Jock Horror Feminized - Nirvana, Day 70 since flip...

My Jock Horror ladies were flipped to 12/12 light cycle seventy days ago today. They started flowering seven days after the flip. I was hoping to chop them this morning when I watered them, but I haven't seen any amber trichomes yet. I'm waiting for 5 to 10 percent of the trichomes to turn amber then I'll harvest them. One place I read gave JH a flowering time of 50 to 65 days, and another place I read gave the strain 70 days. Looks like I'm gonna hit the 70 day's. I would assume they base their flowering time from the day they flip to the 12/12 light cycle? Anyway, I'm using an Orb to watch for amber trichomes and I'm checking them when I water, which is every three days. Here are a few pics of what I have going on. I won't disclose how many grows I've done, but I will say this one has been the longest. Oh, a few side notes. I topped them one time after the second node for four colas. I've been feeding them molasses only for the past two weeks, and they have produced a very pungent sweet smell. Feel free to post any experience or opinions, but please be kind to me and everyone else.

what kind of light are you using?

i'm doing my last of 5 JH fem seeds right now. my flowering times have decreased when i went from HPS to LEC. almost all strains i do went from 9 weeks to 8 or less with the LEC.

like most will tell you, they are done when they are done.

Yea, that's the deal. I'm using a 600 watt Hortilux Blue light in a 4x4 tent

Looks good man!

Any time I've ever had those golden brown leaves its a ph issue caused by not washing out unused fertilizers. Have you been checking the ph of the run off from your watering? Im betting its around 5.6. In my early years of growing i had plants not finish at all and end up just moulding as a result of this. Heartbreaking stuff after putting so much effort in!!

How you take tho close up trichome pics?
I'm currently finishing a jock horror too. Its a feminized seed from nirvana. My last one!

You reckon its ok to keep feeding molasses during the finish instead of just water? Maybe thats why someof my plants never get that proper smell you'd expect? thoughts?

Nice grow my friend not trying to worry you but looks like plant on the right might have a bit of bud rot might just be the pictures
