no that's normal. It's just what pot plants do. first you get an explosion of calyxes and hairs which over the weeks will plump up into sexy little nugglets. Then as the plant begins to approach it's peak maturity the white hairs will begin to change colors. The color depends on the strain, some go to off-white or purple/lavender or pinkish or dark red or orange or tan or brown... As the hairs die and change the resiny goodness begins to peak and her nuggs will really start to frost up a bit (don't touch the nuggs!) harvest can start when 80% of the hairs on your plant have changed-- or you can wait longer if you desire but excessive delay in harvest will only degrade the quality of the trichomes and if you are like me and enjoy smoking what you've grown, then excessive delay of harvest is not likely  because you'll want to be smoking it already.

not if you have some fast flowering plants-- some strains only take 5 weeks to finish in which case week 4 would be gettin up there
