Bud swelling technique. Great lighting, great environment, not to much food, growing experience. The 4 do's for nice big bud. Nothing else works.

Discoloration progressing from old fan to colas, is this a concern/requires action?
I have some discoloration happening to OB5,more pics in week 6. Started first on few old fan leaves with yellow & brown/purple patches and now is occurring to the several of the colas and is spreading to more fan leaves. Water pH may have been in the 5-6 range last week. HlpPlz

No pistils- she is an odd duck
This is a Sour Diesel Autoflower-(Homegrown Cannabis Company seed) she has been odd from the start. I am in the 9th week of flower. Why does she not have any pistils. Shit ton of sugar leaves...I am assuming there is a lot of bud underneath. Why do you guys think?

Bud rot starting?
Is this bud starting to rot? I’m seeing some yellow spots start to form on the buds. This is last week of flower. I just noticed yesterday but doesn’t seem worse today.

Weird growth by bud sites/pistils
I have some weird leaf/pistil things growing on some areas. See this image here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/61752-bubba-kush-totemic-grow-journal-by-live-canna#gallery=2942993 looks like a banana/leaf/pistil thing. I don't think it is bananas already as it is only half way.

How to tell when buds are dry and it's time to start curing?
When drying how do you tell when it's time to start curing, ik from what I've read says the stem needs to snap, the outside of some of the buds feel dry but the stem isn't snapping it bends like it is almost going to snap. Is it safe to start curing? Been drying for 4-5 day's.

Should we defoliate?
This girl is almost week 4 of flower and is getting real bushy. Have some of the pistils become damaged by the leaves and should we defoliate?

Will the buds grow more? Day 55
Wondering if I stunted my plants or will the the buds grow and still have a chance of being thick. First time grower so I’m a little paranoid that I stunted these autos from all the shock

Just stunted? Or will I lose whole grow?
5 weeks into flower, 3 to go. Autoflower grown in soil. Kept in outside shed, with 400w HPS and electric heater. Struggling to keep temps up above 10°c. It's not killing it, but perhaps stunting growth. A hardy strain. Will it still convert THC or am I risking losing whole plant?

When harvest?
Hiya. These pics from 1 of 2 plants that flowered early due to stress (I think). I vegged the 4 Matanuskas in garage and there were some cold nights. Not sure which week I’m in. When do I harvest? Still feed nutes? Wait til I see an amber trichome or two?

Test after dry
How does this look? I hope good as I took half of plant off this morning. How long to let the bottom continue growing? I suppose until it is ready. Can the top half be test consumed after drying period? I'm thinking 5 to 7 days.
