Cant Figure This Out

I can not figure out what the problem is here. I'm at 7 weeks 4 days from seed and the plant is honestly looking like shit. I'm growing in FFOF soil using General Hydroponics calimagic, micro, and bloom, at 6 15 12 NPK. I make sure the ph is 6.5 everytime I mix. Humidity is kept at 60% with a humidifier. 1000W Light is 12 inches from the top, running 24/0. It is my first grow and I've been trying to fix this issue by flushing nutrients, only using ro water for a week, adjusting nutrient levels, and it just seems to be getting worse no matter what I do.

Just need a tad bit more info from you. What size pot? How wet is your medium?
how often are you watering & how much each time? ..Are my eyes playing tricks on me? lol Is that insect larvae on those leaves or trichs? lol

That is trichs growing on what seems like every single leaf lol. It caught me off guard throughout this grow as well. My pot is 4 gallons and I've been doing the "wait until the top two inches are dry" method for watering. I usually water it my full 1.5 liter water can each time. Two times with nutrients and one with ro water. Also I swapped from Miracle Gro to FFOF two weeks ago when I transferred it to this current pot. I just went to inspect it further and the new growth feels crispy as well as curling like it is in the pics.

I think what I'm gonna do is just do ro water with no nutrients for the foreseeable future since its fresh soil and an autoflower. What also concerns me is it doesn't "praise the sun" like it used to, stretching out its leaves to absorb the light but IDK if that is a real issue.

So I didn't know it was an autoflower until 4 weeks from seed so I had it on a 12/12 schedule and sadly stunted the growth already in the beginning. I then put it on 24/0. Also I tested the soil ph and it is between 6.5 and 7 same as the nute water. I guess I'll just do the ro water plan probably for the rest of this first grow and stunt the growth even more lol.

I guess my advice for other newbies is that if you're growing autos make sure you have an adequate size pot before 6 weeks in so you don't risk messing up the whole nutrient balance.

If you switched from MG to Fox Farms, AND you're adding nutes?!? Fox Farms should have plenty of nutes for the first 3 weeks to a month after transplant. Nute burn and nitro tox. I'd R.O. it for a week. Also if you're in soil STOP PH-ING YOUR WATER! Your micro biome should have buffers present to control your Ph.

Should I just yolo it and grow it until it herms and maybe makes seeds at this point? I have one clone of it but would like to have more and I'm a bit nervous about ordering seeds online cause I've never done it before. How much does the late flower herming damage the potency?

Its very stressed. To the point it doesn't know what to do. As in, put energy into flowering or grow more vegetation. You have many issues. Your irregular light schedule, you've locked out more immobile nutrients than mobile but both are limited and not being able to cycle nutrients within the cell walls of the plant itself and leaf shoots. I would scrap that. Root rot and bud rot are not far behind

Well I don't think its bad enough to scrap it. The bud is growing fine and looks healthy. The roots look white and fuzzy. If I'm wrong I'll come on here and admit it but I still have hope.

bud isnt growing fine,like said before looks like a reveg or too much n ,silly single leave growth in and about bud sites which are stretched.

You're right, sorry I'm distracted. What I meant was the bud isn't showing any signs of rotting just as the roots aren't showing any signs. Obviously it is very stunted the least of which being the fact that I FIM'd the top twice before I knew it was auto.

1: type of light
2 : distance from light
3: temperature
That's definitely a reveg. You had it on 12 12 then flipped it to 24. That might make it bush out like crazy. It also might have hermied it

I thought autos weren't affected by light schedule? The temperature has been kept at 70 degrees for its entire life except for the very beginning. The three things you mentioned are things I'm doing wrong? I've researched each one of those lol. I'm 99% sure there is no herming because I had a male that I chopped (regretfully) at 4 weeks so I know pretty well what bananas look like. These negative signs started between 2-3 weeks ago. Until then honestly it was a perfectly fine green plant.

How do you know it's an auto flower? At 4 weeks from seed on 12 12 it will bud. You put it to 24 it will reveg. That's a photo not an auto. You are now at least 11 weeks away from harvest. 3 weeks of veg 8 flower

I guess you're right I don't know 100%. All I have 100% is the bag had Forbidden Cookies written on it. Other than that there is absolutely no info on Google about this strain so i've just had to read forums on other strains. When I google Forbidden Fruit it says photo but GSC is auto so does that mean it could be either one? Also should I switch back to 12/12?
