I have not added any nutrients but I did add soil to each of the pots. Two plants went into flower last week and the rest are just there or are close. I still have been running the fan minimally as this was taking all the humidity. The smell is getting bad so I had to start running the big fan and the humidifier. Watering is still slow as the soil is still moist. I am using 2 gallons of distilled water per week split between all 8 plants. This is the 1st grow where I have not topped or trimmed due to the auto flower recommendations.
Simply if it takes the shape you want and especially if you see that the plant does not stress too much, in case you notice a slow growth, especially in the case of autoflowering it could lead to a poor final yield.
LST is going well if your plant is taking up a bigger even footprint in your tent. more light to all the nodes.
really good advice in the other answers here as well.
Best of Luck
Do you recommend adding soil as opposed to adding nutrients for auto flowers? I've had issues with nutrient burn even when halving the recommend feeding schedule. I tried this grow without nutrients.
If you talking about top dressing your plants for nutrients with dry amendments or super soil vs using liquid feed you can do that.
I feel if its just more soil it will not be fortified enough for the plant to sustain its self till end of flower. Will need some other things in there like Dr.Earth/GaiaGreen
Soil is normally only good for transplanting and you should not transplant an auto. just not enough feed in it.
Dry Amendments will need a top up every 2.5-3 weeks and take a few days to kick in.
If you still have liquid feed kicking aorund this is a handy tool.
Use this feeding chart for a guideline of how much you should be feeding. It used EC/PPM

Good Luck.
I would not recommend transplanting if your already in flower. I found when feeding autos use half of what they recommend. I’ll even start out at 1/4 strength and work my way up.
