flush until your run off is a 6.0. dry you pot out for a few days, resume everything but use less nutrients

How is about ppm? Be careful if you have hard water on your site... Maybe try with 50-50 RO 💪

N issues
This girl suffered from N deficiency very early. So I gave it nutes. Nutes gave it N toxicity. So I flushed the soil with ph’ed water. You guessed it, it’s lacking N now. The problem is the pot is still very yet and heavy so I don’t know if I should water with nutrients

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

Brownish Spots on 2 Older Leafs. Young plant.
I searched it up before posting this and what I found is: Leaf spot, canker, and fungus: Brown leaf spot, Yellow leaf spot, Cladosporium stem canker and Chaetomium fungus. Solutions I found in the comments below. What do you guys think? Can it be heat (a lot of hot days here)?

Autos: Training or not?
So, I want to know your opnions on Auto training. So far I´ve done only LST to my girls, but I see a lot of people doing topping, mainlining, this stuff that I´m afraid of when it comes to autos. And lately I´ve grown a plant without training as she´s fire compared to the trained

Deficiencia de calmag/nitrogênio?
Boa noite, o que se passa com ela? Deficiência de calmag/ nitrogênio? Também tem estado muito frio pra strain Gorilla, será que se vai aguentar? O pH do runoff está dentro do intervalo. Tenho esperado quase uma semana entre regas porque a temperatura com luz ligada ronda os 20°

Day 24 flower
Is this normal for autoflowers to flower this quickly (I looked at other auto diaries, they usually flower at week 5) Is there even anything one can do to affect when it will flower? Also, how much taller should I expect her to get?

Watering after seedlings have sprouted?
Now that all seedlings have sprouted, should I water with 5.8ph balanced water until 10-20% runoff? Or do I wait until they grow their first node? Wondering if I should re-adjust my lights to be closer to the plants? Any advice or suggestions would be great, thanks!

Airy buds or just genetics?
How does my bud development seem to you? Trichomes aplenty but I feel the leaf to callyx ratio is pretty poor? Perhaps due to something I've done/not done, or simply a predisposition of its genetics? Trichomes still 90% clear. Likely to fatten up in next few weeks as trichs turn?
