Hi this is my one autoflower.
Under a 50w amazon led.
Looks very skinny to me but it's a learning curve! Just so much to learn.
I also put it in a very small pot.
This is week 5 and just wanted other people's thoughts.
I have a very cheap set up so I'm realistic about the yield.It got tall quick when stared flowering and I've only 7-8inch before she touches the light!
Thanks so much,Dave

looking good

any bud too far from artificial light might be larf, lower branches and buds would have benefit from some LST with a 50W light.

she looks perfect.light is doing its job. your just not doing LST.indoor light comes only from above.and farther it is the weaker it gets.and it loses energy really fast with each cm.get a ppfd meter phone app and see how wide you can go and still get good light and then next time train until you reach those corners

Thanks so much for the advice!
I did not know you can get an app to check ppfd. It says 500ish with the app .
So dose that mean I can lower the light?
The lower branches are much lower.
The instructions with the light say it dose 2800 at 6inch from the light?

no low stress training you usually avoid topping autos:

bending the plant during the early stages so light is closer to all the buds.

the app doesnt give out perfect readings soo if you plan to run on the edge it really depends on the type of phone.and also if you will check ppfd then you have to find your type of lamp or it will lie.i do lux because that works for anything but lux is not as good as ppfd......

I doubt you will be able to bend over that stem. OP will need to be very careful working that stem. Supercropping where you manipulate the stem to loosen it up would work as long as the op takes a lot of time working the stem until it bends. Be in a hurry and he will snap all his growth right off.

You light is also sub optimal. a good 100 watt panel will run an auto fine. $65
.welcome to the Farm
ps super cropping takes a while to manipulate the stem. My fails using it were from miving to fast. It can take 10 minutes to get a stem ready.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to let this one go as she is as I'm positive that stem will snap. Great info for next time.

How's this looking to you guys/girls.
It's very near the light and I've got brown leaf tips! I did as said before put her in a small pot. I'll definitely try a bit of training next time too.any thoughts?
Love from the 🇬🇧

Thanks for your reply it really helps.
Glad I found this site.
Definitely going for a better led and bigger pot. My first autoflower was 5 inches tall so it's an improvement! But the little plant sure was nice smoke still.
Big thanks
Dave
