Some don't amber no matter what you do, buds look ready too me but another 2 days won't hurt.

I will leave her for another week and then i will start flushing..what do guys think??
I say flip the script - flush now and cut in a couple days. Most autos stay under 90 days.
Super Auto strains can push longer but REMEMBER Auto strains carry the ruderalis strain which keeps its life short.

Simple alternative : No Flush / cut down BEFORE light on.

Looks like some real nice buds. I never flush anymore just add plain water the last week or 2 of harvest. Some nutrient companies even recommend adding sugars up until the end for the microbes and flavor. I would probably have cut it down already so i could start the next grow. Sometimes the crystals don't get amber like we want them to at a fast enough rate. Let your plants go too long and they will start to lose potency. IMO 88 days is way too long to wait. I have a greenhouse seeds non auto SLH pheno that will finish from clones much faster than that. I cut them only 6 weeks in flower if I need the room for other plants. I've never done auto slh but the feminized seeds I have never been disappointed except slh seems to be a bit more prone to PM compared to others. It's a legendary strain and has some of the best flavor. Either way whatever you decide to do your stuff looks great. Nice job!

Hey thought I'd chime in :D I'm growin a non auto SLH myself actually tomorrow is the end of wk8 I was considering cutting just at 9wk but I'm forced to wait till 9wk 4days (work an all) probably better off though as for yours I and correct me if I'm just seeing things, see a few ambers starting in that 2nd to last pic. Just my personal 2 cents on it but I'd say flush now w/ at least one more plain RO watering then just chop it when you have the time in a wk

You cut your SLH wk6?? how the heck is the smoke?? I've heard plenty that you'll have a bad time (headaches and whatnot?) cuttin way early. I'm not the end all expert by any sense but wouldn't the trich's be immature and not have anything near its peak potency if at all? I'd love to see a grow journal of yours :D my own guess is possibly you have a really fast finisher and finishing that early for such a fasty doesn't make as huge a difference as I see many others that grow SLH?
