If I pluck a bud off to start a quick dry and a taste test will that harm the plant on the overall health of the plant?

You can do it and the plant will not be harmed by that . Ps : many growers are doing that to try a weed before harvest

No it will not harm it. You may still taste the nutes in it and bear in mind you'll still have to dry it which will take 5-7 days and it won't have the cured flavour. 👍🌱

Should I remove the brown spots on the Buds? What are they? (Maybe from overfeeding?)

Reddish brown pistils, end of week 3 of flower.
Pistils turning reddish brown and curling. Day 20 of flower. Female seeds. No sign of hermie. Only new addition to schedule was calmag which was added at half the recommended dose. Everything else looks and measures fine. Wind or nutrient burn?

Auto flower ready for flush and harvest signs
How long before I need to flush this autoflower and how long before she finishes. We are at the end of week 9. Packing states 10 weeks to harvest but they look further away. Any signs to indicate flush time? I am feeding biobizz nutes.

Trich's / Buds look ready to flush/harvest?
Do these trich's look mature enough to start a 5 day flush? Strain is a 55% sativa 45% indica autoflower. Breeder stated total time was 10 weeks, we're at day 80 today but thats not uncommon. I'm seeing 70% cloudy 30% clear a but wouldn't mind a set of more experienced eyes.

Nutrients and Defoliation
How does she look, any nutrient changes needed? Just starting flowing stage. I have read mixed reviews, Some say remove all large leaves others keep them, some lollipop. Looking for big buds, What diary and weeks to look at to show a good example of what you prefer.
