This is completely normal, Auto-flowering strains start automatically making buds (flowering) when they're 3-4 weeks old.

Read that it could be a sudden change in light? If i remove my plants from the room to put amendments for approx. 20 mins would that cause it?

It could be sign of stress. Sometimes extreme temperature changes can cause this. Also can be just this specific seed. Each seed is a bit different and sometimes you can get a early bloomer.

remove lower side branches that are stretching outwards to focus on main cola?
some of the the lowest growth shoots started to stretch outwards (some stayed short).ideally I would prefer one nice long bud.should I remove them? (maybe 2 or 3 in total)or better to wait until 21 days flowering. probably should not defoliate for another week right? thanks!

Clueless sweet ZZ auto compost smell since week 6, now week 10
Sweet ZZ auto from RQS. Plant smelled great. Had aphid infestation month ago. Sweet smell changed to no smell/ compost smell. Washed aphids off with plain water. Every fan leaf died. turned yellow/ purple. Buds still fattening, but weird smell. Not ready for harvest & no bud rot.

Crunchy buds mid-flower
So my buds feel kinda hard and crunchy compared to my last grow. Are they just dense? And should I prune all the dead leaves? (RH is steady @45, as well as temp @78)

Tips to keep low humidity during flowering phase?
I need tips on keeping the humidity low inside the tent. We’ve got an air conditioning unit (placed outside of the tent) and a dehumidifier in the tent. The size of our tent is 5x5x6. Days where it’s raining with high humidity it’s harder to control humidity levels. Please help!

Looking for some advice on harvesting this girl
Just looking for some advice on harvesting really. Looking at the thrichs, I feel like harvesting now might be a bit early. I think she suffered badly from heat stress. if it were yours, would you cut your losses and move on? She's at about Day 64(ish) from seed.

Bud rot? Mold?
My plant is a bit problematic ("quick one" Auto from RQS, outdoor balcony grow). I'm a bit worried that I have to throw it out, therefore I would like to ask for your expert opinion. :) 1. Is the "brown stuff" on the top bud "bud-rot"? 2. Are the "more intense white spots" mold?

My plant is not getting me stoned
I kept testing my plants the last 7 days and i am quite disappointed. I am also checking the trichomes on the buds regularly and there are like 20% amber and 70%cloudy and like 10 clear trichomes. I thought of flushing the plants for another week and then cut it down...

My Girl's Gone Rogue with 10cm of Frosty Goodness!
My lady decided to shatter the whole "week 10 harvest" and instead shoot 10cm, packing new flowers whiter than a yeti's behind in a blizzard! This genetic curveball beats me. Do I let her keep this frosty stretch, or do I harvest and let this mutant masterpiece become a solo act

Timing of Flushing
Flushing: IF breeder states 9wk flowering, should I flush at 7 wks (from first visible flower) OR is the better method to check trichomes for a majority to be cloudy as the indicator to flush?

Bananas on top of 5 buds - week 5 of flower
Bananas appeared on 5 Chemdawg flower tops and were there up to 5 days. Should I be worried that GWS next to it may get seeds from this? Removed them but I'm scarred now they may have pollenated the same buds, or worse, the GWS next to it.
