Euroaznscotty I looked up your Canuk seeds and sho nuff they are described as Sativa. The one Sativa I grew had pistils that never changed color, so I did what you did, looking at trichomes all the time. That was my third grow--an 18 week flower Sativa. Insane.
You could try interior defoliation sometime if you felt comfortable with it, which will allow for much greater light penetration. On this grow, I very carefully defoliated according to Nebula's directions, removing fan leaves blocking bud sites. When the plants went into flower, lots of strong-growing side branches shot up from the main colas, with nice buds at the top, and they made it into the light: colas are like survival of the fittest!!! I realize now that I defoliated in such a way to really allow a lot more light penetration.
Here's the thing: my plants were quite vigorous in growth all the way through: we have gotten along very well. I've had no kind of problem whatsoever. So I'd defoliate, and tons of leaves would grow back; they were growing vigorously--not half assed.
My buds aren't huge or nothin, but they are stunning, and each day I can see how they have increased, thrown out new calyxes that in turn throw out new pistils--but that's almost over, I believe, and pistils are shriveling, twisting and turning colors. I love to sit with them every day and look at the pistils and the triches, and just smell their perfume.
