Alien OG: Autopot vs Fabric pot

I was able to get a decent loupe and check out the trichomes. I was surprised to see that there were some amber already. I thought at this point the majority would have been clear. So due to this revelation and with what was going on with the dieing leaves, I decided to start flushing. Both plants look good, the autopot girl seems to have really enjoyed straight tap water. No ph down. I figure play it by ear but hopefully chop them down next week.
