Help with harvest time

So I received some seeds and was told it was a mango strain. They were planted Nov 5th and 1 of the plants began to auto flower several weeks ago. The other plant is not autoflowering. They both look very similar tall and stalky not very bushy. I believe my autoflower plant is indeed the sweet mango strain. Today would mark 9 weeks since planting but she is def not ready to be harvested. I feel like she still needs at least a week or two minimum. Usually I don't plant autoflowers so I'm unfamiliar with what to do. The bottom 2 photos are the plant that has not auoflowered. Do I continue to ignore there 7-9 week harvest period and go beyond that basing harvest time on trichomes? Will allowing a few more weeks ruin the buds?

Ignore the finish times, until you get a more powerful setup and dial in a bit.

If I'm understanding, you've got your auto and photo flowering together? What's the light schedule?

Yes I planted them with 2 other plants that I know what strains they are and they are both photo strains. I had no idea I was going to be planting auto seeds. I just put my other two plants into flower last week so now all 4 plants are in flower together. I have them in a tent hps system as well as t5 and inline velocity fan. They are under 12/12 lighting

So then would it not be the sweet mango strain of the autoflower harvest time for a sweet mango is 7-9 weeks and this will be well beyond 9 weeks

Your auto is probably going to finish weak under 12/12. You can't really flower them with photos.

I would focus on the photos. Actually, I would make hash with the auto when it frosts more, since it's there.

Unfortunately I had to make the switch, my photos were getting way to tall for the tent and they had been vegging for about 80 days when I made the switch. Height was the biggest problem and my tent 6ft tall, there was about 4ft left before they touched the top of tent when I switched them.
