@Smoke_Weed_Maintain, Not really, your plants look like they got really stunted early on and weren't able to vegetate properly going into flower, which is unfortunate given that you're growing an Auto, less chances to fix Veg mistakes. Those leaves looked like they were very deficient of Cal-Mag and Nitrogen. Try using one of the CalMag Brands around the net, it's not very expensive and you can feed it through the plants entire life cycle. It's best never to trust a "kit" at it's face value. PH meters are cheap, allows you to check the Water pH coming out of your home tap and use that as a baseline to adjust levels throughout the grow. If you can drain your plants into a bucket while feeding them, it allows you to take better Runoff samples. Runoff PH should typically be .5-.8 lower than your incoming Water Ph Shoot for ~6.5-6.8 during Veg, ~6.0-6.5 during Flower for feed levels. You could have also been overwatering, as that causes major stress and stunts root development, there's a fine line where plants are perfectly dehydrated and ready for water and overly dehydrated and starving, usually about a 24 hour window between those two phases.

@Smoke_Weed_Maintain, okay, but do you actually measure the PH going into and out of your Soil? Either your light is not lowered enough so your plants are overstretching, or the plants are Nutrient locked, causing leggy stretchiness and less bushiness.
@Gersora, I would also like to know. I have a Frisian Dew & Blue Dream ready to chop this month and they look like prize winners to me :)
