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.

We're thinking about harvesting next week, but we would like to know your opinion regarding the trichomes and the size of the buds and we would also like to know if the size of the buds will still increase.

Bud density
If anyone could give me some advice on the best way to maximize bud density I'd really appreciate it. Does it come down to many factors or is there one thing I can improve that will guarantee dense buds?

So the majority of the pistils have turned red. The trichomes have turned cloudy but I’m not seeing any swelling in the calyxes. Also I’m seeing some foxtailing going on with new white pistils developing on the top. Is it ready for harvest?

Bananas
I didn't pay attention and she grew with an extreme amount of light for 2 weeks . banana started to appear and she's flowering weirdly. I think there are 6 bananas in total and I don't think is gonna be enough to impollinate all the bud sites . Am I correct? What would you do

Flowering stage
I have not seen much change in the plants in the last two weeks. No growth. I know I have entered the flowering stage but I don't know what to do next in terms of lighting. Should I go from 18 hours of light a day to 12 hours? I have the option to only turn on the red lights.

Autos - pistil colour, timing, and bud expectations
One of my autos is seeing a lot of pistil colouration already. I am in approx week 4 of bloom. Can I expect more bud growth, new pistils, or is this a sign that this is more or less as big as we're gonna get? I know with photos pistils can appear in waves as buds fatten. TIA

Just about finishing week six, Are my buds supposed to fatten up during weeks 7 and 8? Or am I looking at about as much flower as I can hope for? Latest pics are in my grow but I’ll add some here for convenience

Anyone have experience with a autoflower that didn't auto? This thing is a freak and is photoperiod. It looks like a sativa, is it worth growing it out? Or trash it? It's got one hell of a gas odor. But it's very larfy. Trash or keep it?

Strange growth on bud tops
This plant is taking a lot longer than it's supposed to to mature and now it's throwing strange tops on the bud. It has a pretty bad cal mag deficiency, is this why the buds won't finish and are doing weird things?

Plentiful Sites but Micro Buds
Maybe it's too early but I'm halfway into week 9 and my bud sites are plentiful but seem small. Been checking as most strains of the seeds I bought are 10-12 weeks. Should I not be concerned. I mean my autos are twice the size of most it seems but smaller sites and size. Thx.
