Without a trich scope you ( and everybody else) are just guessing at it. From the very little I can see from the pics they look like they arent half way through the flower stage.

^^^ he`s right, they look about half way done so you have anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks left...
without a scope for the trichs its hard to tell but there are clues like the leaves will die off and the hairs will turn red and receed in, the buds will swell as the thc is building...
great work so far they look happy...

and what are you feeding them at the minute?

can you tie them down a little? or tie them off to the side of your room or tent? might help you there, height can catch alot of us out alright, but you`ll get the hang of that after going through the plant life cycle a few times, as for nutes ...well you can still feed them and full strenght at there stage but try reduce the number of feeds until you get the height under control???

I had them tied to the side but then they kept growing upward so now it like a maze in the the room with the branches and the string...lol...I was thinking about cutting the tip, I'll lose a few buds but it might be my only choice, just not sure if that will effect the buds below where it seems to be growing tighter there or will effect the plant if i do that?

yeah i hear you there hahahahaha, i would try other remedys first and snipping the tops as a last resort.. see if you can get some clearer pics it always helps a prognosis..

I can't tell what kind of pots you are in, but if they are plastic, can you drill holes around the top and tie off to there? Either that, or just use weights of some sort to pull them to the side so you don't look like Katherine Zeta Jones training to rob the museum.
As far as your ferts, I don't understand, are you still getting a lot of vertical growth even though you are flowering?

I am using plastic pots I did have them timed down to the side but the would keep growing vertical (so it almost goes straight up the bends to the left then straight up again). I saw an article and he was using the same nutrients as me and his chart at full strength was half of what use and at the same week as my plants he stopped using the grow nutrient. so hopefully that will stop them from grow vertically so quick

Hahaha seriously, all we need to know is how long you've been flowering for. it doesn't look like the buds have expanded since the pistils are still sticking out so far. The lack of brown hairs doesn't really have much to do with anything, some stay completely white on hybrids and sativas. Yeah, they are no where close in my opinion. Just tell us how long you've been flowering for. I'm guessing 8 weeks

So yeah, 7 weeks of flowering is not long at all. Some strains taking up to 15 weeks. The seed guideline as pointed out to me a couple times is the bare minimum, and they do it more to sell seeds I believe. So yeah, you could only be half way though, but it will matter if it's sativa. Sativa will flower longer, while indica shorter.
These look like they have a ways to go until they are mature. I wouldn't be worried if I were you. A good month easy before harvest IMO.
