This might be a common asked question but I’m still learning do the buds put on weight in the last couple of weeks or do the hairs just start turning

Oh yeah, they pack density in the last weeks. Some strains you have to be careful you don't let them go too long... or you risk bud rot.

I think this may be the biggest mistake a new grower can make-chopping too early.
I use a loupe to look at the trics on my flowers and I find that it's usually a week or two past when all the trics are milky when the girls are ready.
Those couple of weeks are when my nugs really fatten up.

Totally agree with @GBAUTO
It may take some time and grows to learn when your plants are ripe.
People usually tell new growers "When you think it's time to chop, wait another week." This advice is generally good for new growers.
Your first harvest you may want to stagger so you can compare chop times and bud quality.

I was thinking of doing that’s as I have a few different strains and I’m thinking that they will be ready at different times

Nice one! Patience is difficult when you are waiting for it but you will be rewarded, ime they look something like this when they're ready to chop, these are 87/88 days about 3 weeks overdue lol.
