How many weeks does an auto flower actually flower for? Same as the same strain that’s not an auto version
Go by your trichomes under magnification. I grow by feel and I know what I want my buds to look like. But if you use a loupe under 60-90x u will see them. Depending on the high u want will determine when to harvest. The more clear they are the more of a head high. The more amber trichs will be more of a couch lock, hope this helped and welcome. Lots of knowlege on this forum. Here is something that might help as well best of luck.

InFlower 8-10 weeks, maybe more. Its depends envoierment, medium, light etc…
There’s no way to tell, every strain, every plant is different.

I don’t have a microscope yet still waiting . They started pre flowering exactly a month ago, but already like 30% of the white hairs are orange and autos don’t give much weight from what I understand… so it’s mango and I’ve read 9-11 weeks for the regular mango not the auto so do autos generally take same amount as the non autos
Ya I was gonna shoot for 8-9 weeks and signs of first leaves dying, if my microscope doesn’t arrive in a month I’m cutting on the 9 week mark Nov 20th says 9 to 11 weeks on Leafly and I got a whole month so we shall see if there’s buds plump up more the next four weeks more than they did the first 5 weeks , I hope that’s the case cause it don’t look like much right now,
can you upload a photo?

I saw many autos trichombs dont go amber. But maybe its not go all autos. But these hybrids take 100-120 days average. You can push veg nutes to go longer vegging. @Screwauger if i remember right had do that and get monster auto plants, but he has good equipment and i think skills too. Maybe he can suggest something? 
Upload some pic. we can see beautys.

I’ve grown a few auto’s, I’ve not seen one that did not have amber trichomes.
Best bet is to read the plants/trichs.
You don’t need a microscope, just a cheap jewlers loop or magnifier with at least 60x magnification.
I have a cheapo I got on amazon and it works great has 60x and 90x
That plant looks to have a few week yet just based on pistils @jose2019
You can go by the hairs as a ball park. But they should be more around 70% red from my experience. Ive never heard of a cannabis plant not having trichomes so not sure about that? With that being said I dont have to a microscope, i dont use one either. I use a jewlers loupe from the big A for about $10. Mine has 30,60 and 90x but if looking at trichomes i use the 60 and 90x. And make sure u look at the trichs on the bud not the leaves. But i would say you have 2-3 weeks left as a guess cuz i forgot how far along they are lol sorry. Hope that rambling helped
