@Kilbarrack yeah for sure I agree with u.. 6 days with without water and no wilting or anything else besides night when the leaves drop. But in the day they all up.
I’m using first feed root it, bio cal-mag, bio Vega for veg and later on bio flower

Take everyones advice here with a grain of salt, unless you think they really know what they're talking about. Im an average grower just giving you my 2 cents. Your plant looks really heatlhy, so if you think she is ok for another few days, then thats your decision. You'll get a feel for what she needs when she needs it.
Do you have the feeding instructions for the Vega nutes?

@Kilbarrack yes I do. Started from day 10 with root sitmulator and 0.5/1l bio Vega.. nothing much changed cause I tried for the first grow to be careful (less is more) last week went to 1ml of bio Vega and tomorrow first time 0.5ml cal mag / 2ml root it / 2ml bio Vega (all these per 1litre of course) probably gonna pour 500ml water.
You know I started reading and asking whatever I could found the last couple of months and I got a lot of times confused, but right Now I only trust my guts and how the plant looks like even how much to water it regardless how old the plant is. I mean I head a minor stunted seedling due to a bit overwatering with the mister daily and a bit lack of sun.. it was born at a week only with clouds and without artificial light.. hmm my bad.

I’m gonna pop these days another two autos.
first ten days inside under 40w cfl bulb close to 2-3 inch and then after 2-3 good nods outside to the balcony. Don’t get much direct sun On the balcony (8hours direct and 3 indirect) but the condition is superb (Mediterranean clima) good sun, nice breeze, perfectRH 14 hours daylight..lets see what happens.
Can’t afford me now a ready setup-Ed tent but when winter calls in (late November here where I am). So buddy, a whole summer of learning in front of me and OF COURSE I want some gggggg’s and ounches if possible haha.. if three autos with that condition give me all together 80grams I’m gonna say thank u

I grow everything in 2 ltr pots....autos and photos...even though its easy to check weight, I still only water if my moisture meter indicates a need.
Always push the meters probe into the root ball itself where moisture content is what you want to know...finger deep sure ain't it. Overwatering is the worse thing to do for a seedling.

meters probe into the root ball? Really? Are u not afraid to hurt the ball or to damage some root? I only put in the corners and around! Whole knuckle deep dry but bottom meters from moist to wet in some spots.. but mostly the bottom is still moist after 6 days

Been doing it 15 years and ain't hurt one yet. Sounds more like your medium isn't draining well or something about your environment isn't right.
Its NOT knuckle deep that tells you anything...it's the root ball. That's the only place it means something. Anywhere else is a guess and not an educated one at that.

So U suggest sticking the moisture meter right into the root ball? In the middle of the plant? Do I get that right?
Ps the plant today 18cm/7.5inch stunted auto 26th day

Yes...stick it where you want to know that area condition...and it's the root ball that's most important. Plus, man you ain't gonna hurt a weed.

hey guys @MrToad69 @JoeBlow5823 @Kilbarrack
Should I Prune the under deck? I’m in day 29 and I don’t think there is gonna be bud down there due to all false moves I made in the seedling stage.
It’s kinda tall and not so bushy as I wanted. Btw still in veg but I think that’s about to change in the next ten days propably. But damn it’s getting every day taller like 1inch every night.
NL AUTO DAY29

Hawaii..
You're getting too anxious..hence the lack of responses..Relax and let the plant grow..you're doing fine.

Hawaii..

What's goin' on?

You don't like advice you're given?

People told you that you've over watered..looks like you didnt like the advice as you went over to autoflower, only to get the same opinion..(hey no one can fault you for asking a second
Opinion)

Then you wanted to delete your profile here for some reason..

Let the plant medium dry out some..(it will take a little time with a small root system) you will see the leaves start to perk up and reach for the light...Then you can start watering again..slowly.

As for your grow, admittedly, you know, you're only sticking a toe in the water and not really providing your plant the light they need...You're using a couple little bulbs.

Be honest with yourself..you know you cant expect much as a result...Kinda like a fisherman taking a stick and tying 10 feet of line on the end expecting to catch "Charlie Tuna"...
That said...you can get by with a relatively modest LED or Burple..Be patient till you get your new lights...
Because right now you're asking all sorts if questions to correct things, when you're not really set up for success in the first place.

People are here to help...But you need a foundation to build on.

Best of luck

For my White Widow autoflowers I use light 24 a day. I put them outside when the sky is clear during the day and inside under a quantum LED light at night. They are doing nicely, except for the whitefly problem.
