What week does an autoflower stop flowering? Week 9, week 10? How long until harvest as well, it says 75 days, but I often hear it takes a little longer.

Find a friend or relative that plays dungeons and dragons, and borrow a 1d20 dice. Roll said dice. If it isnt over 8, roll again. That many weeks plus two.
It's really hard to say though, it's a genetic lottery and every single bean you pop, even from the same pack can take dramatically different amounts of time. Autoflowers are even more difficult to guess at.

Could you guesstimate

No, I can not. I do not believe anyone will be able to tell you with any sort of accuracy.
How far in are you, what is your environment like, and do you have any clear images if you are late into flowering? Some of these questions and photos will let us hazard a guess.

You cant go by time..allnstrains are different..secondly..take notes from the time the seed starts to flower..not when it is dropped..
You need a jewellers loop (60x magnifying glass) to tell when you plants are ready..They're cheap $10 amazon..
Trichomes mature clear, cloudy in colour to amber..harvest when 5-20% amber.. early for more uplifting high..later for more couch lock
Good Luck

Stop counting in weeks and begin to observe your plant. You want mature plant with rippen buds. Do not be noobish and do not harvest early because somebody writes somewhere that it will be in 9 weeks. He lies and you would be crazy to believe him.

My autos have all been 90-110 days from seed. That said, ive seen them ready at 70 days and ive seen them ready at 140 days. Theres one guy on here that grows 8 foot tall autos its insane.

It depends on the strain and also the growing environment. You can't always go by the breeder's description that's for sure. I have a Pineapple Express Auto growing right now that, according to the breeder, should ripen in about 9 weeks from seed. It's over 13 weeks and just now finishing.

It's all in the genes..Check out this Super Auto...
Right now I'm crossing a NL Auto x Genesis Auto (My own creation)
Flys counter to almost anything most people think of Autos..Started flowering around 5-6 weeks and is super vigorous..
who says you cant grow outdoor cannabis in central Canada
AND..what makes it more interesting it has been grown entirely outdoor in a 1 gal pot..I would think it would be even bigger had it been in a larger pot..

I'm waiting atleast until all hair are orange. This wont be a high yield grow... prob an ounce if not less. First time growing... next grow I will do better and use a jeweler's loop.

When all your hairs turn orange, then its time to get the scope out and check trichs.Orange hairs are not the most effective way to determine harvest..focus on the colour of the trichomes..

I agree with both. Wait until “all” (not really all but damn near) then I scope and make my call from there. However I prefer couch lock because I’m kinda high strung

Pretty good indicator is to take what breeder says is time from seed to finished bud and add 3 weeks to it. But some might take more and some a bit less than extra 3 weeks.
As a general rule if you chop down when the breeder says, it has not gone through the last fattening phases and you will yield much less.

Everyone has good points. This discussion could continue forever.
Once you grow for long enough, there comes a point where you just know when a plant is done. Some strains, I've had two seeds finish 2-3 weeks apart from each other. So many different variables to consider, you just never know. Even in a completely DIALED in environment, you can still have your occasional odd ball.
