Explosive vegging!! Blue mystic

Hey everyone, this is my first grow and I decided on blue mystic autoflower. I am on a 20-4 lighting schedule and am now 24 days in. My question is why is it so short and bushy??? There are leaves EVERYWHERE! I've never seen any pictures of plants this small and bushy before. She exploded and is vegging like crazy. Does Anyone know why this would happen? Any tips or comments? This is my first grow so please please comment!!!!

-Fox Farm Ocean Forrest soil
-1 five gallon pot
-257 cfl watts, (3 55 watt 2700K and 4 23 watt 5000K)
-fox farm grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom
-Mylar reflective lining

Nice plant +rep. Don't forget to give it clean water every once in awhile. Let it ride!

will do, do you have any idea why it is so small and bushy?

it will stay relatively small because its an auto flower and depending on genetics it will grow accordingly

Shes a cute little thing haha. Look healthy tho!

Haha thanks, what would you say for expected yield?? I'll post another pic tomorrow, she's gotten a lot bigger and a lot bushier!

Should see what a 400 plus watt "big girl light" can do. l love blue mystic autos.

How does it taste? I'm excited to test it

Its day 28 and she's getting pretty big! Had some heat issues which led to a few of the leaves burning :/ however that is now taken care of and she has started to flower!!

looking great, subbing i just order this strain waiting for it to arrive

Post a link to your grow journal on this thread once you get em and I'll make sure to tag a long and see how it goes

Fed the fox farm tiger bloom nutes for the first time and she is loving it! I've counted more than 13 budding sites now. I had to remove 2 fan leaves to make room for them, and she smells wonderful!
Nirvana says it maintains a neutral smell while growing, my entire appartment reeks! I had to buy a few of those citrus magic cat litter odor removers. They work wonderfully. My whole place smells like oranges now. They are only 4 dollars at Walmart and they cover the smell completely! I would highly recommend them to anyone with stealth in mind.

mmm how she smelling?

Very sweet but musty, not too much skunk but its there. Imagine mixing skunk with roses and blueberry, it's similar to that

Glad i came across this. One of the reasons I chose this to grow was because of the neutral smell. Guess that's out the door. Now i know what type of odor remover to get haha.

man that plant is awesome, not too late to get cuttings is it? that would make an amazing mother plant

I read not to clone auto flowers, have you tried before?

Ive noticed that a few of the under leaves have been dying and falling off, is this nute burn? Temps to high? Or is it just because they don't get as much light? Please comment, I'm a little worried

Just a guess bro, but I'd say lack of light and nutes are being used to feed flowers and the massive amount of foilage throughout! Someone with real knowledge will chime in, I'm sure. Looks good!!!
