Good to go, so if you were guessing how many more weeks should they go? Do you pull your bud based off of trichome ripeness?
Flushing plant still didn’t stop nute burn

If you top dress a plant when you put water through that top dressing it feeds the top dressing to the plant. Therefor watering less would be more of a solution to burn than flushing more water through it.

On a guess at least 2-3 weeks. I started by using the tricomes colors but after some more experienced folks on here advices to go by the pistils when they change color and start curling back into the buds and I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed how much they bulked up in those final weeks. Now I don’t look at tricomes at all. Don’t get me wrong even harvesting a bit early is still going to be some great smoke and some like to harvest early it’s a bit different buzz then if let go longer.
when I did go by tricomes I would wait till I at least seen some ambers. You could harvest some tops and let the lowers mature more it’s all up to you so try some sooner then some later and see what you prefer and go by that.

My only worry is honestly that if I wait until they curl back into the buds that they’re all gonna be amber and couch lock me, I’m not really looking for something to go to sleep with rather I’m looking to get out and do things and feel energized, As well as a head high!

Also I’ve been told that the buds will continue to shoot out white hairs no matter how long you let it go? Is this true?

Depends on the genetics.

Haha I have been but I’m not sure if there are more white hairs coming on or not but I know the ratio of white hairs to brown hairs has remained very similar for quite some time

If you continue to see white hairs and brown ones I would use both tricomes and hairs for an indicator and pull it when you think it’s ready. We can only see photos so we don’t know your grow you have to go by what you think is best and as long as you get something off it that’s a win in my book.

Yes but less water makes your plant wilt and with enough water such as a garden hose for 5 mins running pretty hard is enough to wash away the first 3” of soil so there’s no worry that any nutes were left over in what it did leave but I get what your saying just unfortunately didn’t work out like that, the plant needed the water but not the nutes

Also it should be stated that I mistook lack of nutes for nute burn! I have since figured out the issue, def running low on Pot. And phos. But this late into grow I’m not giving them any, they will struggle a bit but make it through the ending strong still! There’s only a couple weeks left!

Update: looking good now, still waiting as long as I can! Another week or two, three max!
