No laughing don’t worry I get it. I’m OCD with a side a supersized side of neurotic.

You could do a light defol of the larger fans. People get pissy about removing the solar panels to the precious buds but there’s data that suggests pruning increases the photosynthetic rate
OR
Just leave it and enjoy!

I could come up with other options if you want so you aren’t faced with a dichotomy. Just let me know 🤣 (shit I said I wouldn’t laugh but that one was laughing at myself)
I will be spending some time with her today at lights on and making a pass at lower floppy fan leaves.

I like to pick a line 1/3 up the plant and take ever big floppy fan below that first. Then go from there.
It’s a feel thing and you’ve got skills Amy so you got it. Worst case you stunt her a bit or remove bud sites but I don’t think you’ll go that far.

The internodal spacing is so tight that 1/3 is a very fine line to height of canopy. I’ve been rustling the leaves once or twice each lights on to check for condensation (there’s always a few leaves).

The short rider continues to look more deficient/overfed with her leaves discoloring more and becoming dry and brittle. She has been watered with Epsom salts added and fed just once with Neptune’s Harvest Fish and Seaweed fertilizer since her tips started looking a bit burnt. She is finishing up week 11, and is supposedly 10-11 weeks seed to harvest. Everyone else looks ok. Purple punch is looking a little better but still not happy. Gelato autoflower looks great and so I said fuck it and topped her. I did take some leaves off the indica yesterday. She never seems bothered.

If anyone can weigh in on the short rider autoflower and it’s deficiencies/crispiness, I’d appreciate it.

Others can jump in, but to me that looks likes a plant that wants less nutes because it's working something out. Any ph numbers?
Being fed/watered with about 6.6 ph. Haven’t done a soil slurry test at this point because well, she’s just about done.

Over fed look at the leaf tips burnt looks like it’s hungry A .
The tips have been burnt for weeks. And so I backed off on bloom and went back to Neptune’s Harvest Fish and Seaweed to finish her out and hence, now there is a lot of yellowing along with what appears to be magnesium deficiency. I know she looks hungry. Her leaves are drying out and getting crispy and curled.

1.5 tsp per gallon of water.
That's pretty heavy I'd think, mostly because I've heard autos are pickier eaters and tend to require less nutrients altogether.
The high range of Epsom I'd read was 1tsp, but then I was advised 1/4 - 1/2tsp was adequate.
I've heard it's hard to overdo, too, but it maybe the combination of the high end epsom dosage and autoflower requirements that might be getting it into the overfed range.

I had only been doing half a tsp and it was something @Aqua Man had posted.
