GG4 Ready After 5 Weeks?

Hey everyone! I ordered some feminized, not auto-flower, GG4 seeds from ILGM and so far, they've been growing well. (organic super soil) Although they did stall out for about 2 weeks after transplant. It's 5 weeks into flower and I noticed a lot of orange pistils on 4 of my 5 plants. Almost all the trichomes on those plants are milky and the leaves are turning yellow and dying off.

I was expecting at least 3 more weeks before I got to this stage. I left them in veg for at least 6 weeks, probably 7. Did I get auto-flower seeds? (now that I'm typing this, they did seem to get into "flower mode" pretty fast...)

Might want to do a really good check for pollen coming from a hermaphrodite source as Glue is known for throwing them occasionally and browning pistils at this point makes me wonder if pollination occurred possibly. Those have weeks to go before they're ready. Don't chop based on trichomes as your main focus or you'll leave a lot of yield on the table. Do some reading on when to chop and look for the plants calyxes to really swell up. Branches should be bending down from the added weight they gain in the final two weeks. Pistils should be brown and look like they're shrinking into the bud as it swells.
