Yeah, it's fine.
Our opinion on ready is different from the biological end of the plants life.
Itl still be drinking, eating, transpiring

time scale goes something like this, clear/milky then milk/amber then amber/amber each has a little bit different chemical make up depending on what you are going after, i believe the longer you go the more CBN you can get in the bud, but im sure someone will correct me
Yea its a fast flowering strain called honey cream it says its a 6 to 7 week strain but it will have to go 9weeks so hopefully the quality wont suffer too much
go go kid

you mean the breeder says its a fast maturng plant, you will be able to and probably should wat a few more weeks for it to mature. breeders just want to sell there beans to you. so they say its a very early variaty.
what strain is it and from which breeder. it sounds bogus to me.

Yea its honey cream from RQS online it says 7 to 8 weeks some say 6 to 7 weeks i will be going just past 9 once im out of hospital i will chop, my guess is by then i will have about 50percent or more amber trichomes i will post how it looks when i do

Disregard what breeder “ says “ … plants finish when finished. Breeder estimates on harvest is highly subjective - either from lab run ( controlled conditions) or market hype.
You will be fine.
Last thing - will those plants be without water for 2 weeks ?

Nah my wife will water but its going to be plain water

no no no, last 2 3 days max with just ph'd plain water if you must flus, personaly, flushings for toilets
So I want to do a side by side comparison with one plant flushed and one not flushed ( same cultivar) I am sure this topic is as old as the Bible, but I think I want to find out what works for me. I have heard about the “ grey ash” bit before but need to figure this one out for myself. I will jar separately and all other variables will be constant

Best way is to try it yourself and then get friends to do blind taste test , don't even tell them one was flushed or wasn't..

Yea a long time grower flushes for that reason with grey ash when smoking a joint. He uses strait promix so has to feed Everytime waters kinda like Coco. He says if joint stays lit and grey ash no left over nutes in bud. If joint dies out when smoking and has a black ash has nutes in and might be harsh. I'm using salts with fox farms soil so only feed once a week. They had a big blind study and something like over 85% chose the unflushed bud as the best. I think flushing if build up of salts you can actually see on pot but worth trying so you can see for yourself. Good luck

Does this sound crazy?
If you feed a plant a high nitrogen fertilizer late in flower, the plant will absorb a lit of nitrogen, even though it's not using that much nitrogen.
So it will "build up" in the plant. And cause problems like the notorious sooty black ash.
In the past, to get around this problem and prevent the build up of nitrogen, old school growers stopped feeding all together near the end of flower. To allow the plants to "use up" all the nitrogen. So "flushing" made sense, considering the tools they had.
These days, growers have a lot more control over the N-P-K of nutrients. And it's easy to lower the nitrogen near the end of flowering while still feeding everything else the plant needs.
That way you get all the terps and flavors (and high brix) that come from well fed plants. Without the build up of quality-killing nitrogen. So you're accomplishing the same thing the old school guys did by "flushing" without the draw back of starving your plants.

Similar to the way old school guys love Epsom Salt as a flower additive. Back in the day, regular-ass Miracle Grow didn't have Magnesium, so they needed to add Epsom Salt for best results. Possibly with knowing why.
My wife doesnt know how to mix nutrients and im not gonna bother telling her to, so yea it gunna be just water while im away, but the buds are fattening up alright on the green gelato, and the little plant is the honey cream,

3 weeks is going to put your right on point with that plant. Make sure when you're checking trichomes that you are looking at the bud not the leaves. The leaves can have amber trichomes much earlier. Trichomes aren't a great indicator imo.
