Man,what is up with this 8 week deadline everybody thinks is supposed to happen,ive yet to have a grow finish in 8 weeks & i end up with as good of smoke as anybody can get,no im not doing nothing wrong either,my plants stay healthy from day one till i chop them.
Deadlines are seedbank bullshit imo,they use these figures as a sales pitch sometimes,throw your calender out the window & replace it with a 30 power magnifying glass & a 120 power hand held microscope,let those plants go another 2 to 3 weeks,everyday that plant will pack on new pistils & calyx's,you want to watch until about 70 to 80% of the pistils turn golden brown as said above,then you compare that with the trichome color & look for honey colored trichomes,forget the calender.
Put that plant back on nutes asap & worry about flushing after you see the new calyx development slow down drastically,then flush if your of a mind but flushing is not needed to start with,its a preference & nothing more,flushing is by no means written in stone & is a highly debatable technique,i personally opt to feed em right till i chop & get no bad taste.
Flushing has yet to be proven in double blind testing to accomplish anything twords better taste or better get high,keep feeding that sucker as feeding has been proven to increase bud growth,especially in the final weeks,let em go 3 more weeks,keep feeding them & watch those little buds double in size,you'll be glad you did.

it almost looks like its trying to revert back to veg. have you been going in there at night or leaving a door open and letting light get on it? my other thought is possibly you used a high nitrogen fert. at some point in flowering....but yeah it looks good and i would have no problem smoking that bad boy

damn, now you got me thinking about adding nutes again and stop the flush. I can use a clearing agent for 2-3 days to flush anyway right????

No man i have not been checking them when lights off. plus there in a tent no light has gotten to them. i use fox farm nutes @ 3/4 strength. the only issue that happed is the cola broke off by mistake and ever since hen its been growing weird like that. the other plants look normal... if its bomb ill break another cola to see what happens, lol.

the last 2 weeks in 'total dark' is a very bad idea imo,72 hours maybe.... i think you have a light leak and shes half going back into veg, stick with the flush also

As long as there are no light leaks and your temps are in spec, I'd say the funky growth is just the stress of having her head cut off that far in the game.
Follow Panhead's advice, he like to cut the bs and just grow. Flushing is sort of a personal and controversial issue but you're gonna need to feed before the end. Best of Luck!

yeah ill feed her for a week and start flushing after....trichs are mostly cloudy and in the 8th week..... still think i should feed??????? im a bit confused now....As long as there are no light leaks and your temps are in spec, I'd say the funky growth is just the stress of having her head cut off that far in the game.

no leaks and the other plants are fine. im thinking its stress due to the cola being cut off by mistake in week 5. thinking of duing it on purpose if the smoke in dank!!!

I doubt stress,i think stress gets the blame for way too many things when we all cant answer wtf is going on,im that way too but i doubt stress on this one,look at the pic of the bud in my avatar,that was a real bud,that plant would not stop producing new calyx's,even after 10 weeks every day it would have a new layer of calyx's that covered large areas of the bud,it ended up being as long as my damm arm.
It came to be called "the moose" by some of us here,a member made me that avatar & the caption "its alive" because that fuker showed a ton of new bud growth daily,it doubled in size from week 8 to week 11 when i finally chopped it down,the smoke was better than the rest i chopped earlier also.
That grow taught me to forget the calender & wait for the bud to slow production,sometimes you just get lucky & get a plant that wants to grow more,take full advantage of it while you can.
