Why are my buds not covered in frosty trichromes?

Why are my buds not covered in frosty trichromes? I have about 3 weeks of flowering left and it is making me kinda nervous. The plant is under white LED, so the color you see is the color of the plant.

White hairs are the initial kind of, when budding is just starting, they need to get brown/black or entirely dissapear in some strains, the buds fatten up, trichomes fatten up and cover everything in sugar, and then depending on the strain maybe have some white hairs at the end before chopping time (like exploding from full calixes). Probably 3-4 weeks more is a good estimation, and it's sure to get more trichomes, not less, so I would just keep on the same track, have some patience, and the result will be magnificent. Good smokes!

Genetics play a big role, but besides all the info others already gave you, if you want frost go and buy a UV-B light (Not UV, not UV-A, get a UV-B light) that will trigger the trichome production as a defense against the uv-b.

it's too early, plus not all cannabis flowers are covered in frosty trichomes, depends on genetics, environment etc wait for another 1.5-2 weeks
