 How far along, or close to being done is she?

Trying to find out how long she has to go, I know it mostly depends on what color the resin glands are. I'd say maybe another month? Anybodys guess is better then mine. I could only get one pic up for some reason but will try and get a few more up. By the way magash, the crafting did not work. It was worth a shot. I checked on it in the morning and those tips where all shrivled up and dead, so I ended up just snipping the branches off. But it would have worked good if on a larger stalk or branch I think. I think the branches where just too small and young at the time.
I know there is some crispy leaves in there, I had a little accident with a light being too close.

another month is a reasonable guess with that picture
they haven't started filling out really? what kind of light? what nutrients are you feeding them?

At least a month.

I thought so, I have it under 2 300watt equiv. cfls, and two 150w eq. bulbs. I am feeding her fox farm big bloom nutes and molasses water. The nutes every other watering, and the molasses every 4th watering. Well, she has started filling out a bit I've noticed. They branch tops are starting to get thicker, and frost a little. The reason why I'm asking is I have read that the color of the resin glands needs to be opal when harvesting, But the scope I have to check is crap. So I think when the time gets close Ill have to track down a good microscope to tell. But I figure she has not started to put on weight yet, just mostly filling in the gaps on the branches. I had tied her down a few weeks ago, and the way my lights are the left side of the plant got less light. So one side is filling in with nice hairy...preflowers?
And the other side is smaller, but I got more light on it so hopefully that will help. The left side is where the top is tied down, so Im not sure if this effects the growth of the cola? Or if it will do fine. about a week ago I kicked on a 5th light but the way I have the fan set up it just does not pull out enough heat, so one of the branch tops got fried along with a good amount of leaves. So i am debating whether to just snip the top of the branch or not, it still has little preflowers on it but no hairs and barley no leaves. Will that hinder the growth on that one branch?
Thanks for the replies.

I am using cfl's, I have 2 300wats, and two 150wat bulbs. I know there are some crispy leaves in there from issues Ive had with heat in the past. As for the yellow leaves they have just started to turn. I assume this is normal? I've seen allot of grow logs of memebers plants that have leaves gradually turning yellow and dying off twards the middle to end of flowering. This is more of a practive grow for some buds. I've learned allot of what to do and what not to do through trial and error.
The grow space is about, 3-4' tall, about 3' wide and 2ft width wise if that helpfs any.

Distilled water? How does that effect plants?lol. I'm thinking the yellowing might be from the weather getting colder. The leaves are yellowing from the bottom up, and the nights have ben colder. Maybe I need to find a way to heat the area the box is in? I don't think it is a deficiency of any kind. The plant seems to be thriving. But then again I'm not expert.

yellowing from the bottom up on the fan leaves is a N def. if it was just the bottom leaves then id say its due to poor cfl light to the bottom. as for the distilled water i started using it figuring id help my plants and 1 week later the plants fan leaves started to get these spots and wither and die. i flushed with tap water and they were fine. only the leaves affected died off.

Yah, a source of Nitrogen 
Got any gardening supplies like bat guano or worm castings?

Hmm, I've ben searching around and asking people. And from my understanding it is normal for leaves to turn yellow during flowering even without flushing. The nutes That I have ben using are high in bat guano and worm castings. And the plant seems fine also.
I wanted to ask I'm starting to see "clusters" showing up on the plant. They are spots that are growing large amount of hairs in one spot, apposed to just one or two hairs. I will have to get some pics up.I'll get some up tonight or later on. When plants put on weight do they produce these clusters? Ive got some like that, that are on smaller buds on the branches, and then Ive got larger buds that seem to not have them. So I assume eventually all of the buds will "cluster up" like the buds are.
Only pictures can tell I guess. I have got a scope to check the trichromes but it's hard to tell! They are so small I can't tell if they are clear, amber, opal or milky. I'm hoping the trichomes still have a while to grow, if they can grow bigger it will be easier to tell.

Its normal for them to yellow during the end...They shouldn't show deficiencies unless you're not looking to get the best that you can get from your crop.

I'm out of luck then, either it is getting towards the end of flowering or it is a deficiencie. If bat guano and worm castings are good for a nitrogen source then I would lean more towards the end of flowering. I've ben feeding it good with fox farm big bloom, but then again maybe the nutes does not have enough?

Well, you can be giving your plants nutrients, but they may not actually be available to them. When's the last time you did a flush flush to get rid of any built up salt?? What size of pot are you in and how often do you have to water them? Are you making teas with the guano?? What's your pH? Going in and coming out.
They aren't anywhere near being done man. You can tell by a quick glance. You have some sort of issue going on and we need more info to be able to diagnose it.
