started grow question 6y ago
Been using a 20hr on 4 hr off light schedule. With autoflower should I consider altering light schedule in flower or leave as is? By default leaving as is as this is a very keep it simple stupid grow.

Leave it on 20-4 light cycle. Autos don't need you to adjust your lights timing at all,

Your plant looks green and happy so I’d leave it alone

Just leave it as is.. An autoflower can flower with 24 hours of light, but most people recommend not going above 20/4..

Too broken to save?
Aaaand I’ve completely disregarded my own plan of letting these girls grow naturally, and accidentally snapped the main stalk. Pretty much entirely across. I immediately taped it. But being that it’s an auto, is it even worth doing this?

SlowOrStuck??
Opinion about this slow -stuck one ! Backstory , Two seeds(different genetics ) rooted healthy the same time in paper towel and transplanted same time in coco. This is going reaaaally slow last 5 days or so , in which same time the other one developed second set of leaves 🍁

Besides the outdoor light hours being enough for Veg, How can I help to keep her in vegetative stage?
I was expecting about 30 days left to Veg. I have grown here for several years and flowering starts at the first week of August. It’s July 2nd and she looks like she’s flowering!! We had 4 days of dark rainy weather last week. Anything I can do to re-encourage a vegetative state?

How do I manage 35 degree Celsius heats and would it really affect flowering if I had to leave her a bit longer than normal for just one day?

Is she pre-flowering?
Are those tiny little pistils (the "spiky bits" under the top node) a sign that she's starting to flower?

Is this self topping ?
I've just noticed that my Lemon OG auto has no top, I'm guessing this is what self topping is. I've heard about it before but never experienced it. Have any of you encountered this before and what are your thoughts on it, is it beneficial or a disadvantage.

Today my plants got overwatered :( All because of a wrong config of my timer which manages the watering pump :( These poor babies received approx. 0.5 - 0.7 L of the solution over last 24 hrs :( My question is whether this poses a threat of root rot or mold ?

Is it weird for a hermie plant to have pistils and anthers inside a male ball at the internodes?
So I’ve seen this before on an auto flower run. All turned out with no seeds but I have 2 monkeyberry plants rn that look like they have that exact same thing going on. Am I wrong in thinking this is weird or is it normal for herm plants to have pistils and anthers in male ball.

PhUp P.Hydro vs. P.Carb vs. Both
Potassium Hydroxide Vs. Potassium Carbonate : or Both for PH+ up. Does one have lower EC value in solution when used? Does ones have better stability in solution for hydro or soil? Does one have more reactivity with other elements in the grow? Does one have higher PH? Cheers,

Defficiency or light burn?
I Had this on my previous plants, I'm starting to think it is light related as it seems to happen to the leaves closest to my mars hydro. I wonder what would be the best course of action here? Ive added a tiny dose of calmag, can I supercrop this late into flower?
