Looks like ur on to something! Nice Start!This is my first cannabis grow ever, but I have had a good amount of experience growing other plants and vegetables to rely on.
I decided on doing autoflower at first. This is the main plant I have now which is just over 6 weeks old. I started lst very early and had good results until I pushed it too far and broke off what was one of the four main stalks maybe 3 weeks into the grow (i also snapped a two week old seedling in half the same day) . After that I decided to lst more gently and then stopped altogether at about 5 weeks and just let the thing grow.
I am left with what I think is a good looking plant, but this is my first time so I would like anyone's thoughts on ways to improve. I am wondering if I kept the lights too close for too long and now it is too short....and if anyone could give a very rough estimate of how much yield I may get.
I am currently researching the curing process...I have never done that before either and I am looking to buy or build some sort of box/cabinet that has odor control...
anways, plant is a critical purple autoflower in 5 gallon felt pots in a 4x4x8 tent with ventilation/carbon filter a humidifier, some ff nutes and my a blend of soil of my own that I made from ff ocean forest, pearlite, azomite, worm castings, and live red wiggler worms.

Hey man you learn as you go and each cycle strain depending will have different needs, ultimately it’s will be you taking notes and deciding what works for you via smoke tests!! Keep it going and do the best that you can. So attributes are harder to control as each environment plays a role in how your end result turns out.thanks Jack. My temps are too high (mid-high 80s) and my humidity too low (mid 30s). If i increase my fan to lower temps the humidity goes too low, but the temp/humidity sensor placement may not be the best. I see the humidifier vapor billowing out around the plant(s). I have four plants in various stage of development right now, Critical Purple, Jacker Herer, Cheese, and Lambs breath(bread? I find two names for this one...).im pretty sure I have overkill on the lights in a 4x4x7 tent but the plants seem to love it although I guess i dont know if they would love it more with less light(less heat and then higher humidity). I am still tinkering with the airflow, humidifier, fan speed etc...but this should be normal for a first time grower i think. it doesnt help I live in MI and have ambient outdoor temps switch from -15f to 45f in two days even though this is an indoor grow. it really screws with the incoming air temp and humidity...
Some new pics here. She is starting to drop a lot of leaves...what is the normal amount to drop around now? I think the plant is saying she has grown enough and now only wants to focus on flowers. that being said I have been trimming these leaves from here and wound up with a bigger pile than i expected.

Thanks for your input smithsjunk, I figure I want to create a little micro soil climate in a pot that is as close to nature as possible...I have always gone outside in the summer during drizzling nights and collects worms to put into my 25gallon pots for tomatoes and they always seemed to love it so adding worms to my pots seemed like common sense. and tahnk you very much to you Jack og for your continued input, You were totally right about my overwatering causing the droop earlier...I guess I thought since I had fabric pots I could put in as much as I want without ill effects. I am still learning a little thing here and a little thing there everyday about controlling an indoor grow and the input from this site is invaluable.View attachment 856410 View attachment 856409
Some updated pics, sorry they are not great just using my phone. the flowers are starting to bulk up and the colas are really starting to take shape. does anyone have an estimation on how long until I should harvest?
