I've notice people getting this confused.
The pistils(hairs) turning color and shriviling is a sign of maturaty.
However, the clear, milky, amber applies to the trichs not the pistils.
Look at the thrics under your microscope. Try 30-60x.
When the majority of them are milky white, that is peak potency. If they are clear, the are still developing. And if they are amber they are "ripe". Depending on when you harvest the effect will be slightly different.

I'd say take it to two weeks more (9 weeks/63 days). I'm sure the plant will put on quite a bit more weight in those two weeks!
I'm growing Northern Lights myself and I it's a very good plant!!

Yeah forget about whatever someone told you about any breed being ready at a certain week. It depends on your setup, and a plant is ready when it's ready. Also, the notion that it HAS to be harvested at 80% this-or-that is to be dismissed: ideally, all pistils should've turned red, since if you have white ones, then it hasn't finished flowering.
