These are Autos, so shouldn't that prevent reveging?

Yes, but...

If you google "can autoflowers reveg," you'll see a lot of reports of things like this happening. I've seen suggestions that if you start them under very short photoperiods, they can get confused and start acting like photos.

OK I will bring her in at night and put her in the dark. Eventually I will get an indoor setup, but for now, it's outdoor for me. I really like the finished product. There is something about sun grown weed that I really enjoy. Its just feels brighter if that makes sense.

At this point Fox Farm Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom. Any suggestions on what to change to?

Don't add anything but FF. Stick to schedule, don't feed twice a week. FF is balanced, if you add boosters go very light. Maybe 2 tbls of Epsom salt per gallon during regular watering. One time or once a month. Mg is right under NPK in importance.

Except for when to flip and faster grow time, treat autos just like photos.

I’m learning a lot of new stuff here along with you, Pete! Learning what happens to an auto that is grown in the winter! Cold, short hours of daylight, and what hours they are are a lot weaker in the winter than they are in the summer! Looks like we are seeing what it all adds up to! Keep playing brother! It’s fun! I started out about five years ago with growers choice! Nobody took plastic back then! But the reviews on trust pilot were pretty low! Like under three stars! Mostly from delayed shipping and sending autos instead of photos and vice versa! Eventually, you didn’t even have the option to rate them! All of a sudden they weren’t on trust pilot anymore! But they went through a real rough time back then with all the bad reviews! Maybe they’ve cleaned it up by now! That was kind of the beginning of flu!

It's incredible how many variables there are and how they can all effect that plant and the end result. I find it fascinating. I am a huge wine enthusiast and similar to cannabis, there are in infinite number of variables that effect the flavor of wine. Terroir if you are familiar with the term, is the combination of environmental factors that affect the flavor of wine. I really need to get an indoor setup to complement my outdoor growing and then maybe start cloning.

I hear you! It doesn’t take much to throw things off when growing wine grapes! I lived about 25 miles from the Napa Valley and they were always howling about something affecting their crops! Too much water, not enough water, mold, and fungus, even smoke from wildfires could ruin a vintage! I think now they even have big machines that go up and down the rows and give the vines a dose of UV to control certain things!

FF = Fox Farm

NPK = Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium

Mg = Magnesium

Napa takes it to extremes since the juice is so expensive. I wish I didn't enjoy it so much. I would probably be retired....lol

Half an hour from Napa? I used to live outside of Alexander Valley in Windsor. Small world.

Why they don’t widen that stretch I’ll never know. Around the marshlands I get but the rest of it? Plenty of real estate to do so.

Marin and San Francisco counties are two of the most affluent counties in the nation! I was always more of a Marin city kind of guy! A ghetto right in the middle of affluence! L O L the view of San Quentin as you were driving up, was always a stark reminder to, be careful dumbass!

I haven’t had either of those in over 20 years but that pain I can still feel. Thunderbird and sunlight is a terrible combo.
