I would agree to trust the trichomes, as they are your number 1 identifying source of maturity. Once they start turning amber on the bud, not the leaf, it’s pretty much done. Some variety’s like to foxtail or send out a second burst of growth just trying to get themselves pollinated before dying. It’s something most growers don’t like. Some do. I’d look closely at the trichomes in the bud area, you’re not going to smoke the leaf. And see what it looks like.
