HAS ANYBODY MADE THE MISTAKE OF FLOWERING TO EARLY AFTER TOPPING?

Nice frame ... now please stop with two things.

First - topping. If you keep topping, you will never get your branches long enough to do any weaving through your SCROG netting. And thereby contradicting the purpose of your netting.

Second - counting the days that you have been vegging. Totally irrelevant. You are not worried about how many days you have been vegging. You will know when it's time to flip to flower. So starting right now, here is what you need to do.

Let the branches grow and as they grow, you spread them laterally by weaving them through the netting and fill all those bare spots in. As the branches get longer, you weave them over one piece of string then under the next and grow the branches outwards. You keep doing that weaving until all of those bare spots are filled in. The netting is filled in when you look at it from above and can't really see the floor underneath.

This is why you don't worry about the # of days in VEG. The plants tell you when it time to flip.

It's a little hard to see them real clearly ... but it looks like some of those buds foxtailed on you. Foxtails are bud that have their calyxes grow just a little more stretched out with some small spaces between them as opposed to when all of the calyxes grow more stacked and packed together.

Foxtails in the bud is usually due to heat and/or light stress. Was there that space between the calyxes?

The yellowing really cleared up I wonder was it the tap water cuz I used 1/⁴ tsp of flower fuel also in it yesterday or the recharge I been using gw and myco + the whole time and I'm in FFOF soil

Its because when you flip the plant goes into quick growth and the slower moving nutrients cant keep up. So you get light tops, sometimes very light. But they green up again later.

As for leafy buds did you heavy defoliate them ?

Some plants just grow leafy, that why I run seeds and look for mom's. One of the things on the check list for a plant to be considered to be a mom is calyx to leaf ratio. Other times I think growers can cause it, but I always defoliate pretty hard and have never seen that cause it. Maybe if you were to do it too early in flower more fan leaves would grow back but that wouldn't make more bud leafs. Too much N would could possibly be a culprit for excessive leaf.
