Auto Recovery Confusion

Hi Guys,

I had this Easy Ryder Autoflower and like about 4 weeks in it looked like this:


People where telling me its OVER. you will yield like 10 grams...
I managed to make a recovery on the plant
and the shit plant above became this at harvest time yielding 260 - 280 wet:



My question is... Howcome everyone says if you screw up with an auto then its over and you may as well throw it out?

I almost threw this plant in the bin but decided to keep it just to see what would happen. boy am i glad i kept it going. Howcome it was able to recover like this?

This goes against everything ive learned about Autos so far.
Im expecting like 60 - 70 Grams Dry.
so thats about 2 1/2 oz dry roughly

You done really well with that.
What did you do to make it revive from the first picture.?
Autos get slaughtered all the time about certain issues.
I grow autos and I'll never go back to photos.
My plants have exceeded the plants original genetics on what you will receive of the plant e.g per m2.
Big pots and the right nutes.

Hey dude.
Im using These nutrients during flowering:
https://www.starkeayres.co.za/garden-care-product-information.php?cat=5&id=96
its roughly10-20-30

I had a ph lockout because i was using a soil ph tester and my medium is actually Coco
i moved to ph drops and the issues dissipated almost over night. the plant perked up and within a week was back on track!

Then all i did from that point was keep my fingers crossed and hope like hell and just watered her once a day with veg nutes
she grew to like 35cm and then flowered hard for a further 5 or 6 weeks.

i dont know why it recovered - but ive heard that AK47 is a hardy strain.
maybe its the ak47 that made it bounce back.

This auto did way better than any photo ive done and it almost died first.
Ill stick to autos forever thanks

And yes dude. from my early smoke tests this seems to be better than any photo ak47 ive had before. We smoked what was left on the scissors... this crazy black and green stuff and it whipped us stupid haha.

oh and just so everyone knows.
I have no clue what im doing.
this is literally monkey see monkey do.
I saw people doing this stuff on this forum and i copied and crossed my fingers haha

Most of the time i was just like... is this even going to work? LOL
