First timer, week 8, GSC? How close?

Found some seeds in a bag and decided to give it a go. Built room with scraps, invested less than $200 and wanted to see what would happen on a budget as a trial run. After doing much research I believe it is girl scout scout cookies or something close. Smells like cookies baking in and over with a hint of chocolate. I tried a heavy defol, scrog grow and it's not great but I think it's ok for all things considering I had no idea what strain I was working with from the beginning. I thought it a type of haze originally and was going to go 12 weeks but I'm thinking about flushing now instead. Tricomes are about 50% milky 50% clear no amber yet. Any advise would be appreciated.

Nice plants. In my eye they look too rich on nitrogen, you want lime green fade in late flower, because it can partialy block P and K for flowers. Flush? Just lower nuts and go till the end. They are in great condition, so if the trichs are no amber yet, I would give them a little bit more on 11/13 or 10/14 to see if they throw foxes or morph...

Like I said trying it on budget, used mix of miracle grow organic soil and perlite. The only fertilizer I'm using now is tiger bloom every other feeding which is 3 days apart and following instructions on bottle for general feeding. I do like to experiment so when I water I run my ozone generaterator with an air stone in the water for a few minutes right before feeding. Could be doing more harm than good, who knows. They are super frosty and rock solid, but small overall. I do have homemade compost from chicken manure and food scraps that my tomato plants love. I thought about topping the plants with this but was hesitant to introduce any bacteria/fungi this late in the game.

Looking close, just keep and eye on those trichs (on buds) you never know how long they are going to take to turn but unlike most how long threads your not too far off.

I'm in the same boat. I switched my lights on 6/16 10 weeks ago. I saw white pistols 12 days later but my trichomes are still clear. Yours look closer than mine do,i think.
Awesome, they look great! Mine seemed to stretch a good bit and I think I probably over defoliated. Tops look good but havent filled in underneath, I did read this strain is not a huge producer though.

My flip was on 6/8, but it took some time for buds to develop it seemed. Again I have nothing to go off of so... I'd love to see more pics of your setup and buds.

I've got several buds that are still white on the bottoms. I removed all the big leaves and the buds started to swell. I don't have any fan leaves but it's taking so long to finish.
 
I started off never with a bunch of seeds and 95% of the ones I planted, survived. I had over 60 at start,removed only about 20 males and removed several more because of space. My booth is a 40"×48" I've got 5) 48" 6500k led's and 4 6500k round led which I'm still not happy with. I plan on redoing my lights on my next round and fewer girls.

Nice, my room is 5x4 but I'm only using 48x32 with the scrog setup I have. I'm using a variety of 2 cheap led lights, (2) 4' 2 bulb fluorescents, and 2 CFL's for a grand total of a whopping 273 watts. How you making out so far, I think I'm further out than I originally thought, I'm just going to let them ride no matter how tough it is to wait.
