Yes, more weeks. When almost ALL of the pistils are red, and the buds have swelled, then you can start checking trichomes. You still have weeks to go. I'd guess around 3 but every plant/environment is different.

I can see visible growth in the pictures you posted. Do you have pictures of the other plant? It's probably just different pheno's. Northern Lights tends to take a long time to finish. Either way, the plant doesn't look unhealthy so I'd ride it out and expect that one to be a late finisher.

They posted pics from Sunday in another thread. You flushed very very early if you started two weeks ago. I'd start feeding again and begin flushing when more than half of the white pistils have darkened and retracted. Based on the Sunday pics that's a week or two away still.

My thoughts, and they're just thoughts, as to why it is a non-issue is the timing. The plants growth and flowering stages are largely finished at this point. The buds left on the plant are ripening but not gaining too much size and mass. There isn't much to stunt. You're also taking the flowers...

At this point I'd just let it grow. It will stretch as flowering begins but at only 4" tall the fimming definitely stunted it a bit. Try to keep it healthy through this run and work on the training a little more with the next bunch. I try to have all my training done by day 28 on an auto but if...

I did read it, I just didn't realize you would hang your hat on nitrogen going from ~4.3% to ~4% of total biomass. I don't care if someone flushes or not and I'm not here to settle that debate. I was just genuinely curious what lab test the post I responded to thought unflushed cannabis would fail.

Yes it is time consuming. Any time you breed a photo with an auto you need to backcross the offspring to another auto, then begin stabilizing with the 25% of those offspring that carry the autoflowering trait. Really gives you respect for the auto breeders who produce stable strains.

The autoflowering gene is recessive from my understanding so you will not get any autoflowering plants unless the critical orange had an autoflowering parent as well. The seeds will be all female though.

Care to explain what biological processes are happening inside the plant when you flush?

Try to relax. The anxious and over reacting gardener tends to be their own worst enemy. Your plants look quite healthy and are well into flower. You already did better than most. You certainly didn't do irreversible damage that will prevent you from harvesting some quality bud.

They will be fine. I only selectively defoliate to open up some lower bud sites but those leaves will get replaced pretty quickly that early into flower. Plenty completely strip their plants and have great results, just not my style.

We don't have much to go on but these lab tests would disagree. Even if we concede that the plant is harvested with excess nutrients in its biomass, what test would this cause it to fail? https://www.rxgreentechnologies.com/rxgt_trials/flushing-trial/

Unless you need to have dry ice shipped it is absurdly cheap. Any reasonably populated area will have a local supplier, although they tend to be business to business so advertising and web presence can be lacking.

Agreed. Too early to really guess but check back in 4 weeks.

Looks like a few more weeks to me. I see a lot of clear and barely milky trichomes. I can't tell from the photos but make sure you are taking pictures of the trichomes on the bud itself, not the sugar leaves.

I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was answering where he asked specifically if he should mainline that one. It's already been FIM and IMO it doesn't look like it will be big enough to top before flower begins in a few weeks without ending up with a very small plant It looks healthy. It's a bit...

I do not think mainlining an auto is a good idea. It requires quite a bit of manipulation and you're likely already halfway through veg

I wouldn't do too much more training on an auto. You should be able to get away with some LST as the mains develop but typically you use one HST, if any, then let it grow. They typically start to flower by week 4 and you will want to be mostly done by then.

It's looking good. Doing any training? Afternoons can be slow. You'll likely get more responses in the evening.

Just start feeding it between 5.8-6.2. No need to make quick corrections. Coco coir buffers itself to some degree anyway. No need to measure runoff every feeding either. You'll hurt more making constant adjustments. Oh and nutes every single watering in coco. Full stop
