New grower needing insight

[Pman Sticky Ikky]

Hi everyone,
So I have had a few "significant learning curve grows" before (major F-ups by any other term) but now I'm think I am starting to find my stride... Kinda...
I have a beautiful Frisian duck growing in a small greenhouse with a DWC setup & it seems to be doing quite well despite my lack of skill or experience & my area being really hot the past few weeks. I know the greenhouse is not 100% necessary for the grow. However this area has a helicopter flying peeping Tom issue around this time of year soooooooo...... It's a necessary hurdle I must have.

So the grow it self is going well but my concern at the moment is the lack of trichromes & the buds not fattening despite some hairs beginning to turn red. I'm wondering if the higher temps in the tent before I modified the fan have impeded the development of abundant trichomes...

The area where I am is still 12+ hours of day light though it is shaded from about 3:30-4:00 pm until night fall. I'm honestly not sure if I'm technically still veg'ing or not & the feminized plant just reached a point in the grow where flowers just started. Again, I'm a newbie. My other grows have all been indoor so this outdoor thing is a new one on me, & I haven't established what "normal" is for outdoor activities yet. The hairs changing has me worried that I may need to begin flushing soon but I don't want to too early because if the high temps have already setback trichrome production, I DEFINITELY done want to short the baby on nutes.

What does she look like to y'all?

Hi and welcome, sorry to hear about your previous mess ups but those plants look great, long into flower are they

Thanks!!!!! I am super impressed with the improvement of quality of this as compared to the hodgepodge cheap lights I was using on the early indoor grows. But I'm prepared for the next indoor crop with a dual veg/bloom 1200W LED. We'll see how that one does. I was testing it on a clone from this one but I think the clone got sick when I was super cropping & never recovered. So I pulled it to salvage the few pieces of popcorn it had.

Oh! Forgot to mention for those interested in Frisian duck, the green pheno I have has a really mild non-attention getting smell too. Only when you disturb it do you get a sweet pine smell & even then very mild for those seeking nose discretion. I like it so much I selected a little popcorn piece on the lower part of the big girl as a sacrificial pinch bud as a teaser until it's smoke:20 pm.

Hey Pman, beautiful grow.

Little micro update on Ms. Frisian duck. I'm super pleased so far! Despite the hiccups along the way there are several MONSTER buds (over a dozen) trich's starting to cloud up a bit & a very excited farmer sharpening the trimmers!
