What can you tell us about how you're growing it? Type of light? Humidity? Temperature? Nutrients? Watering frequency?

150w full spectrum 24 hours a day light. 70 degrees unsure of exact humidity but seems to be good in here, fox farm nut big bloom and grow big mixed in with my 5.5 pH water. Water when needed top layer is dry and finger test in soil. Don't really have the watering dialed in could be the problem first grow so learning as I go.

Big Bloom is for feeding P and K to your plants while they are flowering. If you are using Fox Farm, their Grow Big should have the N it needs at that stage. But it looks like you're growing in an organic soil, maybe living soil, and if you are... then you might not need to add any nutes until they begin to show signs they have used up the nutes in the soil.

These girls are being grown in EB Stone's Recipe 420 Bhang. I'm at day 67 since they left the clone nursery and went into soil and the only thing they've been given is water. Apparently there's some debate whether or not you really need to pH for living soil, but I'm trying to be as natural as I can with this grow, and so I do pH my water with a couple capfuls of vinegar in the watering can to put it in the same range as natural rainwater. Where I'm going with this is sometimes we are throwing in nutes they don't need because we are told they need them by the people who are in the business of turning a profit selling fertilizers, while Mother Nature has grown healthy cannabis plants without supplements for hundreds of thousands of years with the nutrients found naturally in the soil.

A final note about the girls. They're photos, so they do get a couple hours of artificial light in the shed at night because we are in Winter Equinox. When I'm ready to flip, they stop going in the shed at night. I'm only holding off to confirm the next generation in the clone nursery has taken root to keep the genetics going.

Sorry I went on an organic rant without actually replying... Plant in the pic looks healthy to me. Maybe not happy with the light level, temperature or water. Might double check you're using the right fertilizer for where it is in its growth cycle but it doesn't show any obvious problem of that.

Thank you. Any advice on watering autos in soil? For the stage she's in?

Overwatering tends to be a bigger overall problem in all gardening. Soil composition is a variable as to how much water it holds. I personally don't like to stick my fingers into the soil to feel if it needs water because I'm poking through healthy roots. I'll scratch the top, feel the bag weight and check the leaf behavior to help tell me when they need water.
