I believe some think no bloom nutes untill flowers show helps longer veg(i do not) so maybe try bloom nutes from the get go. I use coco and still using H3ads modified lucas with 6/9 of GH Micro and Bloom and ZERO grow nutes the entire way. Cal mag as well since under QB. Other than that just look for fast flowering like Mephisto Sour Crack. 55 day finisher but by the looks of the ones i see they are +- a few on average about 1 oz. They were mabe to be a nice SOG auto.

My plants don't eat processed food. They are hippies.

You can drop cycle ... but why ?

Autos are hardwired to finish usually under 90 days , so doing light play with them just wastes the grow potential. 12/12 with autos sucks all the way around. Flowers are much smaller and are never really mature. The ruderalis in it is the Time keeper and you can not change it.

Thats what I exactly tought but just wanted to make sure, might need to chop early due to some reasons, might not. They are @day 73 anyway, will see.

Give only water from day 35 and they will finish fast, but you will damage yield an potency.
There are strains that will 60-65

I think it depends. no?

Because there is my plants thats beeing growing water only since day 1. I don't think they have any space for more buds but they keep spitting white pistils, so I would say they didn't lose anything.

I just felt like I might have to harvest them sooner due to some personal problems but turns out that I might not. Considering they have only 5-7 days left I think I'm good.
