Perhaps, or maybe it's the camera? I do see quite a few calyx starting to swell up and just going over it with the digital microscope, the trichs are about 40% cloudy, 5% amber and 55% clear. That's just a quick estimate based on the 10 different buds I checked over.
Maybe it's something noteable about this strain? Perhaps it's one of those that just burst into life on the last week or so(at least I am hoping so). It's got a short flowering time according to the breeder(Female Seeds) but I do know to that you must take that info with a pinch of salt, add 1-3 weeks onto their stated flowering time from what I've read.

From the looks of the leaves its more sativa so could take upto 15 weeks to finish

I understand that, however, this particular C99 is a fast flowering one, it's been crossed with an auto flowering strain. Many will testify to it's authenticity as a fast flowering Sativa.

I don't mean to sound arrogant when saying this, but I'd rather go with what the official breeder is saying, as well as a respected seedbank, rather than someone on a forum. I'm sure you'd usually be right and it's still possible you might be, but I think in this case you're wrong. As I said, I don't mean to be a dick about it or anything, just don't really know how to word it without making myself look like a dick.

lol don't worry mate its all a learning curve, as you say the pics may not do it justice. But even from the breeders pics I still think you have a little while left

Hsfkush... in my humble opinion that plant has at least 4 more weeks on her. I'd say more like 6 as SV says.
And a tip on not sounding like a dick. Instead of writing that long post about how you disagree, just say "Thanks for the input". You did ask for input after all, i mean why ask if you just want to go with what the breeder says?

Good point. The breeders tend to use the most optimal conditions so you can expect around a week later.

I wasn't arguing with him, besides, if you read my post in full, I said I understand that breeder flowering time is usually different to what it actually is. This is why I was so surprised when he said 6 weeks extra, as it had already been 7 weeks and I was expecting more 2-4 weeks. Just stating why I was questioning the 6 weeks left.
Besides, he may not have been familiar with the strain and not know that it was known to be a fast flowering sativa.
You see I'm not the kind of person who just says "I think you're wrong" I like to at least explain why I think people are wrong, backing it up with as much evidence as I can, then see if they can counter it in the same manner. This is just making sure that I'm not being mugged off by some random spanner who's only just planted his first seed, then claims to be an expert in the field, that is all.
Too many times you see people posting tips and tricks when they've no actual anecdote to go by. That's not to say that either you or Serial are pretenders or just random idiots trying to make themselves look better, I'm sure you genuinely know your stuff and can provide good advice.
Shame I couldn't keep a steady hand ¬_¬

Sometimes they just outright lie,
Tangerine dream by Barneys Farm is a perfect example, it's claimed to be 10 week strain lol
Even the most experienced of gardeners are looking at 12 week minimum, usually more like 15+ though and even then it's not fully ripe.
