Help, I have no trichomes on my leaves.

I have no trichomes on my leaves. I can feel, see, and smell it on the inside of the bud but nothing on the small outer leaves. I'm 9 weeks into flowering. Almost all of my fan leaves have fallen off and some of the smaller leaves are drying up. About half of my pistils are turning tan. PH is fine, water is fine, lighting is the same as it's been, Any ideas. Thanks for any help, Jude
These are the best I can do on pics 1.jpg3.jpg2.jpg4.jpg

Nutes? Strain? Lights? Do you count flowering from the day you switched your lights or the first day you saw bud sites? Check for light leaks.

The hairs are all still white from what I can see. Usually they turn 75% brown by the end of flowering. They look like they're only in week 6 or 7 pf true flowering. Are you using a red or blue spectrum CFL? It looks blue. Maybe switch to red for the last couple weeks (it mimics a red sunset which triggers more flower growth). The strain may also have a naturally low THC content which doesn't mean it won't smoke well. Again, check for any light leaks, even the smallest light, like that of a humidifier of power strip can delay flowering and even force re-veging if it's bright enough. When the lights turn off stay in there for a couple of minuits and wait for your eyes to adjust.

Good luck man, I'll pray for the dankness.

Trichromes are a natural defensive response by the plant to protect the leaves (among other reasons). I see that you are using a cfl for light, which isnt enough light for most plants to flower (properly).
 
This is the same set up I used for my first grow and you could see frosty white leaves all over the plant. This is at least 8 weeks into flowering. I saw a few leaves at the main cola that had a few tri. on them but they are gone now. I know the hairs look mostly white in the pics but believe me they are mostly tan. Some of the tiny leaves coming from the bud are drying up. Almost all of the fan leaves are gone. I've removed most of the popcorn nugs as they were drying up. 1.jpg 2.jpg
