Welcome to the forum! Week 9 flower or week 9 since flip? Looks more along the lines of week 9 since flip. Looks a few weeks out.

I like the way you think lol week 9 since flip naked more since to me now the couple weeks more fits better thank you . Glad to be here much more to come organic time next this was on a flood and drain table. Finding my comfort zone is all. Thanks again
Counting from actual flower has been much more accurate to breeders timelines for me.

Welcome, @Npk420 whole plant pics would help. What does ASAP indicate? EHS (early harvest syndrome) perhaps. But relax I don’t see any amber trichomes, but some clear. Most likely weeks to go. But it’s better to post pics of the whole plant. You will get good advice here. What @BobbyDigital said makes sense because some plants flower a day or two and some a week or two after flipping to 12/12.These things have there own internal clocks that react to differing photons nutrients and environmental conditions. In the end peak potency is indicated by some amber trichomes on buds when most all (90%+) pistils have turned rusty.

Also your 3rd pic looks like there’s an amber filter on your magnifier or something. Light management while taking pics with a magnifier, of small shiny objects is not easy.

It’s just a sugar leaf. They will amber early.

Yes, @BobbyDigital I agree but the entire photo looks awash in amber light. I’m hoping this is not confusing as well as the (possible)amber on leaf trichome. Thus the request for full plant pics.

I am a new grower, so sorry for the stupid question. But when you mean flip, do you mean flip to a 12/12 schedule to start flowering? Wouldn’t start of flower, and flip be the same start?
I’m also stoned brother lol

Yes, flip is when the light schedule is changed. There is a transition period from the time the light schedule is changed and the plant actually starts flowering. It’s typically between 1-2 weeks as it transitions out of veg and starts to produce flowers.
With autoflowers, you don’t really know it’s in the transition period because they do it on their own but you know they’re in flower because they’re actually producing flowers.
Outdoor, you also won’t know when they’re in the transition period because it’s not a sudden thing. They transition throughout a month or so since each day the light hours are slowly decreasing. So the only way to tell is when they’re actually developing flowers.
This is when I start counting flowering weeks. When the buttons are forming and pistils are crowing from the buttons.
Oh, and no stupid questions here. Unless it’s “is the earth flat?”

Perfect explanation! It’s like a pre-flowering phase. Got it! Thank you for the response.
Lol!
Pre flowering is often used to describe when the plant is mature enough to go into flower. A plant can remain in pre flower forever until you change the light schedule.

Yes exactly 12/12 is the flip
