I'm counting flower a couple days after I saw a bunch of white pistils forming.

Counting when it threw out it’s FIRST pistils is wrong. It merely showed sex then .
Let’s break it down .... you mentioned 10 weeks.
Autos take roughly the first 5 weeks ( around day 35 ) from germ to veg THEN to start showing sex and moving to preflower.
Once plant finishes “ stretch “ ( another 10-14 + or - ) THEN its officially in “ flower “.
Your plant looks about a 3 week flower stage .... ( more pics )
Take ALL auto breeder claims with a grain of salt ..... NEVER rely on the harvest estimates unless you are running Dwarfy / low Ryder or something like “ 60 day wonder “ type strains . They are guides only. ALL autos perform better going past the claim times.

It's been about 9-10 in flower. This girl has been slow from the start, vegged slow for an auto too. went into Soil July 16th Vegged until September 13th, Preflower and Stretched for a couple weeks and then flowered. So it's been in flower for at least 60 days. I'm not taking the breeders advice of when to harvest or else I would have shopped a long time ago. I'm paying attention to pistil colors and Trichomes. All I'm asking for is if there is anything I can do to speed it up a little. I know she's an auto because she gets more than 12 hours of light a day and has not revegged. BTW she's a white Dawrf strain.

Add more night time. Will speed things up. You on 18/6 the now? Go 12-12 or 13-11 if you’re worried about re-vegging.

KingrowThe fastest plants are the most healthy
I whole heartedly disagree with this statement.."the fastest plants are the most healthy"
All cannabis have different variance as to the way they grow and mature..even within generations of seeds..doesnt mean those taking longer are less healthy

i'm not an expert on autos but wouldn't more light be better? from what iv'e read, 20-4 is optimal for autos.
