Week 4 of growing autoflower strains, the flowering stage

[Rookiegrower710]

Its the 4th week of life for my two autoflower strains and they have entered the flowerint stage; the strains are Northern Lights x Ruderalis (Northern Lights Auto) and Purple Punch x Old School Skunk Auto (Purple Punch Auto)




Flowering time per strain is 6-8 weeks for Northern Lights auto and 7-8 weeks for Purple Punch




Training done on the plant was low stress training and topping. I’ve also pruned a couple of fan leaves to expose each branch with more light.




Im watering around half a gallon/two liters of water per plant with a pH of 6.5 every two or three days as soon as media dries out.




I feed the plant once per week and I use silica-armor, cal-mag, floramicro, florabloom, and flora




Temperature is at 79 *F / 26 *C with an rh of 56% and vpd coming in at 1.56

They look very heat stressed. Lots of razor sawed leaf edges. Be careful because she could herm up on you during bloom with such high temps.
Aside from that, they don't look nutrient deficient and they're clearly getting bigger and bushing out. So that's still a good sign.

Discontinue the silica when flowers begin to appear. Apparently it interferes with bud formation.

OldManGrower I keep hearing different opinions on this. But there's also different silica products. As well as natural sources like diatomaceous earth. Would those interfere as well?
