Any chance my plant may just want to finish early?

This is my 3rd grow, first with strawberry cough. I am using FF-OF, with added perilite. I havent given any N through out the life of the plant, just relied on the soil to provide it all. I have been using, liquid koolbloom, with diluted GH micro and bloom. Currently the plant is at week 5 of flowering and it is looking like it wants to harvest in a week. It is showing mostly cloudy trichomes, 1/2 the pistils have died back, the leaves are dropping fast, and the calyxes are swollen. I went hard with the bloom nutes off the bat and she had little buds 1 week into flower. I want to say she is almost done, but I know SC usually is a 8-9 week plant. Any advice?

They look great dude. I agree with ya I think their almOst done. I'd flush them if you haven't already and give them one more week and cut them down. I see a bunch of clear trichs that's why I'd give them another week. All in all looks real nice and your gonna have some quality smoke. Nice job

So, I figured out what the problem was on the next grow I did. The plant that has pics in this thread was harvested after 6 weeks of flower. It was frigging bomb... Complete mind fu@k high. No body at all, but was great for blazin' up and cleaning the house. I only got about 1.3 oz off it, but was a good first soil grow. This grow I started to see the same look on the leaves and decided I would try and re-pot it. Mind you this is 3 weeks into flower. I re-potted the girls and the leaves stopped dieing off, the buds exploded with growth, and I am now about a week and half to harvest. I expect at least 3oz of some even better bud than last time with being able to flower the full 8 weeks. Peace. I gave the oldest stoner I know a taste tester nug of the first plant to sample, next time he saw me he literally ran up to me askin to get more. I think it passes... :thumbsup: :stoned:
