Spraying anything on it? Some IPM stuff causes pistils to brown prematurely

Its a sign that your buds are starting to mature. You are getting to the final stage just before harvest.

What happens is as the buds mature the pistils turn brown or orange, usually when 80% of the hairs have turned colour is a good indicator that its nearly ready. Yours are some way off.

Nitrogen Toxicity/Abundance, I believe is my problem. As suggested by BluntZilla in my other question it could be lacking P and K as well. Here are pictures under normal lighting in hopes that someone can help out.

Flowering lady not swelling?
I honestly am not sure the exact week of flower she’s in. Definitely 3 or more. She’s not looking nearly as fast as my others are. Not seeing any bulking yet and some of the leaves lowers middle and upper are yellowing then turning completely brown and falling off. Thoughts?

Foxtails on my Lemon Haze Auto
Lemon haze's use to foxtail ? It's an autoflower from Eurogrow granel Seeds (maybe not the most consistent genetics as It woths 1 to 3 euros/Seed) Let me know your past experiences ! Much love

Has this plant gone Hermie on me?
So I've made lots of errors on this first grow, including cutting in to autos at the wrong time. One plant seems to be budding better than the other, has this second plant gone Hermie on me?

Do auto’s normally get this big?
I’m currently cultivating “Royal Kush” by Royal Queen Seeds and I’m into the 3rd week of flowering. It’s supposed to be an 11 week plant. Do they normally get this big?

Slow bud development?
I’m now on day 58 and she seems to have frozen on bud development. I’m unsure if this is down to needing a water with plain water As I’ve got some yellow tips or if my light just isn’t good enough for her to develop properly. Thanks and happy growing!

Im having some droopy leaves on my super skunk toward the top of the plant. I'm pretty sure it's not over watering, I cut the volume back and it's been a day and a half and they're still drooping. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Also, the buds haven't grown really at all.

Help needed - harvest time?
Hi, I'm now in week 12 and I feel that after the flush my 2 vertigo stopped developing. They also have a lot of leaves with some mag issues. Not all the pistols are amber (70%). Also, the trichomes are not all cloudy. I'm not sure but I think I don't see changes anymore.
