Early week 5. Trucking along.
She is still a moody girl. Some days perky, some days droopy. All randomly back to back in the same wet dry cycle. No idea why. If I was overwatering I would expect to have seen real deficiency issues by week 5.
Removing a few leaves to reveal bud sites seems to have really worked. I only tucked previous grows but won't hesitate to lightly defol autos in future.

Deficiency growing slowly to other lower leaves. I think it is mag so added a 1/4tsp of Epsom in the last water and will do again next time to see if that works.
Wow, she's a quick one! I see some people grow these huge autos that look like photoperiods. I haven't a clue how, must be genetics? My limited experience with autos is of the fast to flower variety😕, barely enough time to start LST. Looks like you have her trained out well, hopefully she's a stretcher/stacker😜. Goodluck, I'll be checking in to see how she does.
@Cantwaitcantwait, Photos are more forgiving. With Autos you have to be on point for all stages of growth. The plant cycles through veg to flowering so quickly with autos...leaving little room for error.
@DeaneR, thank you for this!
Makes me feel less inept to hear this from someone who grows beautiful plants and knows what they are doing!
I'm switching to photos after this run. Solving for light leaks has to be easier than convincing an auto to hold off on flowering.
