Still newbie to growing. Started a bag seed, which was a bit stunted and then somehow started flowering to early (outdoor grow). She is very small, but seems healthy. I checked with a loupe and she looks ready, but just want to get opinions. I tried my best to get some pics of the trichs, hopefully they are not to out of focus. I can almost swear i see amber? im a right?

now, second question, for my new grow. nutes ... i dont understand nutes!! my new grow is a perlite hempy (second attempt) so i will be giving feedings the whole time. So i have a soluble nute which is 6:1:3 for veg and one that is 2:4:2 for flower. My previous grow started slow in the hempy, until the roots hi the res, about the same time i started 1/8 feeding of the 6:1:3 and when she grew a bit, 2/8 , 1/4, 1/2 until i got to full, plant loved it ... up to a point, then stunted again. I figured she was not getting enough nutes? so now my question is, can i double the dose of nutes? (two scoops instead of one?) or must i buy stronger nutes?

Lastly, and this might be a *very* stupid question. If i scoop 1 scoop of nutes, and add it to a 5Litre water bottle ... will the whole bottle contain 6;1;3 ? or can it be that some parts of the water has no nutes in?

Lets see a pic of the whole plant, or a cola or two. I harvest once the pistils have receded into the calyx. It is hard to tell if it ready IMO with just close up pics of trichs.

Photos as requested. As you can see, she is very small. And the leaves tell the story that she never vegged. Basically went straight into flowering for some reason. The yellowing on the leaves are intentional. Stopped feeding nutes about a week ago because i thought she might be near ready.

Ok. Cool! Im kinda happy to hear that. That means more growth. :D

Like i stated, i stopped the nutes, but will re introduce them now again.

Can i continue full strenght again? Or should i start low and gradually increase again after the break

Less is more ime. But yes, back on nutes if that is what you have been using. They look like they need some food so I would go 3/4 strength, see how they get on, make sure no leaf tips get burnt and then increase as you feel necessary on future water.
The stigmas (white hairs) look fairly young, these will continue to develop and grow. The pistils (stigmas and calyxes) will eventually swell up and the stigmas will start to brown and receed back into the calyx (calyx is the pod that the white hair grows out of) as they swell up with resin. Only then will it be ready to harvest. And yes, it should get a lot bigger. Good luck.

Well in the mean time you can cruise through the archives of riu using the search tool. Then you can figure out how to tell when shes done from old threads. Looks maybe a little over watered?
