In the flower stretch phase on both autoflowers. The first question is what are the little “balls” at each node of the plant? Second question I’ve got is why are the “hairs” on the buds turning brown. It’s not happening on all the buds, just some on different areas of the plant.
Calyx
Not an autoflower guy but it happens nothing to worry about. Just to make sure I’ll tag @dbrn32 and @PurpNGold74
Trichomes
Plants look good , nothing to worry about that would all be normal.
Those are the female parts of the plant, if it were a male plant that area would look different.
This is the normal progression of the plant, as the buds swell and ripen the white hairs sticking out will turn amber and curl up
I agree, things look pretty normal here.
Pistils are the hairs. The little gel (thc) filled mushroom head looking clear sticky things are the trichomes. ![]()
When the stigmas start turning orange you’re getting close, probably 2 weeks.
They look good to me, maybe a little on the leggy side. A bit more light intensity earlier on should help manage that.
Ok. Are you saying they look like they only I’ve 2 more weeks before harvest? I sure hope they go longer than that as the buds do not seem very big yet.
That’s a rough estimate, you should go by the trichomes to determine when to harvest.
More light intensity will help your bud size and density as well. Light is the most critical factor for your grow, and in my opinion a light meter is not an optional piece of equipment.
Correction
Fuzzy wuzzy Trichomes on them Calyx, are cloudy and some are colored. Mostly Amber but can be other colors like purple.

Funny dude
In your photo, did that calyx have a seed? My gut yelled seed. I’ve been plucking seeds all week. I’m in autopilot now…. Or maybe I am just high.
Looks like a seed👀??

Looks like one to me too. Good eye!
Durban poison x strawberry cough f2. Brother met sister of f1. So technically f1,S1. Easier to say f2.
All off a 12” clone, flowered, pollinated, then reveged.![]()
Just topped and plucked this week.
All from 12” keeper clones. Boys and girls. Boys for 6 seasons; girls 13 seasons (jilly bean and Durban).
All fresh seeds this week. 1/3 plants seed harvested.
Next up tonight to pluck seeds is strawberry starburst x jillybean S1 male.
12” clone flower, pollen reveg. That’s not PM it’s still covered in pollen. Once the pollinated I put them back to 20on. Done this for YEars and make fresh seeds every year.
