Post a pic or 3. Sugar leaves are irrelevant, for smoking or figuring maturity. Is she auto or photo? ---

Thanks @Audiofreak . She is indica hybrid photo, borderliner is one girl, northern lights another. I wish I could take pic of trichs. Suffice one of a bud on each plant is best I can do. ![P1020704](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/6/0/3/6039747913d4c85a2a2d058436dc67abf5fb0829.jpeg) ![P1020703](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/d/e/1dee177ef9e5a436cb3031e92022e67e5cde4285.jpeg) ---

What Audiofreak said is accurate. Even though we call that a bud, what you have there is all leaves and pistils. As they get bigger the actual flower blossoms or buds will plump up and show themselves. You have a ways to go yet. Trichs on those leaves amber up all during the grow. Flowers… ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/5/f/8/5f87e0934eccef5332ff0be73d658e4e13871597.jpeg) ---

@Spiney_norman that is awesome to tell me, much better than the internet blogs, dang it all anyway. I am hearing you tell me, more or less, don’t get ahead of your skis and wait til week eight or thereabouts. I hear you saying lots of plump out needed and take care of them and leave them alone lol! Which I am entirely willing to do. ---

You got it exactly right. Watch from 8 weeks on…All the white pistils will darken to brown and curl up. Then look at the trichs on the flowers. ---

I count flower when she is putting out hairs and building “buttons” usually for me about 8/10days after light change. It can vary though. ---

right. so you know (for my own ease in counting) I am counting from flip. Your girl is very beautiful already! looks a bit further than mine, altho there ARE amber pistils and curling in, I think you are further along. ---

Different strains. And if you figure "transition " time after flipping you about 2.5 weeks ahead of me. But you have a flatter canopy than i. ---

Transitioned for two weeks before flip. then a little tucking for next two weeks. then hands off and no more touching. Total eight weeks of veg (from birthdays) before flip. ---
