Having some experience with autos I will humbly add my 2c.:

Autos, in my experience, yellow toward the end of their life cycle. This isn't abnormal. You're also at week 10, the yellowing you're seeing is likely nutrients being flushed from the leaves and being used in bud production. (Buds require carbohydrates, long and short chain sugars).

Additionally, that yellowing is nothing I'd be alarmed by at this stage.

Autos do not tend to yellow at the end of their growth cycle. They yellow when they experience deficiencies. Yellowing is abnormal.

That plant has over 30 days to finish.

It looks like the start of nitrogen deficiency.

Respectfully, that depends entirely on how you're growing and finishing too. I flush 1-3 weeks from harvest and focus more heavily on supplemental carbs and specific non-nitrogen nutrients during that stage.

Photos seem to handle it far better.

The problem with autos (amongst other auto issues) is there is little to no recovery time with them like you get with photos.

All the auto grows I have seen here are fucked once they get a deficiency due to its 'bodyclock' but you are the 'auto queen' and know best :hump:
Never claim to be anything. Most auto grows on here are done by new growers so many errors are made.

Deficiencies can be corrected the same as photos.

Yes, errors made in vegetation can impact final yield as being autoflowers they will start flower based on genetics and can't be controlled.

Two things... once you pass the stretch phase there is no difference between auto and foto in sense of recovery when you make some mistake. And... If you are not able to veg the plant without issues, than you most likely wont be able to flower her at at all. The real fun ussually begins with early flowering when the plants start to be picky and stress sensitive.
