Slow growing auto. Should I start flushing or am I more than 2 weeks off still (day 80)

[Staxx33]

Getting pretty deep into my first grow. I think a combination of genetics and also maybe some stunting the first couple weeks while I had environmental challenges. Plant started really flowering / budding around day 55. Today is day 80 and I'm still seeing quite a lot of white hairs as well as no amber at all. I'd like to just give plain water for the last week or two but this is my first grow and the plants seem to be on the slow side so I'm having truble deciding how close to chop this one is. This is just 1 out of the 3, believe it or not the other 2 appear about 2 weeks behind in flowering but are also on day 80. Honestly getting pretty impatient looking at other's day 70-80 chop day posts. Have my next run all lined up with better genetics just need these to finish up.

Tried my best to get good pictures but I'm just holding a 30x up to my phone camera.

For flowering growth rate if it's helpful I included a start of flowering pic showing the plant on sept 4th.

Another 2 weeks, when you think its done, add another week or 2!

Looks like she may have a bit longer to go, check the trichs on the bud not the sugar leaves.

I wouldn't flush at all.

Flushing: The Myth that won't Die

Of all the garden myths that exist, I hate this one the most! I'll do my best to drive nails in its coffin, once and for all! So first, I'm going to give you a little information, then, DO your homework! This can't be answered in a paragraph, you need to get some in depth information. I'm...

From the look, she has a lot of filling in to do yet.
20 to 30 days off from cutting I'm guessing.

When did you begin counting? First true leaves will get you close (close, not at) breeder times... by close I mean 10 to 14 days.
After a couple hundred autos down, I've never had one run stated times. Am always off by about 14 days, and I count from first true leaves.

Looks like she went thru some problems for sure which might make it go longer. Still you will get some flowers to smoke at the end.

Thanks everyone that gives me a good idea. If I'm still 2-4 weeks out should I be worried about the rate the leaves are yellowing? I figured it was just the natural dieing off in flower but maybe it's a little low on nitrogen? Should I be worried?

i think she looks a little bit hungry what medium are you using coco or soil and what are you using feed wise

This is in 5gal pot with ProMix HP feeding with GH Flora series. Under a mars hydro tsw2000
I had started the plants in a 3-part system but my other 2 plants were having trouble dealing with the nitrogen so about 3-4 weeks ago I switched to lucas formula. Giving about 4ml / 4ml / 8ml of calmag / micro / bloom. Been feeding most waterings. Feeding 2-3 times in a row then just ph'd water for one. These days giving feed/water every 2 to 3 days.

I was noticing around some of the buds what I thought was some nute burn (attached pic) so I wanted to back off a little bit, maybe just need to adjust the ratios a little?

Another vote here for no flush. Getting it correct a couple weeks ahead of time is tough, better IMHO to just keep feeding them. I suggest just tapering off once you think you are close. As others suggest, the end is usually farther away than you think, especially if you are going for significant amber.
