Yeah normal dude, you got around 9-10 weeks should be done IMO. Wait till they all turn amber but you need a microscope to check the trichomes.

it happens throughout flowering, old pistils die and are are replaced. hair color is not what you should look at when deciding on when to harvest. you need to look at the bud swelling and the trichomes.

this is from fdd's harvest tutorial and the growfaq, hope it helps-
we will start with ripeness. most people say to check your trichromes with 30X magnification. i have other ways. when buds are done they look "done". the appearance of the bud changes. the leaves start to hook upwards and become hard and crispy. the calyxes will swell and the hairs will turn brown. you can see a golden tinge to the bud leaves. this is the amber crystals. they start to turn amber on the leaves first.
not ready..........
ready.......
notice the difference? it's pretty easy to see once it occurs.

sounds fine, the pistils do tend to start getting darker from around week 5.
