Correct, wait until 90-95% brown pistils/hairs. Having the light above the plants would speed things up, although that may be impossible. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Don't worry they will soon bulk up. When you have 80 to 90% brown hairs it's time for the flush. Would say your a bit off that.

Is there anything I could do to make the buds fatter? Should I prune more leaves? Also, based on the last pics posted, do you think they might have a nitrogen excess? Thanks!!

No bud mass but some lower white hairs already turning orange?
white hairs lower on the plant are already turning orange. No bud mass. Some rusty-brownish markings on lower leaves probably from too low ph water when my ph tester lost calibration. No hermi/sac signs.only been nute-fed 2 times total, with 1/4 rec’d amount. UnderH2O’d maybe?

Earliest possible harvest?
How long do you reckon these are going to take? I am talking harves on the early side. Most buds look like this, only the main cola is taking longer. At this moment about 25% pistils are curled and trichomes seem rather milky. First grow, no experience here. Will they get bigger?

I don't have a PH meter, just some test strips. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive meter I can get in the UK? There's a bit of yellowing on some leaves (see my diary entry on week 8) Buds seem to be developing a bit slow Should I switch from 24 hr to 20/4 or 18/6 ?

Advice on how grow is going.
Thought I'd ask more experienced growers if I'm doing well so far?Not sure if the size of budlets are good for week two?I don't pH any of my nutes, my ph pen broke last round,so I'm happy that I don't have any visible lockouts so far! Any advice or views from expirenced growers?

General concerns about the plant health and expectations from her.
Will nute burn have a big affect on my final yield? Are my buds likely to increase much in size? Leaves discolouring normal at this stage? Does she look likely to produce just popcorn bud at this point? Can I do anything about it? Also not many leaves on the plant?

Smaller buds
How are my girls coming along? Do the smaller purple buds underneath need to be getting more light or will they fatten up? It really smells amazing I haven't smelled anything like it before tbh I can't wait to sample in a few weeks :)

Autoflower Yield "Tell-All" at Day 50?
Despite fimming, topping, & numerous HEAVY defoliations (only few days between lashings) into week 6, she's still vivacious. Week 6, I sat her back in the chair. Will she bulk up soon, or is there a Auto "tell-all" on day 50 with final yield? 10-14 week strain. Stretch over.

Denser, heavier buds
My last 2 DWC grows came out great tasting but I would like to get my buds denser and heavier. Im keeping up on defoliation this go around to increase light and airflow to bud sights. But can I be doing more? Any suggestions that would work for DWC? Im on flower day 20
