Its my first grow and i have learned from error that one has a short window with Auto Flower and should avoid stressing them. I posted a pick and i feel my bud for 7 weeks in from seed are small. Some of my leaves seem fading and im using 9-16-16 NPK
You still have 3 weeks growth left at least. Don't use the grow times from the seed banks websites. They will certainly go a fair bit longer than they state. You will be surprised how much they will fatten up in the final push to be pollinated. I'd lower the nitrogen levels now and add some P.K to your feeding schedule for optimum results.

Now after first time growing I would change many things in my grow. I would top the once soon as growth start after third node and only do low stress training , the first top was awesome on my four plants, the window for auto plants are not long enough i find for extra stressing. I Ph my water under 6.5 to 5.5 now just because when my water ph was at 6.5 my soil was testing at 7 which is not overly bad but, at water ph at 5.5 my soil is now in range of 6.5. Only reason I grow is for the art of growing only , it so much fun , the trouble shooting is fun. I fimed one of my plants and received 3 colas when topped i got two one plant i super cropped on one of my northern light auto’s in my eyes totally waste of time doing on an auto flower , I’d just use a support stick for strength , less stress and i would repot only once from solo, sometimes less is better I think. I would like to thank all for all posts and thank you sir mostly for responding...Thank you!!!

I tried Super Cropping , Fimming and Topping with my 4 northern auto’s these plants can take some abuse and can I see why this is a popular strain to grow but, just because they bounce back Im sure it halts in their growth to give the yeild one looks for, I actually broke the main stem on one of the northerns and tapped it up and she healed fine but, i know in the process of healing she suffered in healthy growth so for me ,hell no to super cropping an auto that window one has is too short and I see that now from growing my Northerns.

I have a purple bud and she has started same time as NL and she is nowhere near showing start of flower and looking healthy she has been topped and new colas in different areas, it may turn out sweet, we will see.
