First time flowering...Help??

Hey this is my first time flowering females (my last grow turned out to be male) and I'm just wondering if some people can give me advice on how I'm doing. I have 4 plants (3 different strains of bagseed) and I'm growing under a 100W MH and a 15W fluorescent specifically for growing plants (the pink colored kind).
Anyway, some of the leaves are drooping and turning light green/yellow and some of the top most leaves on one of the plants are burning at the tips. I know yellowing of the leaves is eventually normal during flowering, just wondering if it's time yet. And I think the burning tips might be from heat stress cus I forgot to raise the light and these things have been growing like crazy (the MH was about 6 inches from the top of some of the plants). I've been flowering for 36 days. How much longer you guys think?? I know, I have to buy a magnifying glass to check the trichomes... where's a good place to get one? Thanks!!

The first 2 pics are a female that's looking healthy, the next 3 are a female that's yellowing and drooping a bit, the next 2 are a hermie (he matured while I was on vacation so I kept him and have just been pinching off the pollen sacs cus he was the only "female" of that strain) and the last 3 are a female that is burning at the tips on the top leaves.

Hope that's enough info, lol, thanks again.

lots of seeds in pic 5. Be very careful your hermies dont pollinate the whole grow. Otherwise looks very good!

Radio Shack 60X-100X mini-microscope . . . I paid $12.09 a month ago.
EASIEST to use if you clip a tiny piece of what you wanna see, put that on something like a white saucer, then place the lens guide over the piece of pot and have a glance.
I adjust mine to 100X and just move the focus dial while I'm looking. Mine eats batteries, so you might wanna pick up an extra set?

Thanks fishy, that sounds sweet.

And woomeister, when those seed sacs get swollen like that it means that there's a seed inside of them?? That sucks, I was hopin they were just full of resin lol. O well, don't have too many of those...

Ok so i bought a mini microscope and took some pics of the trichs, which sucked ass trying to do. It seems like most of them are still clear to me, maybe like 1 out of all of them are amber, but that could just be the lighting. Also, what are ur guys suggestions for adding neem oil? cus i got some fungus gnats that aren't going away with just fly paper.
