Should I dunk my plant in soapy water before moving indoor?

Yeah, they look good. What size autopots you got? The 8 ltr? I have 4 of the 15 ltr(3.9 gal). You use the air domes? Myself i do not nor do i use pebbles at the bottom of the pots. Just coco with the good amount of perlite it comes with out of the bag.

Right now there are two 15s and one 8.5. Although, I got two more 15s but I wanted to try out the smaller size too. Yes, I use air domes and clay pebbles at the bottom.
Is it clear the plant is female?

By the way, what do you think about adding two 125 watt fluorescent lights to my 360w LED? (1*2700k + 1*6400k)

They can't hurt as long as you utilise them. CFL have to be 2-4" from plant to REALLY be effective. That means constantly raising them so they don't burn plant.

My tent is 100x100x200 cm; if I'm supposed to use a scrog and spread the branches to fill the room, will the light be enough and what kind of yield should I expect?

What if I don't use a scrog? can I grow more plants? (I don't have feminized seeds, so I have to have to grow more plants, than 1-2.

Do I have an appropriate light for the tent size I have?

Damn, I thought I asked a lot of questions...

Just keep everything you have as is. Don't change abuncha stuff to quick. That light can go 12-18 inches from tallest point of your plant. It's plenty for 1 little auto. It's fine for seedlings also. So keep your oldest going and start another seedling or 2, so as 1 finishes flower the next one is just going into it.

But hes not growing autos... Says he doesn't have feminized seeds...
 
This is what the plant looks like now after 2.5 months; 6 weeks into bloom stage.

Should I prune the leaves or the lower buds?

Any suggestion or advice?

Also, how should I know when to flush and cut them down? I've read some articles online and I have some idea, but I thought I should ask for other growers experience.

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.

I assume your worried about bringing pests in your home? Do Not Dunk your plants in soapy water, buy some food grade de earth, dust around your plants, lightly dust your fans, leave for 48 hours, make shure the dust does not get wet, De earth is organic after you bring plants inside put you plants in front of a fan and shake the dust off your fans, de earth is allso a good source of cal mag after the 48 hours just water as usual, your led light is not pushing that many watts, keep your light far enough from your plants till there leaves stick up to the light not shy away from it, after awhile you can tell, if your plants are happy under your lights, if your plants outside are getting 15 hours of light do you think it wise to increase your light cycle halfway thru your grow? I do not know how this will effect your plants as I pick a light cycle and stick to it. I do know you can decrease your light cycle with an auto and you probably can increase it but I'm not shure, as I said I pick a light cycle and stick to it. Any more questions?

Bro, I've already brought the plant inside. 2.5 months ago. You can go back one page and see how it looked back then. I'm just seeking some insight on how to prune (if I should do it), and any other suggestions or advice on my plant's current state. That's all. :-P
 
Ok I'm sorry, yes you can most definitely prune an autoflower I do it all the time, some plants do not mind it at all while in others it may hold up your plant for a day it two, I do my first prune around day 30 to get my branches in the light, when it comes time to switch from food to bloom nutrients I then give a final prune exposing my branches and tops to my bloom light, use a pair of pruneing shears or fiskars, never use scissors on your plants, if you don't have shears or fiskars pinch off the leaves you want to prune, the first pic is a baby northern light, second pic a bit bigger but you can see where I pruned 2nd pic is just before my final prune before I switched to bloom nutrients, 3rd pic is after my final prune, and the 4th pic is 1 week in bloom, note the flower is starting to show structure after 1 week in bloom, note my tops and branches are exposed to the light, note where i pruned off some fans so my branches are in the light, your flower grows on branches so i prune to get them in the light, so yes you can absolutely prune an autoflower but you have to do it at the right time

What about this blue toof special? I should prune this bad baby? 15334805696721104704791.jpg
 
If it were mine I would prune it a little bit, it's a small plant go easy, before you switch over to bloom nutrients give it a final prune if needed, the way your plant is set up I would go real easy just enough to get some light in there and on your tops, this is up to you, it's a small plant, may be you should wait a bit see if it grows any taller you can allways wait until you switch to bloom nutrients and I usaly do a small prune around day 30, how old is that plant? It's up to you i would wait a bit to see if the plant gets taller since i dont know it's exact age.
