I think something has gone terribly wrong (Critical Jack Auto, DWC)

Appropriately in the Newbie Central room, I am a noob, so bear with me. I planted this Critical Jack Auto around Feb. 12. Fast forward to about 5 minutes ago, April 9, and this is what my plant looks like. I have seen no one else's flowering plant look like mine and I feel as though I must have made a huge mistake at some point. The plant has been flowering for about three weeks now, by the way. HELP, please!CAM00474[1].jpgCAM00475[1].jpgCAM00476[1].jpg

What type of light are you using, looks like it isn't enough, may be other issues but that's the first I see

I would say thats stretching for light, and lots of nitrogen, What light do you have it under< what cycle is the timer set for.

Peace
 
For lighting, I have two Hydroponic Full Spectrum CFL Grow Light Bulbs 60 Watt less than six inches off the plant. I thought with autos, you didn't have to change the lighting cycle, so it's been on a 24 cycle since seedling stage.

You could use more lighting, and bring them closer. As long as it doesn't hurt your hand should be fine.

Just one I would say throw some more light on her if that's the case

with autos you do need a dark period as the plant grows its flowers at night. try an 18/6 light cycle. and you definatly need more light on them

It's not the cycle they simply need more watts. Oh and stop the 24 hours. It's during the sleep cycle we grow.
 
Folks, even with the changed lighting cycle, its just flowering extremely slowly. I'm approach week 4 of flowering and the buds are not much, if at all, bigger than in this pic. In fact, I think they may have stopped growing all together because some of the fan leaves are beginning to discolor and curl and some of the pistils are turning brown. I very well may have gotten the nutrient measurements wrong, but I've tried everything with the nutrients and to no avail. My plant NEVER wanted full strength nutes (anytime I'd try to give them the full recommended amount, it would very quickly begin to die and the roots would brown. When I'd go back to half strength, it acted as tho that was what it wanted. Even now, when I should be on a 4 (bloom) 3 (micro) 1 (grow) regimen, instead, I'm on a 2-2-1. I'm sorry if I sound frustrated, but at the rate this thing is growing, it won't be until September before I have smokable buds. And I started in February.
