I just got back and she is looking ROUGH. What are my next steps after this? I mean she’s still packing on a good amount of bud but don’t really know how to correct her after this far. I did the flush a few days ago with 4 gallons of PH’d water and the pot is still relatively wet. Only really have the GH Flora nutes and CalMag and if yall are right im not going to be using CalMag nearllllyy as much as I was. Advise please?

Start watching your tricomes she's almost ready. The plant is using its own stored nutrients because of the flush that's the color change.

I'm curious. What was the pH of the water?

Really? She’s only 50 days old from sprout. My LCC hit its flowering nearly a week earlier and is also 50 days old and it doesn’t have any amber tricomes yet.

I have this tester that I drop a few drops into a sample of water and it gives me a shade. I gave it what I believed to be between 6.0-6.5

It's called colorimetric analysis.

I don't remember what the medium is. If it's soil, that pH might have been a bit low.

Be aware that its a recipe for trouble at some point. The coco and soil have completely different properties. I looked at your pictures you uploaded. Your buds are very small. You would do much better with either soil or coco ... Your grows can improve if you stop mixing them together.

As you can see these plants are all auto they flower almost too quick I’m working with what I have. I’m using 225 W LED lights in a closet in my basement and a couple of plants outside. Do you think those two first pictures of the close-ups are getting ready to be harvested?

So the fact that they sell coco/perlite specifically for the purpose of amending topsoil and potting soil is a failing business model... I'll have to tell my supplier.....
These were grown in Home Depot bagged topsoil mixed with commercial coco and perlite.

Plants switch to flower for two reasons, time for an auto flowering, and light timing for photoperiod. Are you indoor or out? Do you know what strain it is?

All of my plants are autos. I do have a couple outside. Any couple inside I have sour diesel blue cheese, and Acapulco gold there’s only one out of seven plants I’ve been growing that is not flowering all the other ones flowered way too early. I don’t think there’s a way to avoid that. Thanks for any help though.

Stressful conditions can also cause them to flower. I suspect that's more likely the case for autos than photos, though.
