Hi guys, first grow here. I have 3 GSC x Skywalker outdoor plants, I am now 63 days into flower and one of my plants triches haven’t changed for a week or so while the other 2 have their pistils changing Amber.. here’s some photos, I’m currently on day 4 of flushing. My question is, should they start turning before my flush is done, or did I flush too early, thanks in advance.
Pistils not turning Amber

This is why I dislike growing from seed. My plants are at 70 days and some of them look about finished, but some of them like they can go several more weeks. What's even more annoying is the plants with the biggest colas are the slower ones.
If you are going to flush, which most people on here advise against, you need to wait until the plant looks ready to harvest. If you do plan to flush and you don't want to have two feeding setups, it's better to keep giving the mature plants nutrients than to starve the slower plants.
I thought I flushed a bit too early, hopefully someone can verify that 100%… either way, we’re into heavy rain on VI so that was the reasoning behind the flush. Here’s each plants
thanks for all the info! I’ll definitely hold off, it’s crazy the last one was the first to bud, but will be the last to harvest, I noticed they all went cloudy and the last plant has 2% amber triches but I’ll wait another couple weeks.

I’ve only done 2 waters with no nutes, should I go back to my ripen feeding schedule for another 2 weeks?

Watch out for bud rot
ifs its damp at night
ifs its damp at nightthat’s what I’m most worried about, since we’re getting 4/7 days heavy rain, and the nights are 75% humid being on an island. I guess I’ll do my ripening feed for another week or 2 than flush and just keep an eye on them.
Was also under the impression of flushing for the best smoke and flavour..
It’s been flowering since July 31, so a bit under the 63 days, I’ll continue feeding and repost around the 10th of October for opinions on ripeness, I’ve grown lots of plants previous years but never let them grow full term, so I’m a noob when it comes to flowering

what part of the world counts July 31 to now 63 days? So your at 50 days and most new people count flowering as soon as pistils are present. Counting starts when you start to see clusters not single pistils popping out in the beginning. I take a penalty week off and your at 43 days in to flower. I bet your gonna be looking good on the 10th though. Probably get real ripe by the 23rd.

Wait until your flowers set before starting to count, lve got plants that started getting hairs early july, buds never set until mid August. Big buds but have later showers that will be done before. Autos close by now ld assume!
That would be my issue than, my biggest problem was with the rain we’re having now, was rushing so I don’t see mold. I’ll be feeding and waiting until mid way through October and I’ll post here to get some reactions at that time. So far everything has been a breeze up until this point, thanks for looking out.
Yeah my bad, lol getting impatient and completely new with the flowering process. Thanks a bunch.
This was august 15, definitely counted flowering days early.

Yeah clearly I need more time, I’m glad I posted here, tried doing as much reading and research as I could but obviously I’m just rushing things, I was 3 days into flushing so I’ll go back to my regular feeding for the next month and report back with how they look, I’m assuming I’m only 50 days in after comparing pictures.
yeah, I’m certainly over-thinking it.. I have 1 uk cheese that started flowering around 30 days ago and I’m happy with it, not sure why I’m so stressed about these 3 lol.. this is the UK
