I am presently growing a beautiful trainwreck... what would you like to know? 
Welcome March, I haven't seen a problem that someone here hasn't at least given a big effort to fix. What are some details? Like Is it in soil? What are you feeding? What light are you using? Temps RH? Are you checking PH? How about some pics?

That does not look like a problem... it looks like a beautiful bud. What are you seeing that I have missed here?

when did you consider that you started the bloom period? How long has it gone? It looks to be close to the end, but not quite. Is this an auto or a photo?

This is an auotflower. 8 weeks in. I started a Candy Cane the same time and its finished. I never seen a plant like this. My first time growing this strain. The branches are full but not good packed buds. The pistils are not open. The branches are full of pistils. My other plants flower with cotton ball type flowers.

That's good. Not really sure it's a problem. I might be over reacting to a new strain.

I am guessing that she is still some ways from the end, and I can see that you have done a good job with her. Congratulations! Usually the mistake made is either not realizing when the flowering period actually started, because it doesn't start on the date of the flip, or with autos, people misunderstand the bloom time as the total time the plant is alive.
Your last message came in as I was typing this, so now I know it is an auto. Have you been able to look at the trichomes?

So an autoflower 8 weeks old started out in the veg mode, and stayed there for around 4 weeks. At some point she autoswitched to flower mode and started throwing out pistils from the growth tips instead of new leaves. That was the beginning of bloom. If this is an 8 week blooming plant, you still have 3-4 weeks to go.

PH is around 6 plus or minus. I'm using coco coir. PH Perfect nutrients. Temps between 24 and 28. LED lights. Started to flower around January 1st. RODI water. I flush every week or so. 18 and 6 light cycle. Filtered air. I read her a bed time story every night. Lol. I'm also growing 2 Green Crack they are coming along great.

Yes. The trichomes are 50% clear and 50% milky with a few amber on a few branches. I think the amber trichomes are due to the plant touching the side on the tent. I've never seen a plant full of flower from top to bottom. I'm going on a vacation in 5 days for a week. Should I wait until I return?

I am convinced that you have at least a week to go, probably closer to 3. If you have someone to water her while you are gone, you are good to go.
You might be right. Emilye is taking good care. You grew a beautiful plant there.

Yes I have someone to water whil I'm gone. My main concern was the pistils haven't opened up only the tops of a few colas. I dont want something to go wrong and the damn thing hermaphrodite on me because my two grow tents are on the same air. The plant itself is full of sugar. Thanks for your help

not sure what you mean about the pistils opening up... some plants express their flowers differently than others. Give her time... she is still in early to mid flower. Toss us a picture when you get back so we can see the difference. I predict that you will be very pleased with what you see.
