Still new to this, to me this is starting to look like pretty clear early signs of pollen sacs, is it a boy or still too early to tell?

This plant shares a tent with a photoperiod which I need to switch to flowering (it is getting too big). Does anyone know what effect, if any, would there be on yield if I moved the light schedule to 12/12 at this late stage?

I thought all the signs of deficiences had to be rootbound based on touch/time in veg/etc... however they don't seem to be recovering with my light bloom feeding. increase? decrease? I just flushed the two in concern and I will update photos tonight .

Broken stem... Is there still hope?
Yesterday I dropped my measuring tape on my plant.🤦🏻 nuff said.... Being this is an autoflower, I know this problematic. Will this branch recover or should I just cut my losses and the branch? Also, will she recover for a decent yield?

I'm using LEDs for the first time and the humidity in the garden is often around 20-30%. Does anyone know a way to correct this. At the moment i just do foliar spay, but I'm not in the garden regularly.

How can I change my grow experience from "Newbie" to something else? What are the other categories? I don't see myself as a Grand Master, but I am now starting my 3rd season and have had some success. Still learning though.

Will she get fatter?
Will the buds fatten up more or is this as thick as she’ll get? Perfectly content, just don’t wanna chop her too soon if there’s some time by the end of her life where the buds blow up. 😇 In week 11 flower - strain is supposed to be 9-10 weeks flower. Trichs not amber yet.

Leaving the plant for a week, possible issues?
My fellow growers, I have a problem. I will be leaving my flat for about a week, and cannot ask any friend to take care of my lady. How can I do with water? Will she resist a week? I will give proper light and can monitor with a webcam, but I have no way of providing water Thanks

So currently we're doing a 4'x4' tent and 2x 600watt Amico LED (full spec) My question is should I supplement more light to the tent? Was thinking 1x 1200 watt in the middle and the two 600 on the sides, angled? Planning on doing 4 photos, not the biggest fan of autos 😅 Thanks!

When she's in early bloom should I continue to train with the trellis net(Tucking tall tops under so they're all even)? Or should I leave her alone and let her stretch?

Diary choice
Hey should I have 2 separate diaries, one for each single strain? Initially I wanted to do one diary for each year, but then remembered I have different strains and that the diary is also made to track each strain separately. Thanks
