This has been growing about 5 weeks. She is an auto fem, with an 8 week growing time. I may have misunderstood how the auto fees work. I thought that it veg's for the 8 weeks then bloom.

It looks like you topped it at some point. Some autos don't do as well if they are topped. Just a thought.completed 7 grows
what I have learned so far:
environment maters more than nutrients
at least a dab of nutrients in every watering
effective flushing before harvest is critical to quality

I'd tend to agree, It also looks like you might be experiencing some nutrient issues. maybe some watering issues as well. There is some drooping and spotting you should check into_ especially since they are just starting to flower. They will come on pretty fast now if they are healthy and you want them as robust as possible or your harvest will suffer.

Nebula once said that everyone sooner or later_ well most of us anyway_ :~)_ end up experiencing.....issues. I thought I'd been really lucky as I had't had any problems with my first three grows.
Well my turn was just around the corner. At the begging of my current grow I had a bunch of issues with what turned out to be under watering and too much light too early. I had changed both my growing medium and lights and had to get them dialed in. Now things are going great, much relief there for sure. You'll get it right for sure, just keep growing and following the great advise from everyone in the forum and from all the awesome information on GWE!Current grow_ coco based medium, Fluence LED lights, AIT, 5 gallon planters,

i had a lot of watering issues, too much mostly, ph was a nightmare. i ended up scrapping that plant, one night it had fallen over and didn't get any water. Poor things been through so much. I am starting over trying coco. I come to this site with any and every issue i have everyone here is so awesome.

The grow I'm doing now is the first time I've used all coco/perlite mixed (60/40) with 2" of grow stones in the bottom of the pots. The issue's I had at first were related to a lack of water and too dry humidity_being paranoid about overwatering I waited until the pots were too dry. By the end of the day the leaves would be droopy_ but they looked great in the morning. The combination of too low humidity (<40-45%) and under watering was causing the young plants to draw more water into their leaves than their structure could support. Once the lights were off photosynthesis stopped so they could didn't draw near as much water so they recovered during the dark period looking healthy the next morning. This continued every day until I got the humidity between 50-65% and started watering them every day until I got 10% runout.If they started drooping right after watering then I wouldn't water them for a day. Coco drains really fast but holds on to moisture as well, yet continues to maintain good oxygen supply. I talked with a commercial grower who uses coco as well and he told me not to wait until the pots felt light to water, or to let the top inch get dry like when using soil.
Once I started doing this the plants really started to take off. Now they are just getting into flowering and I'm using 1/2 strength nutrients with every watering until I get 10-20% runout. Then every 3rd watering I use Ph 5.5 water only (no nutrients) to help flush them out a bit until I get 25% runout. They are doing really well now. One thing I'd do is flush the coco really well before using it_ regardless of how much it says that it has been washed previously by the manufacturer.Use water with a PH of 5.5-6.0. Let it drain completely before putting it in the pots. Wash it until the outflow is pretty clear. Then follow the advise for seedlings and growing in coco in the tutorials _(especially the recommended humidity of 50-65% and nutrient schedule for each stage of development).
Hope this helps. Have fun!Current grow_ coco based medium, Fluence LED lights, AIT, 5 gallon planters,
