Autoflower gone wild. Hitting the max height

Thoughts on if these 2 smaller plants are ready for harvest?

Note the bud on these 2 smaller plants seems dry when I touch it. When I tried to find amber trichomes, I only found a couple. There is still white hairs on the larger of these 2 plants. The smaller 1 doesn't appear to have white hairs but the leaves are still green.

I just harvested those 2 little plants today. So I guess I gave it the ol 2 weeks wait. I could see the buds turning purple btw. Based on my estimates, I got 2 ounces dry weight from each small plant.

Now onto the next few. Thoughts on how far along these are? Also the largest plant never really stood up for itself after a while. Massive colas. Massive. Are they ready? Thoughts?

Should I give them two weeks?

Keep in mind I always struggle with humidity. It's just near impossible to control despite a quality large humidifier. The outdoor weather is wet and cold and this influences it.

I can't seem to get humidity below 50%

I always get some level of bud rot. Sometimes a lot, sometimes a little. This time I've been lucky and vigilant and only have a little. A little which I promptly cut off. I am keen to harvest early if it saves some of the FAT juicy colas from bud rot.

At this stage I'm thinking to wait 1 week. My microscope is kinda dogshit. A new one on the way but I can't really get tricome photos currently.

In other news, my new seeds for next grow have safely arrived.

I just harvested another small plant today. I'm estimating 2 ounce per small plant. Probably less and closer to 1.5 if I am honest.

I found the small plant I harvested today was starting to produce seeds! I must have left it too long. When I checked tricomes there was a lot of amber there. More mature then any plant I have ever harvested, oops.

Pictures of the last two plants attached. As you see some white hairs there. I wonder if I should give them the ol two weeks! Haha

Any advice or opinions appreciated.

Surprising for me. I got 2.9 ounces from the Organge punch. Beating my estimate of 2 ounces.

The smallest one. I suspect is wedding cake. I got 1.9 ounces.

The 2 largest plants are giving some of my best yeilds yet. They are drying now. I found very immature seeds starting on one of them. And more mature but not ready seeds on the largest. Not sure if left too long, they got pollinated or became stressed and turned male at some point.

I also lost around 8 grams to bud rot. This on the largest cola on the biggest plant. Disappointing but also was about the only bud rot I got so I will count myself lucky.

End result here was 2 over two pounds. 33 ounces total. I am very happy with that. It's my biggest harvest.

In the end I did overdry the vast majority of it to around 55% humidity. I am using boveda 62% packs and storing in mason jars for the time being. Hopefully humidity can come up a bit.

Regardless I am super happy with this end result for 6 plants total with 2 of those being monster plants.

9 ounces total amongst the 4 smaller plants.
15 ounces monster plant at back
9 ounces for the other monster plant in the middle.

Below is the details on my grow. I just have six in the tent. Although I have pots for 8. Also I never even bothered activate the autopot system and just hand watering twice a day currently. I am scared of leaks so this helps ease my mind.

Some of them are starting to flower while others still in veg. Is it ok to feed them all some nutrients for flowering /bloom?

1 of them is approaching the max height and growing into the light which then burns the top leaves. Unsure what I should do with that plant? I have a SOG net, maybe could try that? Maybe fold it a bit? How much trimming required there do you think? It looks like its just starting to go into flower.

FYI: there is a 1-2 week gap between several plants so they are not all same stage.
