Ok, promised pics but it'll be a little skimped since i got home after light's out and didn't want to disturb them too much. You can see the extreme growth over the course of literally 48 hours. These girls are going to be pretty i can tell!
Again, i apologize for the very vague photos, i'll do a thorough update the next watering or so.
These are my Whiches Weed and Grape Sorbet i have goign in my veg at the moment.
Very vigorous growth, can't wait to see what these girls evolve into.

Hey nnep nice pix, So why do you think my plant is done? Im a little confused?

Well, there are a few factors. That plant has been nute burned or def it's entire life, and it actually looks great. I'm shocked at how much bud you got, i'm just worried that it's going to herm on you.
See, i know breeders flowering guidelines are estimates, however easyryder at 10 weeks is getting close to doubling the actual flower cycle. What happens when you take a annual past it's prime ripeness, it starts dieing, very fast. A plant's main purpose in life is to reproduce, in reality the plant has no idea that you're trying to do the opposite, prevent reproducing and make pure sensimilla bud (no seeds).
Now when a plant is taken past it'd prime ripeness, the plant will go into it's last stretch at an attempt to reproduce, thus a good chance of the plant hermieing and self-pollinating. That's kind of nature's failsafe to protect the plant from extinction, hell, everything about a plant is evolved for the plant's survival, it's fascinating really.
Anyway, what does all that mean? Basically, you're at 10 weeks now on a 5-7 week flowering autoflower plant. In my opinion, and take it as you may, you're asking for hermies soon. The trichs are the number one sign to see if your plant is ready, but don't be fooled into always thinking that it's correct, sometimes the plant will begin it's desperation life cycle because you've missed other key clues.
To me, that plants looks fully ripened, the buds have swelled, the leaves are starting to die off, and you still need another week for flushing. In my opinion, flush now and watch as the trichs turn amber very fast in the next week or so. Continuing to feed a plant full strength nutes at week 10 is rare even for sativas, and you've got the opposite of a sativa.
Keep in mind the plant has spent it's entire life stressed out of it's mind from the early nute burns and overwaterings, so you're definitely rolling the dice at this point.

Plant is a LR2 CrossBreed I made. 9 weeks from seed done
The plant was Stressed and hurt its life and now we have pushed back its life and how it will grow and eat.
The date they give is commecial and I always add 2 weeks to the date. Also we cant go by that becuz the plant was sick and you know that a plant sick goes back a week or 2.
Also the plant will not hermie,.I have been watching and dont see any charecteristics. I am watching the plant closely. Now everyday I look at the trichs. they are still clear. Meaning the plant can take up food. I gave it a feed of 1200 PPM. 1.5 days later its at 300PPM so I fed it again. and I bet tonite it will be at 400 PPM. Why becuz we had nute lock and the plant was not feeeding. So we feed it now a big amount of nutes becuz it will use up those nutes sinec it lacked them all its life. Just think about it.
Then you have the trichs. Still clear and some are just getting cloudy. I will and most people I know wont cut aplant till they get 50/50. why would u cut it earlier and waste your crop?? Idk how you do things but I am going to listen to what a plant is telling me, showing and trying to get done.

So one can have a opinion yes. I may not be as smart or know as much as you. SO if you could explain and teach more. That would be great. Dont you think?

I'm no teacher, i just like to share what i know with others. All my opinions are just the product of lots of reading, research, and my own experience. Make no mistake, i'm no expert. In fact, i came to this site only knowing the basics, a lot of the technical stuff i've picked up along the way i owe to ICmag, and a few other internet resources.
With that said, I'm sure once you dial everything in, you'll be just as helpful to newer growers and the cycle continues. Thus what makes a successful community
Some pics! I hate to take pics under the HPS because my camera doesnt have a very wide light adjustment range, but i did my best to try to convey the amount of recent growth. The lighter green you see is new growth.
The SLH and Purp lady freebies, i think this is about week 3.5ish maybe?
The skunk crosses!

Wow, it's the 10th of February already, where has this year gone?
Ok today instead of a normal watering, i took everybody out, pulled off dead leaves, checked everything out, etc etc. Everything is looking great! The girls are about 4 feet tall now, and will probably hold still there.. Bud sites are plentiful and the smell is very strong and pungent (think dirty gym socks).
From left to right (read like a book if your monitor splits it): Sleestack 2 , OG18, Kandy Kush, Sleestack 3

Looking sharp!
Are you going to trim along the bottom at all, or is your 400 enough to penetrate that deep?
