Hi I'm interested in knowing what you consider to be cold temps as I'm growing autos outside as an experiment this year and live in a temperate climate (western UK) with night time temps as low as 12/13 c, I don't really care what the yield is as its a test grow, having said that they seem to be doing very well

Cold temps and short day length conspire to limit autoflower flower development outdoors. Autos really do need 18/6 and indoors to perform to their best potential. As primarily an outdoor grower, autos lost their appeal to me for outdoor growing a long time ago. Harvest at about 90-95% brown pistils if you prefer a THC induced mind bending head high. Harvest at about 99-100% brown pistils if you prefer a CBD induced, more heavy and relaxing, body stone. Hope this helps, Organoman.

And of course getting less light it’s smaller, but it can be exaggerated by the nutrient burn

Would say a few more weeks left there. They don't look that bad considering you say its been cold where you live.

It’s due to the genetics and the excess of salts in the medium
