How Long to Keep Going?

Strain: Easy Rider
Growing: Hydro

Am in wk 9 of flower with clear trichombs. Was advised in wk 8 to cut back nuts to 1/4 and then chop - BUT - trichombs still clear with pistils half-brown.

Main question: It seems to need to go longer, but is it good idea to continue at 1/4 nut level - or can I increase nuts back up to what they should be at end of flower? In other words - what is effect of changing nut level up and down?

You should stop nutes right now, and either give them straight water, or a molasses mix. It would also be a good idea to flush the plant, which would speed the 'cleansing' of ferts from the plant, resulting in cleaner, better tasting smoke(minimizes grassy smell, too). Most flush, some don't, but whatever you choose to do, just make sure to stop feeding them til their finished, because they have more than enough nutes to finish their cycle.

straight water and molasses at 1 TBSP per gallon.

P.S. Most people choose to flush 2 weeks before harvest,(then quit feeding) and those who don't flush, quit feeding a couple weeks before harvest. Of course, the idea behind flushing, is to produce the cleanest smoke possible.

Appreciate the help! I'll flush while waiting for trichomb further development.
