WEEK 12, 1% amber trichomes, HELP, PICS!

I'm looking for a second opinion if available. I hhave "flushed" these last two weeks with bud candy and ph balanced city water. Now, I called the dude at the local grow shop for some advise about putting the plants bqack on nutes and which ones(if any). He said I did it just right, two weeks of flushing then put back on nutes for two weeks at 50% petency. Im using "roots organic arura" ( don't know if I can name drop, sorry if I effed up) 1 part for bloom. ive had them on this since week 6(besides flush). before it was 2 part GH. If u need to know what they were on before in detail, ask. im in week 12 going on 13 and I have only about 1% amber triches. in all, they are on that 1 part bloom, bud candy, floralicious plus and calimag pumped up to 200PPM instead of 50. What is your opinion on this(anyone please)? the main problem is they wont ripen... its diesel #1. if im not mistaken, that is sativa dominant and normally takes a while, right...? I have pics. its one LARGE plant. any advise is good, or if u need more info i'll tell you. 600 w hps lamp and I know its not ph issuses. I know theyre are a lot of variables, just ask for detail.View attachment 2853416View attachment 2853417View attachment 2853418View attachment 2853419View attachment 2853420View attachment 2853421 please and thank you

Yeah probably just needs that extra little time. Also make sure youre lookin at the trichs on the buds and not the sugar leafs.

But you could probably take her now. thc is coming to a max and she should be fully done by 13 weeks.

you wont see a major increase in yield or potency at this point. Mainly just flavors.

this is where im confused... I have a microscope that does up to 60x and I peeped at them again after panicking and asking for help a ton. there's a HUGE noticeable difference from this morning. its not that more(trichs) are done maturing...its that almost all of them have started turning brown/tan. (trust me this is good. if I had to put a number on it I would say 50-60% have started changing from milky in one way another. some, just the cap of the trich is maturing and some are doing in the "core" of the trich. this isn't an issue this is good but it is a drastic difference in 12 hours. So im gonna let em go just a bit more, I was glad I was patient this long I think I can wait another couple days.13 weeks! ugh! I want to know where I screwed up. I don't know wtf is going on but I changed from water back to weak nutes around 4pm central time, that cant be it. thank you for your imput... im not getting much

wow really nice one mate .. give her another week and chop

my understanding if over half of your trichomes are turning brown or amber you have already waited too long, as when the triches go amber the thc is degrading, getting weaker. If that is the case you need to harvest yesterday.

agreed. chop dat bitch! haha

hey noticed in the pics your running hydro so not to sure how this relates cause ive only done soil but in my experiences I find stresses during flower tend to delay full maturation so if you've had any issues that might stretch the recommended flower time a bit, another thing have you cut the light down towards end of flower(gradually is better, less shock) to say 10 on 14 off or run 12/12 all the way through (more so important on indica dominant), and also it comes down to luck of the phenotype draw(unless a clone) ive gotten exact replicas to what ive ordered in every way except had considerably differing flower time had 9 week strains finish in bout 56 days had 8 weekers take 10 weeks depending what side of their family they took lol def not trying to criticize just possible things to consider on delayed maturity oh and also high nitrogen can also cause it but based on what you said nute wise I don't particularly see that being a factor
