HELP! Flowers in different state

[nobiegrower22]

Hello Guys! This is my first grow and my plant is almost ready. I just have a problem, while the dominant bud looks like it will be ready soon, the other buds down below look very young.
What should i do?
First pic is an example of youger looking bud while the latter two is the top bud

Not sure any of them look ready. How do your trichomes look? Is it one plant? 1st one like you said could be if so you can take it off and leave the rest to mature

There's nothing wrong with harvesting the primary cola and leaving the others to mature a bit longer. Could even help divert more resources to the secondary buds. Healthy looking girl. Good luck

I'm using the brown hairs method, I'll harvest basing my choice on the percentage of brows hairs. If i manage to get a good photo, i can even get a look at trichomes. The main bud seems to have its first amber trichomes while the rest still have clear trichomes so it should be a matter of days

If i do like that, what about flushing?

[crucialbunny]

I'm probably not the best person to ask about flushing because it's a practice that I don't understand unless I've over fertilized and need to dilute. When I decide to harvest I give a long drink of weak epsom salt water and let the soil dry for a couple days then cut.

I always go by trichomes because the hairs are different on different strains and can steal some bulk from you if you harvest to soon. I use an app on my android phone called "cosy magnifier and microscope" it let's you see and take pictures if you can hold still enough to do it, there's different apps out there so I'm sure apple has one as well. Flushing has become a controversial thing, I personally think that two weeks of just water to something you're trying to get to grow is a good idea, and not really sure how not feeding it is gonna take out the nutes already there. Thought that was the purpose of the cure was to sweat the impurities from your buds. I think flushing is going to hurt more than help. I'm not the only one either I've read articles arguing both sides, I just picked this side.
well hope I helped you and not confused you more.... good luck

I only used prefertilized soil for my autos so maybe flushing is not necessary at all, as you say
You didn't confuse me at all anyway! I think I'll just do as you say

I flush when the buds get milkey. I harvest when any part of the buds get amber trichs if it's just the top colas take them allow the lower half to ripen. Simple as that done with explanation. I don't use soil that's got fertilizer if you do i'd flush but to each his own.

[nobiegrower22]

Two pics i managed to take. What do you think?

[SoOrbudgal]

Looks milky needs more time
