She looks a bit gangly and stemmy. It being an auto you have no say in her veg and flowering cycle. Her life cycle is pre determined. Is that her roots I can see through the top of the bucket? If so that's bad news you need to eliminate all light going into that bucket. Rap that Pink bucket in something like duct tape and cover all those holes letting light into the bucket. Roots exposed to light are very prone to root rot. What kind of lights are you using?

You can run that stuff pretty much through the whole flowering cycle til flush so I'd say now would be fine. Imo

Autos aren't like regular photoperiod plants. They don't like very high ppms and are prone to nute burn, I generally will run mine as high as 550-575 tops and no more

God i am so confused by what the hell is going on with the bucket lid...what am i looking at??? whats the white shit? And I guess by the other posts thats a hole in the lid? It looks like the water is all the way to the top? As you did, keep that closed. That fence is serving no purpose, i don't get why it's there and it sounds like you don't either.

Sorry if I sound like a dick but i've been drinking and what you got going on there looks like a mess. Please take that fence off lol looks like a pain in the ass and won't ever serve a purpose in this grow. If that's 50 days with an auto you should really go to photoperiod, that things way off of where it should be. You should have a lot going for you with that 400w but you're way off..

The plant looks good...a bit underdeveloped for its age as an auto, but good.
You got some serious issues going on with that hydro setup though.

1. Your bucket top looks disgusting and the water in the bucket does as well. You need a clean environment & reservoir for your hydro.
2.You need to cover up that hole in the bucket top & stop exposing the roots to light. As mentioned already, it promotes very nasty issues.
3.The gate around it is doing nothing. It looks like a tetanus shot waiting to happen & I suggest you ditch it a.s.a.p.

I'd recommend you stop foliar feeding/spraying when the light is on. It will damage your plants. Light goes through the water droplets on the leaves like mini magnifying glasses burning holes in the leaves.
If you can, get an airstone and put it in the reservoir. That swamp need some bubbles.

Good luck with the grow!

I didn't notice if you mentioned this or not, but make sure you run it 20 hours on and 4 hours off for the duration of the plant's life.

I can see bubbles up in the first picture so i know you have some air in there, but you want the water to be about 1 inch below the bottom of your netpot (the orange plastic thing you are using) holding your hydroton.

Stop foliaring like everyone has said. It's not necessary if your plant is getting all the nutrients it needs through its roots.

Take down the fence, it looks like more of a hassle than it could ever help her.
