Hi All - Learning To Grow Autoflower

Now it's fully watered, tilt the pot up slightly and feel the weight - use that as a guide as to when to water
You can probably just top up with 1L per day for the next 3-5 days, then do another drench
Skip the seaweed until the next drench

In a few days time, can you get a photo from the side so we can see the stem/nodes/branching?
Also a good clear picture of the tip and the leaves will tell us a lot about the plant

Yes, if half the water is running through you can back off the watering for a day or two - not that it does any harm, it's just a waste
We are going to top this plant soon, so updated pics of the top of the stem would be handy so we can time it just right

Counting from the bottom, you want 3-4 pairs of shoots where the leaf stalk meets the stem
Then you need the tip to grow just enough so you can cleanly nip it out, leaving the two shoots immediately below intact
When you upload pics, I'll try to mark your pic showing you exactly where to cut
It's about 3 weeks old now and you want to top it before it starts to show pre-flowers

I think I understand I've got to pinch this bit out the middle? Is she ready for me todo that yet?

And leave the 2 small little ones to the side of it alone just pinch the central peace out?

Yes, that is correct - you just need to wait until you have enough stem showing at the top for a clean cut above the two top side shoots

*edit* you will need to judge when you can see enough stem to make a clean cut

Yes, the video shows exactly what taking the tip out looks like
I prefer to use bonsai clippers rather than snap it off though

Difficult to see in photos, but should be fine
Looks like you are going to start to see some flowers in the next 7-10 days

She's stil on 3ml on the 3th she goes to 4ml when should I add more seaweed? Also what about pk13/14 leave her alone for now?
 
Stay as you are for at least a week [3ml, no seaweed] while it recovers
Forget PK until further down the line
Just leave it to grow and don't be tempted to think that giving it more 'stuff' will make the plant even better - it won't
