Looks like quite a ways to go to me. Still to many white pistils.

Keep in mind that the ~80 day clock starts when the plant starts flowering. The time estimate should not be interpreted as time from seed.
You probably have a few weeks to go.

Do you know when the pistils appeared? It takes 8 to 10 weeks from that point to produce good bud.
Auto flowers say 10 to 14 weeks.
Think you still have a few weeks or more to go. Looking good, don’t rush it.
Maturity of cannabis is based on the trichromes, which are the resin glands. You’ll need to get a jewelers loupe to look at the flowers. Look up pictures to see the different stages of trichrome maturity.

Only flush if necessary to correct a salt buildup that is submarining your root zone pH.
Never.

Your plant has a few weeks to go yet. It’s not time to start looking at trichomes until all of the pistils have browned.

1 last question and dobt want to sound stupid. Should i pull off lower sun leaves that are starting to brown and turn lihht green like dying? Are the sugar leaves still absorbing light needed for growth
Leave the sugar leaves alone. Lower leaves on the plant are fine to take off. The plant will naturally shed the lower leaves as it matures.
There are no stupid questions. Every one of the experienced growers here started off exactly where you are at the moment and had the same limited knowledge and challenges.
Thx again Midwestguy. Mostbof lower fan leaves are removed as they were yellow to pale green. Not touching fan or sugar leaves just the large sun leaves. Very helpful. Hoping it’s done soon. Super fragrant, I’ll post some trichome ohitos in this thread mext week.
