Auto Assassin 26 days from seed

Hello this is my first post so I'm sorry if I've posted in the wrong part for this am just wanting to ask a few questions.This is my first ever auto flower growing I have noticed just today it has sexed female :) yay beginners luck i guess my question is how is it doing at the age she is its 26 days today from germination and i have only ever given it a tiny bit of comfrey tea.
It is growing in searles potting mix we cant get fox farm where i am so this is about the best i could find for her it is an outside grow and we get roughly right now about 13hrs of light a day but it has been horribly hot though.(I'm mainly writing this to introduce myself and get some insight on autoflowers).
Is there any other tips on this strain i could know about i generally give all my plants bloom booster with an extra teaspoon of potassium sulfate to 5 litres of water and alternate that with the comfrey tea and searles 5 in 1 over the flower period is that too much for this wee lil plant?IMAG0010.jpgP.S Sorry for crap photo have a crap camera.

you probably should top it,youll get a better yeild,when growing outdoors i sometimes will top them 2 or 3 times. that plant will streach alot outdoors,i dont think that plant should be showing sex yet though,i mostly have grown outdoor,and ussally takes about 6 - 8 weeks befor they show sex,im not sure but maybe if it is an auto it could be showing ,ive never grow them
 
Thank you for the reply I generally top all my photo ones and we have long summers here so generally they sex after about 3-4 mths unless they are indica then generally like u say 6-8w ks I was wondering about topping it because its outside and just today I noticed two little pistils with hairs coming out of them so def female but this season I have weird plant after weird plant for some reason and some other growers I know around the area are having similar problems mainly with everything turning male.All mu Kush strain I have either turned boy in 4-6wks or hermie I got one female but got smashed by hail. Am having such a crappy year this year and I cant grow it inside but that's the way the cookie crumbles though I guess :) ty for the input Jo0b I will probably leave it a week and top it then also we just had a full moon and I planted just at the last full moon if this makes any difference with autoflowers im not sure but thought it worth noting.

yep they flower pretty quick, i'm not sure what they are like now or what strain i had but it wasnt the worst i've ever had but it wasnt that good, did the trick but I sorta dont bother with autos anymore.
Its cool to see em flower so quickly though.
 
Yeah man I just wanted some quick smoko and always been interested and everything else I have this year is just pathetic looking extreme heat back to extreme cold hailstorms no rain for the last 3 mths just never ends so I thought id give it a try and the auto assassin said was sativa dominant and I like sativa's the best :)
 
update on my little auto assassin seems the bottom single leaves is just slightly yellowing but new growth is lush green is it too much to worry about u do think it could have a slight nitrogen deficiency would it hurt to give it a seedling strength dose of searles 5in1 its 6.2.2 it could be just that it got overwatered cause i watered not knowing we were going to get 2 inches of rain this week so i will dry the soil out by sticking her under a fluoro and keeping it out of the night moisture for a while til the pot dries out a bit ive saved plants like this before any suggestions would be awesome i can get pics tomorrow if need be :) happy growing donkey

My auto's usually start flowering at weeks 3-4.I've grown a few that took about 6 weeks,Dinafem's aunt's take longer but once they start flowering its done in about a month and a half.good luck bro
 
oh cool thanks mate ya seems to be going to flower now and drying the pot out and a tiny fertilise seems to have picked it up no end in one day just glad i caught it when i did.I always start my plants off in that soil and seem to go beserk til they fill in the pot and this one was too but weather isnt on my side but that half the fun i reckon :) ill post some pics of her yellowing leaf but it has greened up slightly so i think im on the right track I usually grow sativas cause of our hot dry summer and i like the energetic high rather than sitting on my arse for the next few hrs although i have this kush indica that really is looking quite nice now after it got smashed by hail earlier this yr thanks for the reply bluesdad :) happy growing donkey
 
IMAG0013.jpgIMAG0015.jpg the first one is the kush indica and the second one is an unknown sativa its a little droopy cause its just been watered :) and my auto assassin hasnt really done much since i topped it looking alot healthy now it isnt waterlogged :) happy growing donkey
