Hello everybody! I am here again, looking for some wisdom, I am really lost, I do not know if we are OK or Bad. I need some help.

A lot of time since I posted this thread https://www.autoflower.org/threads/help-light-green-spots-on-the-leaves.68658/, I am now at week 11-12 from seed.

I have gone through many things, many of problems because my plant has decide to grow A LOT, I think it happened because of the size of the cointainer (6Gallons). I was specting a short plant, but it have grow more than my grow tent can handle, becase of that, at week 7-8 I was forced to cut the main cola and had to "train" the others branch with wires or would have grown a lot.

However, after weeks of maneuvering to contain the height she FINALLY stop vertical growing and started the bloom. Now at week 11 + 4 days, I am not sure where I am. There are some nice buds, but another branchs are still green like week 9, I think may be can be lack of light (they were covered by other branch or just grow too much and are over the LED), or stress from my "training", I dont know even if its normal. Today I decided to cut a couple of branch that has those "too little too green" buds, my logic was that those branch are just wasting energy.

Now, this post are made because I have A LOT of questions:

1) I remove some leaves daily that fell and are dry, is this normal? I think it is normal, and has happend since 2 weeks.

2) Does she looks ok? I saw a lot of plants photos and I think some of the buds are quite thin, it is normal? Its me? Or may be its a consecuence of the stress I put over my girl.

3) When can I harvest? Now only around 20% - 25% of pistils are orange, but I dont know if I have to be guided by the pistils, the trichomes, or the weeks.

Anyway, this week I stopped nutes, and I am only filling with ph water, I plan to do this for 1 or 2 more week.

There are some pics of some buds and tricomas... ANY comment would help! Thanks in advance! And sorry if I made grammar mistakes, I am still learning english :)

Also I thought that it would take me 8-9 weeks, and I'm going through 11 D:
 
Can you get pics of the trichomes in normal light? And magnified maybe?

Is she in soil? I would keep feeding her. She needs at least 2 weeks.
 
She is an auto ak47 in Hydroponic DWC + TOP FEED DRIP.

Another 2 weeks of food and then another 2 of flush? ... 4 or 5 weeks more? hmm it means 16 weeks total ! Doesn't you think that is too much?

Now She is only with Ph water, thats what schedule say (week 11 & 12 just ph water)
 
I would keep nutrients going full force. Keep looking at the trichomes. When they start to go 20% amber, flush. You only need to flush for 48 hours in DWC. I highly recommend AN Flawless finish.

Don’t pay attention to the weeks.
 
Ok, I dont know if they call it flush or what but people say just ph water and plant will use his storage energy, and leaves will start to turn yellow and buds will get better taste.

But if you say me that I can keep feeding it without any drawback in taste - odor I will do that.
 
@Primeminister420 I do what I can with my camera, sorry but I do not have a special magnifying glass. Hope it helps

@themadking A picture of the plant from back a bit would help but those are not ready yet. Most of the trichomes look clear to me and the pistils are still white. Most of the bud weight will come on in the next few weeks. Don't rush it. Don't pay any attention to breeder or any other schedule! Grow the plant in front of you.
 
This is my rule of thumb. If a breeder says 70 days I figure 80 to 85 before I'm ready to start looking for a ripe fruit.
The numbers stated by breeders are absolute "best circumstances" to get to the point of early side of ripe.
My runs seem to always be 2 to 3 weeks longer than the suggested times.
Depending on your environment, medium, etc, & your preferred ripeness, your times will vary some too.

When you think your done, go 2 more weeks.
An old timer told me that a long time ago, it works.
