Did you just water it? Looks a little sad and droopy. Also just looks like it could be thriving a bit more. Do you at least have a fan on it? Just sayin cause all leaves are dropping. Continue lst througoit veg stage and limited during flower. Only training I do in flower is sea of green. I super crop and train by tying down limbs during veg.

Hey man setup is optimized.. yes i did just water em a bit earlier , got 2 12volt fans mixing the air up in the room, ive noticed the drooping myself but its been like that pretty much since the start so i thought it must be its genes..

keep doing it untill they are at least a week into flower I have height issues in my tent and I do it untill the last few weeks when they basically stop vertical growth

Well when do autos count as flowering? Its shootin out pistils all over the place which had me guessing it started to flower?
Honestly sometimes i feel like i forget everything :P Oh and when is the right time for autos to switch to bloom nutes?

Well it's flowering as soon as you have pistils but I've read that if you want it to continue getting bigger you continue grow nutes until like week five. I switched to bloom at like halfway through week three, three or four days after I saw pistils.

i switch as soon as i see hairs in tips of branches--give nutes 6 weeks the 10 days of flush with molasses and water --whatever works for you works!!!

when i see hairs in a afgan plant i begin for 6 weeks from that day---then only water and molasses until i chop---if its a sativa plant <which usually takes longer to mature i go a s much as 8 or 9 weeks before i flush

Thanks for clarifying. Autoflower harvest time estimates from growers are such bullshit lol. I've got four AK automatics growing, one from BlimBurn and three from Speed Seeds, and BlimBurn is honest with a three month estimate, but the other breeder says 60-70 days. All the plants look exactly the same pretty much lol.

yeah this auto is advertised with 9-10 weeks from seed so going along those lines i should have around 6 weeks left..

yep ...... ive been doing this for a couple years now ..... i tried the bloom nutes after preflower .... kinda a major yield loss IMO
Ok i think ill wait for her to start bulking until i switch, she doesnt seem to be a big feeder in any ways . i gave her a third strength feed of grow and i got a couple yellow tips.. nothing too bad shes just telling me shes full i think :) oh and i found this chart for autoflower plants btw im not sure if its acurate ill let you guys be the judge of that :D

I have one out of my four plants at day 32 putting on buds and the other three still stretching. I switched them all the bloom nutes when preflowering started but they had very high nitrogen levels before the switch, so I think if I had continued them my plants would have either gotten N. tox badly or gone too long.
