Day 42 of flower barely any Trichs :(

Day 42 of flower on my sunset travelers with barely any trichs. One of the plant started turning red early and is getting a lot denser than the others way quicker but still doesnt really have trichomes... i know its still a lotta time left so they could sugar up a lot near the end and im hoping this is the case. Anyone go thru this before?

This grow is organic with roots organic soil mixed with peat moss and added perlite and ewc. I top dress monthly with down to earth 4-4-4. And a now that theyre in flower a little 0-11-0 seabird guano as well. The tips are curling down so im sure i have a lil N toxicity but nothing i can do about it since everything is naturally in the soil except keep feeding plain water (which i have for weeks).

i started adding molasses to my waterings over a week ago to increase trichs and im not sure if its working or not but it hasnt harmed them. I also added a gallon of water and yeast/sugar combo to produce A lil more co2 In the tent.

if i dont see a lot of increased production in two weeks I might switch this grow to synthetic nutes (i have some already) because i need a huge increase i production. I need to move this to put food on the table

Patience

Might be a genetics thing? I've got a strain I'm near harvest and was freaking out over the same issue at around the same point, it only started getting really frosty at around day 60 of flower and it's looking real nice now at day 85. And some strains still kick ass even through they're not super frosty. Suppose you won't know how potent is it really is until you harvest and try it.

Just focus on giving a good environment and dont overfeed, just adding molasses won't increase trichomes without having a healthy root zone etc. Changing nutes mid flower sounds super risky to me.

Is that 42 from the flip? How long did it take to show flowers? They look good, they just dont look like 6th week buds. They have a long time to go yet 5 weeks +.

yeah 42 from flip. i flipped june 1st just so i could keep track. It took maybe a week and a half to show flowers. They were really slow developing at first and had real small buds for about 2-3 weeks after that. Combo of things from high temps and N toxicity. Fixed some ventilation two weeks ago and turned my lights down and the buds really started coming in after that. Added some homemade co2 and i think its helping some. I think the heat was the biggest thing because i was hitting 90+ at first But now im fluctuating 80-88 lights on.

Just be patient. Im hoping we are all past the worst of the heat.
