Flowing just continues because of stressors / help with flush

Hello all, so I lost track of what week of flower I’m in and just looking for some advice on what week I’m in or how much time is left. I have had a lot of issues getting the nutrients right as well as the light and there have been a lot of “pauses” during flowering and I have no clue now what week imI have been checking the Trichomes to see if there is any amber (none yet) and once I do seee some I plan to start to flush. I am growing in two hydroponic buckets and my thought is once I see 25% amber I’ll start flushing with ph’d water (2-3 days) Is that going to Work?

Also is the side growth on the top in some of the pictures below from light stress? It looks like it’s growing “new tops” or is that just the bud bulking up. I feel like the plant just keeps producing more white hairs.

any advice would help!

Looks like it will be decent smoke regardless, prob few weeks away at least. Not sure what you are feeding but I would reduce feed, there won’t really be a need to flush, just cut back now. Looks heavy N going to hold you up.

It’s fox tailing just a touch. It’s fine. Looks very good, honestly.

If your goal is 25% amber, you’ve got a few weeks. That is pretty far along.

Looks heavy n? You mean heavy nutrients I’m assuming

Have you ever grown these strains before or seen how they grow? That growth is called foxtailling if I’m not mistaken due from heat or light stress. What are you feeding them?
I just finished the final weed of the following per gal of water. They way i have been doing it is every friday i swap out the 5 gal buckets with 3 gals of nutrients and then add just ph'd water through the week.
Week - Ripen
FloraMicro - 5 ml/Gal
FloraBloom - 15ml/gal
Floralicous plus 1ml/gal
Calmagic - 5ml/gal
Koolbloom 5ml/gal..

Today im going to just use distilled water for 5 days untill the leafs yellow and then ill cut em down.

Thoughts on that? Do you think i have another week or so of ripening

I would say couple weeks still and revisit, I would reduce feed still, would not flush. Bit of burn, this is when they can go crispy on you. Too much white on those, they still have time to pack and swell up. You will be disappointed if you cut too early, you will never cut too late though.

Here is plant 1 the bigger one that i feel like is a week ahead because of some mistakes that stressed the plant out. Ive made a lot of mistakes, this is going on the 6 month of this project. Plant 2 pics to follow
