When Do Trichomes Begin To Appear?

I am growing what I thought was NYCSD. I however, have reason to believe that may not be what it is. Whatever I have though is a really, really sativa heavy breed. They are also taking a long time to flower. So I don't know how long the flowering time will ultimately be. Right now though, I am assuming around twelve weeks.

So I am trying to time my grow so that I can give my plants a good week to a week and a half of flush time. So now to the point: how many weeks before harvest time do trichomes start to appear. I am nine weeks into flowering to the day right now.

Here are some pics: Thanks for any input.

Sativas take longer. There's no way to time it, it is where it is. If there are no trichs yet you are at least a month away, probably more.

Well, I hope I get a good yield out of this. I hear the wait will be well worth it....but it sure does take a long time.

Jeez, that is great! Four weeks eh? I just like that sativa high a lot more. So waiting will be worth it. I am trying a couple of different strains next however, that are sativa dominant, but have flowering times of about ten weeks.

At this point, my plants are nine weeks into flowering, and I am looking at at least four more weeks from the sound of it. I have been reading of sativas that take as long as seventeen weeks to flower. I hope mine ain't that long. I was poking around on my plants earlier today, and I found one budded area that is starting to show trichomes. I can find nothing anywhere else though.

Ok, trichomes have started to appear on my plants. I am unsure when I should begin flushing my plants of nutes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It looks like maybe lightburn? I am not a very experienced grower but the very bleached pistils and that white center spot. I dunno.
