no big deal.
is it too hot? too dry? If you keep the climate decent, that's all you can do. Don't rub or constantly touch it etc... The rest is genetics.
You won't know the true outcome until it's dried and cured. Maybe, somethings correlate, but weak smell while growing does not eliminate possibility of tasty, stinky buds.
trichomes mature throughout the entire grow cycle. Look at them for fun, now, but you only assess their coloration after the buds have fully plumped.
heck, if you scope the preflowrs, you'll find amber very early. Trichomes on leavs amber up early too, but these are to be ignored. "Gold" is probably more an effect of the triches being translucent -- just seeing the yellowish color of its sorroundings.
your plants look healthy and node spacing is proper... you are fine.
