Follow up on Acapulco Gold Autoflower - poor vertical growth

I'd originally posted about what looked like early flowering of this Acapulco Gold Autoflower. It seemed to be showing pistilles and many said to give it up, but I persisted growdiaries.com/grow-questions/93 as thought stipules. Vert growth not great but healthy.

looks a bit overfed.. change your formula, do a bit less training or at least let it grow vertically sooner, if you are sticking wtih autoflowers. It's useful as long as you learn and improve. in dwc, so it should be pretty easy to make adjustments relative to what you did this time in a precise way. Less nitrogen for one. start lower,but if you notice dark green or glossy leaves, need to reduce sooner. Can further adjust next time and so on, if you want to keep a more consistent level of nutrients around the roots and not have to fiddle with it too much... just smooth sailing seed to harvest.. be systematic and make incremental changes...sometimes you backtrack, too....

if you want to stretch on the stem, raise the light higher so your plant can stretch..

;))) i started guerrilla grows after our first huge success with Acapulco Gold, this strain has potential to be huge, never grew auto version and its not my tried house, but boy, you definitely did something wrong in my mind. Even now plant looks heavily overfed. Hope its just genetics and your will to feed more than needed. Have fun in finishing it !
