Feels like I'm stuck in pre-flower mode

So not much has changed. I am just now realizing that every single leaf has 5 points. Have I spent over two months growing a purely ruderalis plant?

You can have anywhere from 5 to 9 leaves, at least that's the most I've seen on a plant. Indicas tend to have 5-7 range, Sativas tend to have more.

If the plant has had issues/stressed it can have fewer than 5.

Here are some pictures here on day 77. Not much has changed except another inch or so in height. Not a trichome in site. There are also leaves that are coming in with 3 leaflets. A couple of days ago I started to flush with plain pHd water. PPM levels were rising. I spoke to the folks at seedsman. They think it is all very strange to be this late in the game with no bud growth. They offered to send me some replacements seeds from their seedsman brand.

Day 84. I started a 12/12 light cycle over a week ago. Also PPM's were rising daily so I started to flush with plain pH'd water. pH first started to drop dramatically daily and now it is rising dramatically daily. The bottom half of the leaves are drying up daily. Has never giving off much of a sent. I looked into what is there in the pre-flowers with a magnifier and see can strain to see tiny trichomes which look cloudy.

she is filling in nicely but no where close to finishing... you see any red hairs yet?

No red hairs yet. Hairs lower down on the plant are turning brown. All of the pairs of sex pistils at the nodes turned brown a while ago. Isn't this totally bizarre place for an auto to be at day 84? What are you thoughts on nutrients? I've been flushing with plain water and my pH even within the flush won't stabilize for more than a few hours and then it goes wildly out of whack. I use the General Hydroponics Flora Grow series of nutrients. Should I added back in some bloom nutes?

it is strange for sure... your in hydro aren't you?

Yes this is hydro.

Day 94. Buds do not seem to be filling out at all. No smell. Some pistils are turning red. Very small sugar leaves that don't seem to grow out and have some trichomes on them. I've stopped all nutrients for about 2 weeks now as every leaf seems burned and PPMs would just rise overnight. I'm not even pHing my water as it falls two whole points over night.

How close up can you take clear pictures?
