start flushing already or wait for few more days?

I have this plant very soon to be harvested, it was nearly all milky, but had not gone through the final fattening phase. So i started giving it some AN overdrive and a bit of other PK boost and K boost to give it some final boost to fatten up. Well it pushed out so much new hairs that the plant went from nearly all brown hairs to nearly all white hairs(some of which have started to turn brown already tho), but some look like they might start pushing out foxtails and just end up growing more and more mass on small foxtails that would never finish, while the rest of the plant would get over ripe.. I have some AN flawless finish, that i was thinking of giving this plant a week before cutting it.


TLDR: should start giving the flawless finish now or continue its regular nutes and PK + calmag boosts for about a week as i planned before? Im afraid it will grow new mass with clear trichomes that wont get to go white before current ones go amber.

Thanks in advance :)
 
It’s swelling up, keep the feed going.

Don’t over feed though, less is more.

Okay thanks :) Are you able to give some estimation about how long i might need to keep the feed going? If i understand correctly, those milky trichomes(which are nearly all, except the new ones) dont stay milky for many weeks and they have already been mostly milky for like over a week if not 2+ weeks.

I currently feed it (per Litre)

4ml biobizz biobloom(sometimes i replace this with some extra biotabs pk boost and orgatrex or leave it out completely)

2.5ml biotabs orgatrex(sometimes switch to biobizz biogrow 4ml and sometimes i leave these out)

2.5ml biotabs pk boost liquid(i have been dropping on this a bit or on biobloom after starting overdrive, like every other time i give these and every other little less these or leave biobloom out completely)

2ml overdrive

a bit of biobizz alg-a-mic and acti-vera, some hesi supervit and GHE GH roots. Supervit i maybe give once more, as i want to flush it out properly and GH roots i have already dropped off nearly completely.

0.5-1.5ml ATA CALMAG(or leave it out about every third day)

4ml quanokalong K boost and sometimes i throw a bit of AN sensizym in there.

I have also gives it biotabs mycotrex and bacterex and i put one or two biotabs in it after transplanting it on top of a bigger pot tower style, but it vegged for quite long as i thought it was going to start autoflowering and i couldnt get it under 12/12, so i doubt there is much left of the biotabs anymore, but i have given it feeds without much if any NPK at times.

Do you think this feed is appropriate? I have pretty much grown autoflowers only before and none of them were this big..
 
3-4 weeks maybe

That does sound like quite long considering everything. I hear people saying that you should start to flush when its almost all milky. That was already like 2 weeks ago, also then all the hairs had gone brown and it looked ready in every other way, except it didnt look as bulky as i think it should had.

The strain is an f3 mix of low ryder #1 and northern lights, however it did not autoflower, but it did show signs of being early, or what they today seem to call fast strains, that are mix of autoflower and photo, that doesent autoflower, but flowers early and fast. But this is some non commercial old seed from the early days of autoflowers.It has been flowering properly for about 8 weeks now already. Northern light list flowering time to 7-9 weeks and low ryder closer to 6 or 7 weeks. So this having to flower for 11-12 weeks sounds quite a lot. But is it just the sheer size that does it? As i said im new to non autoflowers, so i dont know, but it does sound weird to me, thats why i want to make sure you got all the details.

This is the plant 10 days ago. As you can see it was nearly all brown hairs, also trichomes were already mostly milky.

I have noticed that some (at least autoflower)plants have more clear cycles where they grow new pistils. With some i have noticed the plant getting more brown before starting a new wave, but never this grown and never as milky trichomes. With them it was always only mostly clear trichomes.

But this being an northern lights/indica dominant. Could it be possible that it would be normal for this to turn large part f current milky trichomes to amber and just grow still so many new trichomes that they balance out the milky to amber ratio to that regular heavy indica smoke?

Sorry if i sound like im doubting, but this does not seem normal to me. Or is it just not seeming normal to me due to my lack of inexperience with photos?

This fellow has also been pushing out preflowers since march and it turned to full on blooming way quicker than any i have seen before after switching to 12/12, just wanted to mentioned this about its weird behavior.
