Lowlife Automatic AK47(outdoors)

Hey guys. I'm about 90+ days into a strain that the breeder says has a lifespan of 70 days. The two in the orange buckets are the auto AK47s for sure, I think the rear right plant may be a blue hash that I mixed up by mistake. It's obviously got a while to go as the buds are just starting to sprout.
I wan't some of your input on these. In a few of the pics if you look close enough you can see many of the trichomes turning amber but mostly on the main cola at the top. The plants seem to be a bit more odorous in the past few days, before there was hardly any odor at all. Some of the calyx's near the bottom of the old bud sites have swollen up quite a bit. Can I expect each calyx to do the same? I've read that that's the ideal time to harvest; after all the calyx's have swollen up and the pistils have sunken in. What I'm afraid of is that the plant might die before it gets that far because it's an autoflowering strain with a supposed lifespan of 70 days.
The main colas are pretty slim but leafy, it makes them look fatter in the photos than they actually are. I'm hoping that there is going to be another round of flower development but again I'm uncertain.
I'm running low on the fox farm tiger bloom I've been feeding these and other plants. I've got some new general hydroponics nutes, the hard water micro and bloom.
Is it safe to switch ferts this late in the game?
How much longer before I can chop these down?
