Early to mature?

I have a purple punch a couple days past 4 weeks into flower and it looks like I should already have started flushing it? Is that normal?
I had been using botanigard wp22 as well as neem and circadian sunrise as I’ve had to battle root aphids.
Wondering if the root aphids or my treatment caused it to mature early?
Hoping to flush it for 3 weeks from the botanigard wp22.
The other three plants appear to be more on a 8 week cycle though maybe smaller buds as well :(

From the pics I’m not sure that you are quite that close. I assume your math is 4 weeks of bloom plus 3 weeks of flush for a bloom cycle of 7 weeks. Even 7 weeks seems a bit short. If you are going by the growers recommended time be prepared to add a few more weeks as they are always too short. I assume we are talking about photoperiods. It’s possible your root aphids triggered something but I would suggest checking out the trichomes with a jewellers loupe to be sure.

I personally only do a quasi flush for about a week and haven’t really noticed much of a difference to a longer flush. Three weeks seems like a really long flush that might negatively impact your plant growth. A lot of weight goes onto the buds in the final weeks and you want to be sure you don’t miss out on that opportunity. If they are nutrient starved too soon you may not get that growth.
 
It only happened to 1 out of the four photoperiod plants..

Usually the hairs change color and recede around 6 weeks for me and then I would flush for two and just chop, never liked the jewelry loupe. But since this purple punch hairs were completely recessed at 4 weeks and the buds are tiny, it threw me off.

im flushing for 3 weeks because the botanigard wp22 said to not use 3-4 weeks before harvest. Otherwise I would only flush for two or until they yellow.

Im worried the oils or root aphids triggered it early. If you got any root aphid advice for a closest tent grow I’m all ears lol. Been battling them for about a few months now and almost ready to kill every thing after this harvest because of them lol.
