I flipped mine on 420 and they were ready when I flipped them.

This is another example of the knowledge that can be learned in a comp with everyone using the same seeds.
I think your plants were ready to flip sooner than most because you had a great veg.
Might be your super soil, your environment, your watering style or your special guano sauce.
More same seed comps will add to the understanding of what causes some growers to be able to flip sooner.

No special sauce, everything is in the super soil.

Yea I think it's just healthy plants on the veg side. Higher p feeds etc can curb stretch and initiate budding during flip from my understanding but actually maturity takes time and health. My other plants were very mature but all didnt set buds for awhile after flip and all at the same time. It was lower p then I'm used to using. This time I'm gonna use some maxibloom around week 1.5 to pump up the p then switch them over to a slightly higher k feed for the middle then towards the end cut back the phosphorus a bit more. Well see how it goes.

And I am re-using soil so there is some "living" micro-life going on, but not the full monty. I think leftover diluted nutes (organic) is there for good or bad. But I had two that reacted completely different to the same environment. The pheno within a same-strain comp makes a difference as well. I think the people that just did what they always do have the best shot.
I did early and late flipping - and the early one was the keeper (it's the pheno?). My solo top is not gonna "giant" like I hoped, but it's pretty. Way behind some others as far as ripeness (flipped 4/20). The gentle lighting may yet pay dividends. Plenty of time to plump-n-stack. It has a Detroit lean going on, so the angle of the pic will make the difference on the final entry.

421 for me
I flipped a month later than most of you (5/23) so my buds will just start to look nice when you guys are harvesting.

Update.
Trimmed fans only. Seems only tops get expressed. Looks like I lollipopped these plants.

Anyone else have this going on? I would guess its just a variegation being its only on a few leaves and not all over the plant.

That does look like a leaf variegation. I had a couple of them and documented one here:

I know we're mostly a bunch of stoners here, so here's some clues for the comp I have picked up. It is about one bud picture The best bud pics are usually from a few weeks before the plant is done. Flipping on 4/20 to try and harvest before the 'pic' deadline makes no sense - I am an idiot LOL...

Nice! I'll have to take a better picture once i get the plant out.
The stardawg male that we have been using the past few years. I still have the male.

Just finishing stretch and starting to bud. Cleaned up all the lowers and took like 10 main branches off each plant to open them up and take some cuts. Plants are healthiest ones in the room full praying with roots popping out the bottom of pots. Feeding flora flex salts.
