Man that plant is tall, skinny and stretchy. Looks like the lights needed to be close while in veg and do you have a fan blowing in the grow space to strengthen the stems? For CFL grows you should really top, lst or scrog the plants to keep them short and bushy it is easier to get even light coverage and yields better results IME. Other than that the plants do look healthy and green. I would tomato cage the one in flower now so it does not get heavy and droop over. I was shocked at how long the seedling took to finally start growing but it looks good now.

They are both auto flowers, so I was told not to top them. But I was planning on doing lst, but I waited too long . That bitch shot up so fast! She grew like an inch or 2 every other night! But the buds are fattening up. Do you have any advice on wether I should put the small one outside and let it finish? Will that work since it is summer time where I live and the temps get to around 80F ? Or will the sunlight stunt the growth? I was planning on putting the small one outside and using that 105 what to add to the flowering plant.

I just did the calculations and the light schedule is 15/9 . The current light schedule is 20/4 in the grow room. I think that light change would throw it off

Also, the big one is on day 71 today. Does anyone know when I should stop using nutes and when it will be done flowering? To me it looks like its still got a ways to go.

this is might be a dumb question but if its an autoflower what would the time cycle have to do with anything pertaining to when it starts to flower?? wouldnt it be fine if you just let it do its thing outside??

When will my big plant be done? She's on day 91 but the top looks more close to finishing than the bottom. I took pics from the top middle and bottom. Harvesting advice would be appreciated. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
