Looking good! Probably 1-2 more weeks to go! Advice is to take your time on the dry and cure and make sure you have to right environment so you didn’t just kill it in growth and ruin the dry. Good luck ✌️💚💨🌿

Ooooohhh! You're growing a Twenty20! Dirty Martini!! I've got their Manhattan waiting in my fridge for space to open up... going to have to follow your grow! But back to your question. Two things: 1) Autoflowers are much different than photos, with autos, less is more - less nutes (I've never met an auto, which is all I grow, that can tolerate full dose nutes), less stress (LST only! - you don't want to interrupt their built-in schedule). And 2) pH is everything. 6.0-6.5. You've grown photos before... autos are very different and very finicky - if you just let the plant tell you what she wants or doesn't want, you should be golden. Good luck - enjoy the journey!

-Don't overfeed or overwater your plants. With autoflowers, you don't need to give them full nutrient regimens. Go with 1/4 of what your nutrients say to use at around week 3 and don't feed it anything before that. they have all the food they need for the first few weeks of their lives. -Try to figure out the best height for your light with this run. start with it about 24" above the plant and if it doesn't grow as tall as you would like it to grow, move it up some more. If it starts stretching and getting floppy branches, move it down. It'll take adjusting to figure out, but it's worth it in the end. -Cultivars(strains) and phenotypes are all different and that's not a bad thing! Some will like more intense light and nutrients, some won't. Each cultivar you grow, you'll have to figure out the sweets spots of light intensity, temperature, relative humidity, and nutrient regimen. It seems like a lot, but it really isn't.

Yeah have your environment sorted lights, fans, extractor, get good genetics and some good fertiliser. Always start nutes very low and move up slowly.
