Autoflower week 10 need help. Pics

Yo what's up this plant is 2 days in to week 10 and I'm kind of concerned that these buds are really under developed for this late. I'm using cfls and I know that they don't produce the biggest buds but I feel that they should be bigger. The seed company says 65-75 days from seed to harvest and I was going to take it down Sunday. I haven't really see much bud development between last week and so far this week other then most of the hairs on the lower part of the plant have turned orange or are turning orange and some of the hairs on the top half are turning orange and for a little bit more crystal production. I was hoping for and ounce off this plant but that now is looking like it might not be. Im using promix, general organics go box, 2 105 actual watt cfls, the temps are about 75. I want to know what you guys think because I was just going to chop it down Sunday. Please leave and estimate on how much you think I might be able to get.

you have lots of time 3+ weeks still the majority of the pistils are still white. Strains/ plants rarely finish as fast as the breeders claim. Wait till the third set/ push of pistils turn red/orange/brown and the caylexs fold up against the buds. When this happens the buds will we swollen and hard the buds will be spongy when pinched until they are ready.

Alright thanks and I have another question would it be alright if I took off some bottom branches and leaves they just aren't getting any light or would that stress the plant.

You don't have enough light on her! that is your only problem here, 2 CFL's will not suffice! your plant is so stretched that all the work is going into the top buds you are going to have half of that plant with little popcorn nugs

Yeah I know I wasn't expecting it to get that big. when it went into flowering it just got fucking monstrous, and I didn't want to super crop or lst because your not suppose to fuck with autoflowers so I had to just kept it. Also I don't want to buy more lights because Im going to set up a different grow next and I don't want to waste anymore money on this plant. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to supercrop the main branch

To begin with the best way to tell when your plant is ready is to look at the trichs. Secondly in my opinion you simply don't have enogh light. One actual 105 watt cfl isn't enough to produce big buds. With respect to how much you'll get I couldn't say, but I do hope that whatever you get is kick ass bud. I use to grow with cfl'sand had 700 actual watts. Problem was I had fucking cords and power strips everywhere, But with that amount of light I wouls net about an oz a plant growing 3 plants in 5 gal smart pots. Now I use a tent and a 400 watt dual MH/hps and get about an oz and i/2 from4 plants in 3 gal smart pots. And not meaning to be a braggart it's always killer bud. Good luck to you.

ps I forgot your plant is an autoflower. When I grow autoflowers I keep my light on 24/7.

you're still on the first push
you have alot more time/swelling left 4 + weeks possibly under watted plants take alot longer to finish

ye lol for most of my grow i used 2 t8 tubes i only recently got t5 lightwaves and 1 week in def noticing improvement

its too late to supercrop and LST you want to do those during veg to determine the plants structure as it stretches going in to flower. But defiantly LST autos esp. with floro lights if the plant was flat topped all your colas could look like your current top. and as others have said more light if at all possible
