My plant takes 75 days from seedling to harvest. So does that mean it will flower to week 9.
How long until auto stops flowering

No. You could harvest in week 9, but you'll probably end up going to week 11 or 12. They advertise it as being shorter than it really is in many cases. If you go by that, you'll get some weak bud *USUALLY*.

Harvest by hairs or if you want to be more accurate, the trichomes.

It says 11 weeks though basically, so your saying week 8 should be it for flowering.

8 weeks would be very early. After week 8, they should really fatten and mature. Again, I would say weeks 10-12 are more likely for the best results.

Just nervous my plants are doing crazy good like other people have. It's my first grow so keep that in mind. 600 watt kingled, fox farm ocean soil, 2.5 gallon pots, and fox farm trio nutrients. She doesnt look terrible, just not as I hoped. Some people are cutting up on my lights, but I was on a budget. I did my research and got the best lights I could get for cheap. They arent bad lights apparently, just could have more power. I'm learning. I also had an insect problem which I think may have lead to some of the issue on the bottom branches having small tiny buds. I lost some leaves do to the bug. Lesson learned. I hope to get at the very least an ounce per plant. My second plant probably wont be an ounce though, hes quite retarded. The second plant had alot of issues with not busting the seed off. It took about a week to a week and a half to bust the seed off!!! Most likely a week. Then it didnt grow much until week 4. I killed two others through overwatering. nobody said this would be easy.

Yea, those lights are about 100w if I remember correctly, not great but will do the job. The small buds on lower branches are normal, they're referred to as popcorn buds and are used to make concentrates. If you have a plant that wont bust the cap, you can always take a pair of tweezers to it and just be super careful, but they normally come off with little to no resistance. Just remember to keep up on the P and K and not so much N and your buds should fatten nicely. The last two weeks are really the best time for bud fattening, so try really hard not to harvest early. Best of luck bud!

Auto times don't really count for much. I'm usually around 3 weeks longer than advertised.
The smaller ones tend to finish up quite quickly but anything large- xxl can be upto 120 days and theyre usually advertised as around 90 days.
