Bubblegum week 7 where am I?

Ending week 6 entering week 7. White pistils filled in everywhere. I have stopped nutes since the strain says eight weeks. I notice that some of the pistils ( maybe 2 percent on each flower) are turning golden colored. I tried looking through a 30x scope led scope, but I just cant make out trichomes. I can see them, but cant really make out the clear from the cloudy. I guess I am more looking for advice here. I really am shooting for a 50-50 cloudy to amber ratio. I want the plant to mature and swell up, without going total couchlock. Like I said 50-50,half cerebral, half couchlock. How much longer?

Really, I stopped nutrients becuase my advanced nutrient schedule says to stop feeding iguana bloom, and nirvana at week six, and to flush for weeks 7 and 8?

Those directions are just a guideline and are strain dependent. My bubblegum from Serious was 9 1/2 - 10 weeks. Growin bud has given me patience I never knew I had

Are you sure you are going into week 7 of flower? That looks like week 3-4 size to me.

Don't stop feeding until 7-10 days before harvest, then fed water only. 8 weeks is 8-9 weeks from "sign of first white pistils" not from 12/12 switch. You have at least 4 weeks left.

For your own sake, dont do this. You want very few amber trichs dude, amber color means that trich is degrading and lost most of it's potency. Cloudy trichs is what you are looking for. The plants genetics will decide what high its going to produce, you just gotta time it right and hit it at it's peak.

Also, you still have a while to go, 3-4 weeks. But be happy because more growth is on the way.

My main goal is to pick the plant when it is ripe. If there has to be a few more amber trichs, then so be it. I dont want to start harvesting with say... mostly cloudy and no amber, if the plant is going to bulk up in size a week later. I keep hearing about the buds swelling up more in the final week.

I will continue my bloom nutes. Should I start stepping the strength down since flush is near? My girl is eating full strength nutes like candy currently. I am ceasing my bloom booster, but maybe a teaspoon of blackstrap unsulphured molasses per gallon would be good to add now instead?

Looks really white for 7 weeks what kind of light r u useing and how close is it , defenitly at least 4 to 5 weeks to go, use all the factors together ( 50% red hairs, cloudy to amber trics no more bud growth, and most important when's your current stash going to be gone) looks really good though, the wait will be worth it when u get 2 times the yeild. Happy smok'n

The only way I can describe it, is the pods where te seeds usually would be, will swell like there are seeds in them, and I mean really swell... I always tell my brother who I new to growing, when you think it's done, it's probably not, give It more time

My light is a 135 watt 7 band multispectrum Ufo Led over top (12") and three 100 actual watt 2700K Cfl's around the sides (about 1" away from foilage) My 7 weeks was from switching to 12-12, so I am probably off on the "7 weeks".
