Not getting amber trichomes

Third grow, Day 64 of 12/12 for DP's Feminized Original Blueberry, hydro, 400w HPS + 400w mH. RO water, seven plants.

Wanted to harvest at 30-40% amber trichomes but still not seeing any at 50x. Most are opaque, but I also think I'm seeing some that are still clear!

About 5 days ago noticed rusty spots on fan leaves near buds, which I thought was a nutrient deficiency. Thinking that high Calcium levels locked out Mg & Phos, I flushed for 2 days with FloraKleen, and spritzed leaves with 2% Epsom salt solution.

Should I hit them again with nutrients to try to get the trichomes to further ripen, just be patient and let them proceed flushed for a few more days (DP says 8-10 week bloom), or something else?

They look and smell awesome, but I don't want to chop too early.

Thoughts out there? Appreciate any guidance.

How many parts of the plant are you looking at?

Ive looked at buds with no amber trics and on the same plant another bud will have many amber trichomes.

It's all about the genetics. there are plants that never get amber trichomes.

Maybe you don't really have the plant you think if your plant is supposed to be turning amber already

Blue berry should be done in 65 -70 days or faster, it all depends on the stone you want man, if you want to be glued to the couch pick it in a week, if you want to be able to function a little better, pick it now, its all up to your tastes, you shouldnt see much of a difference in terms of yield if that's a concern of yours.
