I don't know WTF I'm doing here.....

What am I looking at here? Or for? Looks like it's doing ok, weed is pretty resilient. I once snapped a whole plant in half by having a fan fall on it. It took the stress and in 3 weeks thrived once again with vengeance. Don't beat yourself up, it's all trial & error.

I mistakenly topper the plant. Check the first white circle, that's the main top from the second circle.
I wouldn't really mind if it was a photoperiod but this is an autoflower, luckily it hasn't started flowering yet so maybe I can get a couple more tops, and a bit more vertical growth.

Sorry but I have no hands on experience with autos. I would think though that as long as it's still in veg stage you should be fine.

Looking good as for defoliage yeah I agree , I wouldn't take too many from her if you decide that route maybe 1-3 fans. But thats my photo exp. I don't know much about autos. Given how time isn't unlimited I'm not sure about lst options. I know when I'm some what nervous about taking leaves off I end up tucking and supercropping fans.. that way the plant can reallocate the nutrients itself over time. I'm just impressed at the growth considering the solo cup grow. I bet those roots are massive

Yeah I'll pull or tock them off to the side before I remove anything. Yes, photos give the ability to try different techniques no matter the age of the plant.
Thanks, she's the better looking of the four.

We can't fully judge a woman till we've seen the backside.Hit her with colloidal silver again and hit her with some of that NY diesel auto pollen from the last grow.

She may benefit from a little defoliation but I'm worried I'll need those leaves later on....

Watch your nitrogen, looks like a tad of clawing going on, but otherwise she looks good to me. With my experience being on photoperiods instead of auto strains I could be wrong, but you wouldn't wanna cause a deficiency or lockout due to a toxicity of high N. It could also be Rh/VPD issues or from rootbound issues, I don't have much experience in solo cup grows tbh.. once she reaches the sides, I move her to a bigger container. Please don't think me rude, arrogant or ignorant, I only mention this from my photoperiod experience - these are uncharted territories for me. Like I said good job, look at how far you have come since the beginning this thread - impressive, but always Push to adapt & learn new things.
I'm currently in week 3/4 of flower & had to cut a true herm I found in my tent out of my phenos. As I was tearfully cutting it out of my scrog net, it got me thinking of post harvest revegging already and which stem structures & lower larf I will use in those future growth phases. Why I truly love photos, cannabis as a higher sentience type plant is only a annual if you allow it to be. There have been times where I've gotten 4 reveg & harvests from just 1 plant. Only to then clone her as she is wiser & more mature to be a mother/grandmother in my tent preserving those precious genes. Very cost effective in the long-term of it & I'm cheap.

Definitely nitrogen toxicity going on in the tent. One of the girls sat in fish emulsion and the other seems like it took in every bit of nitrogen that was available early on. Yikes! I've been able to lock in on VPD, so it hasn't been as much of an issue of mine anymore, especially compared to when I first got started. My solo cup experience consist of what's going on now. Watering, top dressing, and training in solo cups are a whole different beast.
I didn't get that from your comment at all! Honest and constructive feedback actually helps. I appreciate that you cared enough to comment on it. I'm hoping to get upwards of 50 seeds to make this thing worthwhile and in the midst of it get some decent smoke I've never tried before. I'll be trying my best to keep things as healthy as possible but the main goal is the finish line.
Ouch, did it throw nanners or sacs? I guess that's still relatively early in flower though. I don't have experience using photos but I heard the revegging period is a bitch, these must be from seed in guessing.
It's insane what could be done with a little time and knowledge. I'm sure you've literally got pounds of good smoke from that one plant in many different ways.

Yeah it threw sacks under her flowers on 75% of branches, luckily I got it out of the tent before they opened. So Im down to 4 ladies in the tent, just got done running a SAR cycle. I use chitin & salicylic acid with some that Plant Success Organics,TM7 & increased magnesium, sulfur, phosphorous & potassium dosage added- 640ppm. Used a little B52 totaling it all out to a 700 ppm. (Not a Advanced Nutrients fanboy, but I like B52 for its npk) Ph up'd with a little Dynagrow Protekt. 6.47 PH.
Also started Co2, I didn't think it was important in veg & I don't like Co2 during stretch. Plus I like to stress them a bit to weed out herm tendencies so I'm not surprised I found one really. I prefer strong male or female genes, not a fan of bisexual flowers. Damn trickery or go all bloom stage just to get some nanners. Aggravating

Then it was very bad, are those genetics still in the tent? I don't think I even know half of the items you just mentioned, but I'm getting the feeling you do a mixture of organic and synthetics? How long have you supplemented co2? I know it isn't expensive but it'll likely be the very last thing I upgrade.

There are 2 out of 4 females in my tent with same genetics. I try to go all organic except for microsupplements I guess. The only thing questionable would be b52 but thats mostly for Vitamins & Dynagrow protekt is a potassium & si product. I only foliar spray those lightly during veg & transition. Chitin is organic sourced, Salicylic acid is whats in aspirin & Harpin Proteins are organic. I foliar with them in transition & early flower as well as occasional root drench for SAR uses. I use BioAg TM7 for trace minerals, BioAg Cytoplus, TPS organic Cal/Mag, Plant Success Organics & a combo of Microlife, RAW & Roots Organics. I also have some Recharge & 90% Fulvic Acid powder. And Blackstrap molasses. I've retired most of my synthetic nutes in search of stinky organic terps & trichomes.
As for Co2 it's my first year as well & I start after the stretch.

Note: Spotted some transparent worms two days ago that may have turned out to be gnats or something.
Didn't spray anything because I didn't want to hurt any beneficial organisms. Yellow stickies later today and if that doesn't do anything then I'll bring out the all season bonide.

If she's pulling N from the lowers, chances are she's not N tox. up top.
