Autoflower ready after only 19 days in flower???

[Calabresej9021]

theres no way this should be ready yet in just under 3 weeks. Strain is Green crack from PacificSeedBank. Yes I realize the plant is tiny, but it's been developing just like a regular plant. No growth issues within the plant itself from seed to now. Autoflower feminized.

hey Calabrese, no she has a long way to go(another month give or take) lots of white pistils from what i can see. Check out the When do I harvest section of GWE. Lots of info and Pics of what to look for. Those buds will fatten up a Lot more in the next few weeks. These are my three autos after about 30 days after i asked the same question here and anyone that replied said to wait(im so glad i did) lol... i just cut,trimmed and hung all three to dry last night!! patience...homegrown

Maybe the pictures didn't do it justice. The low/middle buds are looking at minimum 50% brown hairs. Some buds closer to the top are at 70% brown! I even borrowed my neighbors jeweler scope to get a look at the trichomes and they look exactly like the pictures that say it's ready on the GWE When to Harvest page. Again why I am extremely puzzled.
I am having my veteran gardener uncle come look at it this weekend. He will definitely be able to tell me how much time is left. I'll share his response here as well for anyone who is still following this post. Thanks!!

OK take it out of tent into natural light we'd like to see it that way.

If you are touching the buds- then they will turn brown pre-maturely, as well as, LED light stress.

Here are today's pictures. 20 days into flowering.
temps: soil 77°, air 86°. Moved the lights up to 16in from tallest cola. You'll see the single cola pictures are of the tallest. Yet it has less yellowing tips than the lower two cola.
Hopefully the pictures come in clear enough to see, the top buds pistils are 70% brown and the lower two buds are about 50%.
