Hey, that was real cool you took the time to give the newb some direction. Plus, you did it without being a dick. Lol. Good form....

:clap:
I know it was cool of him and I did feel like a prick for hijacking his thread but when I posted it I had just ripped of my Durban poison wax (this years outdoor yield was crazy) but yeah I was super baked

No need to feel like a prick, if you don't act like one.... Lol. Wish I could offer some advice to you or walter, but I'm on my first grow. I've been just doing searches, and reading like crazy. (And learning....)

They are preflowers.
I haven't grown auto's.
I'm guessing that once preflowers appear on an auto flowering begins right away.
The lower leaves look really good, the tops seem a bit thin or spindly to me but overall they look good.

Seems like you are using the nutes to often and probably fed them to soon.

When I grow in 5 gallons of ffof I probably would have only given them water up to the stage you are at.
5 gallons of ffof with small plants can go water only for 6 or more weeks before needing to be fed.

What happened last time that you didn't make it to harvest?
Any info on what went wrong?
Yes. I fed to much nitrogen during flowering, heat, over watered, not right ph lol. My buds are so airy and light.

Damn I hope it still smokes good yeah I’m new to all this indoor shit there is so much science behind it out doors I mean can’t go wrong I usually just let the genetics do the work this is my first time with any type of nutes and it has been a learning experience for sure but I love growing

Second grow of autoflower from growers choice seeds. This is a gorrila glue in ocean forest, 5 gallon smart pots, 20 hr led lighting, ph at around 6.3-6.5, foxfarm trio at half dose every other watering, with temps in the low 80s. Question, I have yet to have a successful harvest. These plants are about 6 weeks old. Are these preflowers or a deficiency? They just look weak to me. Or is this an awesome plant and I'm just an impatient newbie?
My buddy told me that if your plant tries to go to sleep right before you turn your lights off that the health overall is good for the plant he said a lot of ppl make the mistake of watering when they see the plant droopy that it could be a sign of the light schedule or that the plant is gonna stretch

Thanks for the input. Since they're preflowering they might droop before the stretch i guess.

I'm beginning to fear you may have a problem, that's exactly what my plants look like before a lockout, I'd stop all nutes entirely and get on the kelp, some Epsom salts or calmag and a dose trace elements (once) for the next 2 feeds, wont hurt anything and may solve a problem that hasn't happened yet, Your leaves are looking a bit too frail and spindly for my liking.

And as the other guy said dial your feeds right back autos dont like a lot of nutes.
Indicas are heavy feeders sativa not as much and autos can grow on very little so I'd take it right down

That’s the same plant that was looking a lil frail this morning I watered and then turned my light on about a hr later and it immediately responded
