Is this ready?

8/9 weeks - according to Dutch Pro's grow schedule it's time to flush - I couldn't see any brown pistils but can't trust my eyes hence my question! Take it I'm best letting nature take its course and not regarding the guide as gospel?

for the most part the times they say usually arent that spot on , often plants go longer into flowering

Update! Is she ready yet? (excuse the flash on my camera)
I would like to say she looks great first of all. But no she is not finished. I would give her two more weeks at least. Looks like it's going to be top self once she finishes.
You could start flushing if that's your thing.
Best of luck.
Peace

Well they can turn red or brown but typically not still white. They will also start to recede and not be swollen so yup you have some time. Also it's better to use a loupe and check triches. In your case, with the seeing impairment perhaps a USB scope would work well to post for advice. Also instead of flushing you may want to just start dropping back on feed near the end but not stop, just a thought.

Thanks for your input guys!

I started to flush her on Friday but how long do you reckon a week or 2 perhaps although I'm best part of 4 additional weeks in flower?! * scratches head *

Sometimes the times given just don't match...unless you have a clone, you could have a pheno that's just gonna do it's own thing...seed companies give the EARLIEST dates that you MIGHT be able to harvest and in most cases, you want to go a bit longer.

Anymore I use DR Earth products, no need to flush...it's organic and has beneficial fungi...works great too...not cheep though, but well worth the price.

Ya know, some of that bud almost looks ready and yet, part of it doesn't...something is going on...what are your temps, any light leaks? how long are your lights on? are you looking at them at lights off?...anything?...sometimes it just happens though.

Dirt has a point as the lower buds appear to be farther along but that happens with a few strains. Are you using a bud enhancer, some will do that.

Good Evening All, I use Dutch Pro including their Explode yes. I'm going to flush her for 2 weeks this Friday being the end of the first 1st week and I'll upload another picture then. Thanks again.

Yes, your right. your looking for brown pistils, if buds are still fluffy and pistils are swelling and still straight - not ready.

if pistils are curling all back into the bud so it looks less fuzzy and slightly less puffy, the pistils on that bud will be mostly brown, good luck
