It's hard to say from such small pics but the second pic, at least, looks to be Phosphorus deficient. Here's a pic of P def during flowering:

You need to look at the Trichomes under a 30x+ microscope to determine ripeness. You can get one at Radio Shack for about $17.00 if you are in the US. They have 3 stages. They start out clear, then become milky and then amber. Most people go for a combination of milky and amber.

cheers for that tommy there is a few amber ones on the buds its 5 weeks into flowering im hoping its done for xmas what do you think

I am not talking about the hairs. Do a search for trichomes and you will see what I mean.

Tommy's correct. Checking the "crystals" with a magnifying glass is the best way to determine ripeness.

The pics are indeed too small to tell but that last pic looks like it may be 2/3 through flowering or so? Just a wild guess.

You can get a nice little 1 lens 40x magnifier for <$5 on EBay.

Most strains require 8 + weeks to finish.
