Appreciate some advice on my first grow. Foxtailes?, weeks from harvest, general tips

[AlphaSnor]

Hey all, hope everyone is doing well. My first grow is coming to an end and i'm pretty happy with how it had been going so far. Now there are still some things im not sure about and maybe someone with more experience can tell me more.

First off some info:

Strain: Royal Dwarf Autoflower
Light: 100W spiderfarmer LED with some 23watt CFL and LED bulbs I had laying about.
Medium: Canna coco with perlite
Nutrients: All organic stuff. Tbh I just bought what I thought would work wel and got met the NPK I needed. I used wormcastings, bat guano, sea weed in powder form, some Epsom salts, egg shells, bone meal, banana peal tea and coffee grounds. Not all at the same time ofcourse Most of the time I dumped it on top of the medium and watered over it.
Training: A lot of LST and a little bit of defoliation.
Waterings: I didnt have a shedule, just watered when I felt it was needed.

Now I made one other tread awhile ago on tips on the nutrients and some questions about nutrient burn. So that is all good.
My main question is about possible lightburn and foxtailing. Now my LED board aint super powerfull, but in my little cosy weed cabinet the colas are just too close to the leds. Now im not sure if the problem is as bad as I think it is. I already put the light on about 60% but well, if the problem is negligible then I'd rather use more light since more light=more bud. I posted some fotos and It would be great if someone could look and them and tell me if i have indeed a light issue.

Second shorter question. How long do I have yet to go seeing the pictures. There are no amber trichomes and tbh the buds kinda look a bit airy. Atleast in person they seem 'airier' than on the pictures. My guess is I have 1 more week, max two weeks left to go and I hope they put on some weight. So, in what way will these buds change between now and two weeks from now.

Thanks in advance! Can't wait till I see the final results. I set my goal on 50 grams yet I have no clue if that is too optimistic or i'm blind as shit and a veteran can tell me its likely double that.

Anyway, Cheers!

If it's not genetics is that light so damn close

LED is far too close, a decent LED would bleach the fuck out of them

Definitely let em finish out, good ripening feed, don't starve them. All the density/mass happens at the end. Never set a hard date for chop, just wait until it actually is ripe and you will achieve maximum density.

Things that cause foxtailing are too much light, too much heat and too much nitrogen in late flower. Sometimes it's just a genetic trait. If the foxtailing happens where the light is strongest then it's probably light intensity and/or the heat.

Thanks for the reply! As i thought its probably the light. The temprature is a steady 23C and nitrogen should not be an issue. I hope setting the light to 50% will 'fix' the problem. Atleast to a point that is does not get worse.

And you said dont starve the, Ive read that normally people tend to just give ph'd water the last week or two weeks. For me two weeks is not needed since in dont nee to flush, but isnt it also to make the plant use all the nutrients left in the leaves?

Flushing is a myth. the proper way to handle ripening is with a feed that is reduced strength (PPM) and has low N, moderate P and high K. Not all nutrients are mobile like nitrogen and can't be pulled from the leaves during ripening to support production of resin and increased bud density.
