowering?

Week 9 and still not ready
