plants look done, but no amber trichomes

no, they aren't done, and, likely there are problems.

let me venture here.

Are you using Miracle Grow Soil? Is there any PERLITE in it? If so, what percentage? What types of lights are you using? What type of Nutes are you using? WHat is the NPK ratio???

Are you aware of what MICRO-NUTRIENTS are? If you don't have a fully balanced nutrient mix, this is what your buds will do.

I would guess you are using CFL's (no orange light in pics)

bottom line, i got some at ~4weeks and they are EASILY twice to three times the size (bud wise)

Conclusion: You did something wrong, at 7 weeks, they aren't going to "fatten up" from where they are now. Not trying to be mean, but helpful.

Next time. Use HPS light. Use a soil that is FULL of perlite, and then ADD more. Use a FULL nutrient line. AND finally, get better genetics from seeds. Those look like some bagseed.

I love when people knock the cfl's....

I agree.

when I first started growing years ago.. I couldn't afford a nice HPS/MH setup so I used CFL lights.. and I had some FAT fucking harvests from only using CFL bulbs.. so I agree.. people that talk shit about CFL growers don't know what they're talking about.. period. No ifs or buts about it... plain and simple.

However, these days.. I have upgraded to two 150's (HPS) and I also have two HPS conversion bulbs.. which are just MH bulbs that are able to be ran with my HPS ballast. I have those two 150's.. plus I got about 300watts worth of (High Output CFL bulbs) for my side lighting.. and they do the job just fine.

So yeah, again.. I agree with you on that. They should do some research before trying to act like they know it all. Ya dig?

peace..

if you want some good advice??

I would just let them do whatever they want to do. Don't harvest them.. leave them be.

Some strains can take up to 14 (some even 16 weeks, yes, 16!) weeks before they are ready to harvest.

But, again, its on you as what you do.. your responsible for your own actions. But, if I were you? I would just leave them be.. and be patient.

Patience is sooo important when it comes to growing.

But, its up to you.

Good luck with it.

peace.

I know this is an old post before the trolls jump in but it may help somebody someday. This is nitrogen toxicity which can also look like an early harvest due to using veg nutrients during flower. The multi purpose nutes have too much nitrogen for flower, use bloom nutes for flower and veg nutes for veg. The leaves are dark green and claw then fold or just get rust spots yellow and start to die. Using nutes in soil are not always necessary my best grows were no nutes at all. But he should have made it to harvest with less yields.

Those are seeds, that doesnt mean its ready.

Original poster, how did they get pollinated? did you have a hermie or did you remove a male too late? How bad are they? I would start next grow asap if you havent done so yet. let these ones finish still but i wouldnt bother focusing much more time or energy into them. The potency and yield is greatly diminished if a plant gets pollinated since it puts nearly all of its energy into making seeds.

My guess would be light leaks
