Little help .. see pics

Hey guys, just wondering … I threw a bunch of seeds into a pot a while back, and this is currently where the plant is at.
they are all individual plants in 1 pot, being grown in U.K. sun near London.
question .. how long until chop when lookin at these pics? I have no idea when white hairs started and have no way of checking trichs.
I’m happy with it , just need to know when to chop.
Cheers !

Starting to swell but I'd wait until those fresh white stigma have browned, looped and retracted. I'd say another two to three weeks. I'd give her some feed and keep plugging on.

You'll get a good final swell after the pistils retract.

I can imagine.. im in sub tropical Queensland so we are at a perfect time of year. 12-14c nights and 21-24c days for the next month. Humidity has been really good at 50-65% for the last few weeks.

Those temps lead to a 18c-19c lights out temp and a 25-28c lights on temp range in the tent.. I have it easy.

Any other thoughts?

What is its feed? If you aren't, have you got any bloom bases to feed? Something like a 2:2:4 would be really handy right now to tie you over. It's hungry for sure but isn't showing any glaring deficiencies. It's a healthy, in proportion fade. It would respond well to a light feed with a 2:1:3, 2:2:4 or similar feed once or twice a week. It will plump up very well if you keep it fed.

Your medium must be relatively well rounded if you got this far hungry with no glaring necrosis or deficiencies. Give us a rundown if you don't mind.

Right, so when she started bloom I wojld
Give her biobizz bloom feed (once per week) and a tiny bit of superthrive.
As I thought she was done, I flushed her a few days ago. Given todays comments, I have fed with biobizz bloom once again.
she’s in garden soil lol , nothing special.
I thought she was done and ready to chop!!

it happens to the best of us at first. My first was a GG auto and did the same thing. First round of stigma browned up and retracted around week 8 of flower and I assumed that was it so stopped feeding supplemental and started watering straight tap every third day instead of second. It faded nicely over a week and then all of a sudden it had new stigma all over the tops of every main branch. Didn't realize they usually pop and second round of stigma late on.

The fade looks uniform enough that it is still in a state of uptake. It should resume as normal.

I've switched to yard soil indoors this run as I always had a more even fade strangely when using good, mineralized soil instead of potting mix. With the potting mixes I was using indoors the fade would come on quick, was always followed by necrosis very quickly if not caught fast and the leaves would fall off. When I was using garden soil outside, I'd always get a more uniform fade and a bit more time to catch it. Might be due to the larger pots outside though.

the crazy thing is that the cheap mix (50% yard soil, 30% coco and 20% perlite) is working better than most of the expensive mixes I've tried. I think I've been over-loving for a while. It's all tap water so far as well, ones like 8 weeks old with the other two at 6 weeks flat. They seem to like the mineral content and lower feed in the garden soils over an abundance of salts and a less prominent mineral profile.

Just wanted to go on a tangent.

Don't need to flush feed right up until she is done.

Definitely a month to go

Blimey, a month!! Ok, cheers for that, keep feeding her up then!

I learned the hard way that's its really easy to fuck your crop by chopping it early, and actually quite hard to let a plant so long you diminish it. And don't worry about looking at trichs. Watch your white pistils, wait for them to change color and then curl and recede back toward the plant.
