So I'm almost at harvest time but not quite. The hairs have pretty much all changed color, but there's not very many trichs that look amber, some even still look kinda clear. I flushed almost a week ago to get ready for harvest, when I did the flush I used tap water but did adjust the ph. I wasn't too worried about it when I saw the fan leaves turning purple but it's spreading to the buds! Temps have held steady mid to high 70's, and it's a Sour Cream so I don't get why this is happening and if I should harvest early or not?

here are a couple pics

Gonna have the take a wild guess here and say you reside in a cold environment ;-D
You are fine. Just discoloration from the cold temperature. The cold makes a certain chemical (forgot the exact name) in the plant more dormant which make the discoloration appear.

yea it'll be 8 weeks into flower next week, I'm just concern because the trichomes dont look ready at all...well by that I mean that I'm guess 15% are amber, 15% clear and 70% cloudy. I understand that ideally you would wait for roughly a 50/50 mix of cloudy and amber. Am I wrong?

The trichomes can change color pretty quickly. From cloudy to amber in about a week even.
