Are the buds ready?

No there not ready to flush yet, still too many white pistils and they're not yet turning back into the bud. I'd say give her 3-4 weeks then start to flush.

Not quite, wait until 90-95% of the pistils have turned brown. If you prefer a heavy and sleepy type of body stone, wait until practically all pistils have turned brown. Harvesting while there are still some white pistils will give you a more trippy and psychoactive mind warping high, due to the higher THC content in flowers with some remaining white pistils, rather than flowers that have higher levels of CBD and CBN, due to THC break down, which occurs once the plant has passed the peak of its "ripeness", as indicated by all the pistils being brown. So it depends on which type of effect you prefer, a head trip or a body stone, but either way, you still have around another 2 weeks or more before harvest, so starting flushing now would be a bit premature. Giving just plain water for the last 7-10 days before harvest is usually more than adequate for a flush. Hope this helps,.......... Organoman.

You should wait until half of the hairs have turned brown before you start to flush,this would suggest your around a week or 2 until she's ready,depending on strain,and yoou want a good long flush to make her taste better.Some autos arent that stable and you see some taking 15-16 weeks from seed to harvest when they claim its 10wks,and some you can set your clock by.If time iis a real issue try some of Green House more stable Autos.Their Kalashnikova is a big stable auto.

Hit here Gatekeeper, nah these, arent ready yet, you cant really tell by the trichomes but you can see immature calyxes etc , down the line you need to be looking at the trichomes using a 50x magnifier minimum, anything less than that and everything will look white/ready like in the picture you have here. You can probably start a 2 week plain water no run off flush in a couple of weeks, maybe less, but not much more. try to time it some the trichomes are like 80/90% milky white. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi! Look a bit young to me, need more weeks.
