You could go by the pistils (hairs)

But the better way would be to get a microscope and look at the trichomes (crystals).
When they start turning amber, you're probably good to go.

thanks for getting back to me theres still quite a few yellow hairs showing the top bud of the biggest plant doesn't seem as developed as the buds lower down is that where its to close to the light? some of the hairs have started turning brownie/orange'ish i'm worring because when i changed to the bulb and nutrients i didnt realise i had to change the lighting times to 12/12 till about a week later and thats whats making me think i've fucked it up they smell lovely and it looks white when the light catch's it so its producing thc and theres loads of what look like buds but it seems to good to be true i done it once before but cant remember any of the process all i remember is it turned out as good as what you'd get in a cafe in holland and i didnt even think it would work let alone come out as good as it did and i hardly spent any money this time i've spent a small fortune i've bought booster and bloomer nutrients cannazyme,rhizotonic cos i'd rather quality than quantity are thc and trichomes the same thing? and do the hairs swell up or turn into the tiny little buds that make up the whole thing (if you can understand all that lol)

ak48 flowers pretty quick usually. grew it alongside a few other strains and it was steaming ahead usually
