So some of these pics are of my auto flower and its starting to show amber hairs now. Question,, do auto flowers go through there cycles faster. My plan is to still wait tell about the the 10th week but I've been told not to wait to long as well. I guess that when the buds are at about 50 to 70% amber is when I should pull them . Any thoughts or suggestions guys

Amber is normally used to describe trichs, not pistils. It won't be done (you have many weeks to go), until all the white pistils are shriveled back into the calyxes and they have turned redish brown. Depending on your preference (less amber=more energetic high, more amber=more couch lock), you want 5-25% of the trichs on the caylxes (not the sugar leaves) to be amber.

I'm not planning on pulling it until at least the 10 or 11 week so that's about 4 or 5 weeks away. I was just wanting to get axfew opinions on the progress. I noticed the first white pistals on February 4 so I know I've got a little ways to go.

You get brown when you burn the plant with your light.as long as the little white hairs are not recided and started rotting brown you got time

My light is a out 20 inches above the tallest part of the plant, I also have a line going from my ac vent of the house into my closet and one fan pushing air in and one upper fan pushing warm air our I keep it around 75 to 85 degrees .

If you're talking about the hairs and not the trichomes, I would wait until they're 100% brown. Trichomes you really need a magnifier or a good zoom on your camera to see if they're amber or not
