Crazy new growth 9th week of flower

Ok so I don't know if this is normal....but it's an auto flower (freebie with order) and my first auto...so I just reached the 9th week and I'm not expecting to much because she has been threw hell and back ND I guess I never realized actually how different autos are from photos....

So questions...

I'm wondering when I harvest should I probably harvest what's ready and see what this turns out to? And I know autos can be tempermental, do you think it would stress out to bad if I did harvest like that? And can ALL plants do this? Or is it wierd to see autos doing this? ( thanks in advanced)

And I mean it's hard to tell by the picture because of lighting butttt it's covered in trichomes, all the way down the stems...and only 3 sets of leaves and suuuppper healthy compared to the rest...1 of them is over 8 inches and the other is under one of the side branches like growing into it.. this all happened in 3 days as well...pics 1-3 are the 8 incher and the last is the one growing on the side,of the side branch

What are you asking? It's growing , why is that not normal to you? You still got 4 to 6 weeks left.

Because it's almost done I know I don't have that much longer with 95% of the plant just those 2 branches come out of nowhere literally were not there whatsoever 3 days ago...all my buds are swelling and this grew...

When the rest are done can I harvest those and grow out those with an auto?

It's not a 14-16 week plant....breeder says 8 so I am assuming 10-11 and it's right on track to do that. .except for those 2 branches...new growth late in flower

That plant is nowhere near done, like mr sunshine says, around 4-6 weeks at least.

I believe he's saying that those branches in the pics are at the bottom of his plant? The growth was unexpected and different from the growth on the top part of his plant

Yea lol I had to reread what I posted and yea it's the bottom, and very different...1 leaf set and 3 leaf set....

And to everyone that's saying 4-6 more weeks... I get that's how long for those pictures....but the rest of the plant is just about there...the main question is it OK to harvest what's ready and wait for those to finish (it's an auto so I didn't know if that's weird for 8 inches of a side branch with multiple pistils to grow out from the bottom in 3 days) I didn't know if it was going to stress it out because how everyone says not to cut autos (my first auto)(not my 1st grow)

You can do a staggered harvest and it'll be ok

Do it, whats the worst that can happen

i thought like that before and to be honest it just doesn;t work its more wasted time being you cut half the plant to pieces ,,, plant goes into survival mode not trying to finish off the last remaining larf under developed buds but in fact repairing it self from them sharp scissors lol and to the op got a full plant pic gotta see this

I've done it before and didn't have any bad effect. To me it's no different than picking tomatoes when they're ready or peppers.

Yeah but picking tomatoes and chopping buds off are 2 different things just sayin from what i seen as i tried it

Different gardens different growers I suppose.

But I definitely see where you're coming from.
