I usualy put 10 to 20% coco for flufynes and mikoryza for better roots. And it works

For all the auto growers should I top?
Can I ask the auto growers would you advise topping? I’ve read I can top if they are growing well and around the end of week 3? I’m in two minds whether to top say three of them or all as it is my first time with autos. I don’t want to regret not topping. Any advice many thanks

Any one having experience with biobizz light mix whit biobizz nutrients. Pp/ec in runoff
I am using biobizz light mix and biobizz nutrients.my runoff came out over 2000ppm. I am am only in week 3 have only feed whit half doses. I have herd you can not mesurue ppm from runoff with biobizz because they are organic and the ppm in soil runoff can't be measured it's true?

Just did my first LST. Any thoughts?
Hello! This is my first time doing LST. This auto flower is about 3.5 weeks old, and I just tied it down in two spots. Do you think this is a good start to Listing, or is it too much bending? Too little? Thanks to all who take the time to answer! 🌿🍅

Space requirements
If you had know high yield compact sized Auto flowers in 4 two gallon pots and 2 one gallon pots, is it likely that you will need every inch of space in a 4Lx2W6H tent? I plan to top and spread the canopy of each if they are healthy enough along the way. Thanks

Will heat delay flowering in autos?
Does heat impact flowering with autoflowers and specifically Indica dominant strains such as this one? I know that both Indica and Ruderalis prefer cooler climates. I cannot get my closet under 85⁰. In the South and no AC in that room. Can this be why I'm at day 53 of veg?

Continued question of why leaves are drooping ONLY AT THE TOP!!
Gmslave No in the beginning I thought she had been recooperating from a weird birth from the seed. The shell stayed attached for two weeks or so. I had tried helping it along and then her leaves possibly got nute burned after that or it was from the shell issue.. My Ph is fine6.3

Flowering nutrients - BioBloom, Top Max, Alg-a-Mic - from when on?
From when on do you start giving this nutrients? I'm considering to start Thursday, beginning of week. She looks ready for it, and I believe it'll be favorable for her growth in this stretching stage. Also considered to just increase the amount of the veg nuts. What would you do?

Yellowing of top fan leaves
What is causing yellowing of the top fan leaves? Started to happen to a plant that I broke by accident during LST. However around the same time I upped to 2ml/l and moved the light a little closer. My ph has also been high (fine now). No idea which one could be the culprit

20 days early stigma?
What’s up growmies, so autoflowers are foreign territory for me, so I was wondering if 18-20 days from transplant is normal to start to see stigmas? I know that sometimes transplanting stressors can initiate early flower so I’m just getting an idea of timing for future reference.
