First time growing autoflowers

Mid-week update, more to come later. I tried bottom watering for the first time. It didn't really work as well on the bigger girls (probably root issues from early watering problems, might also explain why they are so small), whereas the younger girls loved it and slurped up every last drop in about a minute. I suspect multiple factors: - different, smaller pots (2 gallon) - looser soil mix (more perlite, added coco) - recently re-potted, has only been saturated once - big girls were started directly in 3gal, and i haven't learned how to water them yet Regardless, they look pretty alright to me 24 hrs later (first pic). Tried setting the light to 100% for a bit (roughly 700 ppfd), and I think I might have fried the tops. So it's back to 75% at about 18", about 450-500 ppfd (30-ish DLI). I might try bumping it up again later, but they seem happier with less light for the time being. I'm waiting on the big girls to dry out so I can maybe hit them with some more Tiger Bloom. The big girls got a weak (1/5) dose of Big Bloom on Wednesday, but I'm not sure I'd even count that as feeding given how weak it is. I think it's just EWC and guano, no salts. I haven't really been feeding these girls much of anything at all... too gun-shy because I gave them a bit too much N early on, and because Tiger Bloom feels a bit intense. Hardly any smell yet from the 4AM—literally no smell at all from 2AM (not even a plant smell), and the big 4AM has a very faint sort of melon. Kind of an earthy minty pine smell from the AK when I'm touching her, but not strong at all. But oh boy, I was doing some LST on the Moonshine Cookies and it is definitely starting to throw off a sort of chocolate and gas. Thursday: 2AM and AK got bottom-fed the strongest ferts I've mixed yet. 2AM blew up and showed a bit of sugar a day later, but also got a bit burnt. I think AK took it fine, kinda hard to tell but she's really starting to flower now. She's kind of lanky so I'm not envisioning fat buds or massive yields from her... but so far she is still kicking despite my mishandling of her since birth. Sunday: Recharge day for everyone. Everyone got Big&Tiger Bloom at some point this week as well. Stronger feeding this week, but they seem to be okay with it. I got more Nitrogen clawing from it though (?), and just a slight bit of tip burn. Experimenting with bottom watering via wicking rope... so far so good? No loud odors yet, but definitely a distinctly "young cannabis" smell when I open the tent. The 4 Assed Monkeys still have absolutely no smell whatsoever even if I touch buds, stems, or the frosted leaves. Did a bit of gentle pruning on each, mostly just targeted the big leaves that I found myself constantly tucking, and one or two lame lower branches from the 4AM. She's looking like she might need more defoliation, but I'm going to wait and see how much more she stretches first. I love the way she looks and grows though. This week, AK (despite being the youngest) went from shortest to tallest, her main cola at 15 inches. She's kinda spindly, but her issues are all completely my fault: sloppy transplant, light stress, nute burn, weird watering, all the typical newbie shit. She's still green and kicking though. Light is at 100% now, and they aren't complaining about it anymore. MC and AK still get droopy an hour before lights out, but the 4AMs just can't seem to get enough!
