Start counting. I normally start my count 1 week after flip:peace:
I started her on 12/12 from seed and still have her on 12/12, so Im not sure when to start actually counting down. I have to go out of town in 7 weeks and there are no other options than to have her harvested by then. So, Im terrified that she wont be ready. Im also a little concerned that there are no trichomes forming yet. Should I be concerned about the lack of 'sparkle'? I have had her alive since late July and she was topped 4 times.

If you started her on 12/12 from seed, then after 21-25 days she showed her sex, so you would have immediately started counting down on that day. But I do have a question: If you started her 12/12 from seed, why did you top her? All you did was cut off your best buds.

To be honest, because I have no idea what I am doing. I, unfortunately, took a friends advice who urged me to top her. I am realizing that friend really doesnt know as much as he pretends to. This is why I am here. I am in dire need of help

I tend to agree with the 12/12... only because if.you wait to keep your plants short, there are better methods such as LST to achieve short plants ..
I've also read numerous times that plants that are allowed to veg till they reach sexual maturity tend to be more potent and more flavorful and tend to reach their Max potential better..

Ok. Thank you. I will def give a veg period from now on. I was hoping to have her produce more with topping her off, but I think I slowed the grow process. When should she start to show trichomes?
