For harvest timing? You have several weeks to go yet based on pistil maturity.

Looks like week 11 from seed. The times that seed sellers cite is flowering time and the 8 to 10 week harvest clock doesn’t start until pistils first appear at the tips of the plant. How many weeks has the plant been flowering?

agreed. I will start checking triches closer next week. I’m hoping that finishing outside will help with improving the final product. Here in NC the nights are cooling down and days are very comfortable.

You are looking good. You’ll be happy that the flowers still have some fattening up to do.

oh yeah, week 11 from seed. I have about 7 weeks in flower. I estimate 2 weeks or so. maybe a little more since I am finishing outside.

You’re thinking correctly. Start checking the trichomes after the pistils have browned. You may find this useful:
should I start to flush now, or do one more round of nutes. I am doing Fox farm cha ching and cal mag with a teaspoon of molasses.
The majority of experienced growers feed right up until harvest. You have weeks to go yet and the plant needs balanced nutrition to continue bulking up. A harvest flush is bro science that has been thoroughly debunked.
Suggest a more balanced diet for the next grow. A plant needs a product with proper NPK ratio and micronutrients.
The bloom boosters are far too heavy on mineral salts and eventually cause problems. The FF bloom boosters are the worst of all of these products.
FF makes good soils, but I would transition away from FF nutrients and instead use a product like Jacks 321. You will have good results and minimize the risk of problems.

I have heard that jacks performs well. I do use the fox farm trio in addition to the others I noted and all at 1/2 of recommend dosage and per their schedule. Next run will be apple fritters and I will give jacks a try.

Good. The problem with the FF nutes is that they are very mineral salt heavy. These mineral salts accumulate in your soil over time and tank your root zone pH. A pH that is too low will create a situation where your plant will have a difficult time uptaking phosphorous, calcium, and magnesium.
