thank you. I actually had been watering when it was light, just tried the probe for conformation. BTW .. this is an autoflower, not that it matters much. I get the impression most people grow photoperiod.

PS. those probes as already said are pretty poor

It still looks awfully green like it’s still getting too much N, or maybe it’s just the lighting? Imho CLDefinitely stretching, grew 8" in 7 days. 7 day with the added bloom light. Just finished weeks 6 @20" tall..

Probably not unless the plant wasn't getting enough light to satisfy its full daily limit.
For increased potency, many of us are using Drought stress

does that apply to autoflowers?
It does. I don't grow autos but there are some in that thread that do.

Right now I'm trying to keep as healthy as I can, with the limited live span I wouldn't try drought stress on an autoflower when I only have one plant growing
It's done toward the end of the plant's life so you already have most of what you'll get. The drought causes the plant to increase trichromes in an effort to protect itself and the research showed it increased potency by a material amount.
But, it's not for everyone. You grow your own grow

now it's showing signs of some Nitrogen toxicity. Some white tips and clawing of the leaves in the colas. I flushed it a day ago and cut way down on the nitrogen. It grew 2.5" in the 24 hrs after the flush, a total of 14" since it started flowering 2.5 weeks ago (now 25" tall).

I was in the 8th week using the 3 part FF nutes, Big bloom (0-0.5-0.7) 3 tsp, grow big(6-4-4) 2 tsp and tiger bloom(2-8-4) 2 tsp..... I eliminated the Grow Big but it still get some "N" from the tiger bloom but 1/4 of what it was getting. last week

The plant has gone from 10.5" to 27" since it started flowering, quite a bit more then my last Northern light auto (maybe all the 'N'). The light is getting closer but still ~15" away and I can't raise it anymore. How long can the stretch on auto's last? I thought it would have stopped by now.

I just read an article that said Nute schedules like the FF i'm using are meant for photoperiod and it you us them on autos you should cut it down to 1/2 or less the strength, what are your thoughts?
They also said the schedules are meant for neutral soil, the FF Ocean Forest soil i'm using probably not neutral ?
That's a good rule of thumb ! Historicaly folks say that they use only 1/2 amounts on auto's . Not ot worry about "hot" soil with FF - have used Ocean Blend with Happy Frog (50-50 mix) Never NO issues and I use nutrients full stenght at times. I f you are still on the fence use 1/4 amounts Hope this helps - Peace !
An article such as would be published in something for gardeners and growers where the author is willing to post their real name? Or an article which is a posting on a Cannabis growing forum like this one where remaining anonymous is recommended for privacy and security concerns.
Did they explain what a "neutral soil" was?

Great. Thank you.
I just now made a shortcut to it and will be checking it out. I am toying with the idea of doing a few auto-flowers outside this summer. Not completely sure but it is an idea I am kicking around.
