Trichomes just showed their heads before the start...

Trichomes just showed their heads before the start of the 4th week. Should I start with the flowering nutrients right now or wait until the plant gets a little higher? It's 24-25cm high now.

Seeing as it is an auto flower, its likely just reached maturity and has started growing some preflowers. I wouldn't start feeding any flowering nutes just yet. Maybe give it another 3-5 days and see how developed the slowers are at that point. I remember it was about 5 or 6 days, from the first signs of pre-flowers, before flowering officially had kicked in. I would feed a very light dose of flowering nutes while maintaining your veg nutes once flowering starts and the stretch begins. During stretch the plant still needs a lot of nitrogen which is why you dont want to completely swap to flowering nutes until it has finished stretching. Might also be a good idea to look up the feeding chart for your nutes and see what it says.

you need a bit longer always remember 5or 6 month is the expected time veg/bud so continue the good work and let her grow a bit more when its budding the branch will change form and placement

She's not ready yet. Keep feeding her veg nutes until she does some stretching ans shows a definite flower of multiple white pistils. Then use your bloom lights which has a more of a red light spectrum for bud growth. Then start using your bloom nutrients. I you use them too soon you will have a long stretched out looking plant too weak to support those heavy buds. As for your cat mine is always checking out my grow tent. I give her some fresh catnip in her toy mouse and seems happier with that than my plants. 👍

No you want to feed them flowering nutrients when u see your first white hair growing and when they are growing like it's in the flowering stretch. Your plant looks good and I r still in veg

You wait to use the flowering nuts because she is not flowering yet. Even if you can see some pistils it is more to show her sex than to tell you that she will go into flowering because it is too soon. Wait for the stretch ( the plant will double in size before flowering ) and start the bloom feeding at that moment.
