Hi tia for your patience. I'm a newbie, first grow. I wear contact lenses which dry up a lot, go figure. I'm having trouble peering at my clear and milky balls, despite the microscope. I'm on day 53 (week 7) of growing an AK auto in soil. I've uploaded some images, does anyone recognise where I'm at from this or do I need to invest in more reliable photographing method?
Poor eyesight and a shaky hand.

I'd say about 1 month as well. Till harvest. To quote the poet, flushing is for toilets.
Whose AK autos are you growing? I just wrapped up a couple of AK autos from Advanced Seeds and one went about 85 days and the other about 90.

Thank you so much for the advice. They are royal queen seeds.
May I ask why people are saying don’t flush? I keep reading it will be a smoother smoke if I do.

Some people believe it does but theres absolutely no science to back that up. Plants don't release nutrients through their roots no matter how much water you pour over them, so flushing really just deprives your plants of nutrients at what is actually an important time for bud growth and development.
My personal experience is also that flushing is a waste of time.
When people flush because of nutrient toxicity they're actually trying to fix an imbalance in the medium and not the olant itself.

Also, I'm not familiar with RQS AK auto but I'd guess it will be on a similar time-line.
