New grower, new to forum, not sure what is causing this

Week 7 Day 7, tomorrow is week 8 day 1, for these White Widows there are extra pictures attached they are other Plants that have much further to go along the bud shots are from these two white widow plants. I am curious about whether or not I should cut soon or wait another week. The camera doesnt show it but there are actually very few white pistils left almost all of them have turned brown but when using the Loupe I can not find even the first amber trichome, the buds are pretty and I want them when I can get a serious high but no couch lock, so I know I gotta cut them a little early, just dont want to do it too early.

 

[Emilya Green]

Not quite ripe yet... but very close. Most of those brown pistils will pull down around the bud at the end... it is a very beautiful flower when it is done. 2% amber is the magic spot...

 

[Ima Paradox]

So basically as soon as I see any amber at all, I can assume I am near 2%.

Week 8 Day 4, Plants growing nicely, it appears the flood actually did solve the issues, I watered the plants today, the leaves have reamined exactly as I left them the day after the flood, everywhere I cut the dead portions off the leaves still are quite green, I did notice what appears to be just a hint of a Magnesium deficiency in the lowest remaining fan leaves, decided to go ahead and resume the mege crop applications with each watering, that should maintain the plant the rest of the way to harvest.

Which should be near

Re calculated the amount of time between switching and now, for the day count, today is Actually Week 9 Day 6 and I am still in flower, no amber tricombs on any bud and only a possible amber one or two on any of the sugar leaves. I am noticing extra bud growth out of the sides of each major bud, kinda like a little nipple here or there sometimes on the side of the flower other times near the top, but no particular place over another one. I am concerned if this might be foxtailing or if it could actually be the BUD Swell you guys talk about so much. I am hoping that it is normal, will have pictures in a couple hours after my camera batteries recharge.

White Widow #1

 

[Pennywise]

Good looking buds!

 

[Ima Paradox]

This is White Widow #2

 

[Ima Paradox]

OK those are the same two plants we flushed two weeks back!

 

[Pennywise]

Nice WW, who’s it from?

HA HA
to all the people who helped me figure it out so far!

I think I am in a bud swell mode, I am almost at the end of the 9th week since switching the clock to 12-12 and I think I have about a week to go, I am not sure if i should go much further than 10 full weeks but I am willing to try if the tricoms are still clody and not amber. I still cant find an amber ticomb on any BUD at this time. A little help would be nice from those who know about this particular strain.

 

[Pennywise]

Sounds like you still have time left before they mature.

I am pretty sure that I do, but the write up from the seed bank and judging from what most people seem to be doing with this Strain is to harvest between 8 and 9 weeks, Have not found anyone who has gone 10 weeks or longer, so I am worried a little bit.

 

[Pennywise]

The plants gonna do what it does, just keep an eye on the trichomes.

 

[BigD13]

Yeah, the trichomes are what gets ya high. If you harvest too early when the trichomes are clear, no high. You spent all this time and effort to get this far, ya just have to be a patient a little while longer. It'll be worth the wait.

 

[Pennywise]

Good things come to those that wait.

 

[BigD13]

Yeah, I think someone posted something like; you have to be as patient as the plant.

 

[Pennywise]

You can’t force a plant mature in any real sense.
