So this is my first autoflower grow and so far it’s been good had a heat stress issue last week but plant seems to be back doing good. But the issue is that it’s not popping pistils as it being an autoflower I have it on a 24 hour light cycle. With the heat stress issue I hadn’t fed it for maybe the whole week 6 just ph balanced water to cool the roots etc. so Thursday was the day I fed it a higher dosage than usual since it was behind. I gave it 2.5 ml of grow 2.5 ml of ferts 4ml of bloom. And it grew bigger then it was but still no pistils... “update” from 2 weeks later So I was checking on the Plant and I realized that I didn’t switch the bloom light on so I thought to myself I was stupid but I turn it on last week and I’m checking the plant today and I’m checking where the pistils Come out of and I’m looking closely and I see what looks to be too small white hairs so is this well I think it is?
Pistils ??

You can drop to 20/4 without much difference.
Autos should stay on a static light schedule thru entire grow.

When i run autos - to maximize rooting i sometimes run a full 24/0 ( until sex ) to give that auto a full chance to grow and “ setup structure “.
Reason being , autos are hardwired in its lifespan.
So to give it the maximum growth upfront i run 24/0. Then you can either keep it same or do a minor drop to 20/4.
18/6 is the average time cycle for most autos.
Some growers swear by 24/0 but i usually let my leds take some down time off. Either way ALWAYS run 24/0 , 20/4 or 18/6.

Pistils will indicate sex and “ sexual maturity “ , auto will begin to stretch and “ preflower “.
Just let it do its thing.
Do not introduce Bloom nutes too early. I usually begin bloom nutes AFTER stretch ( about week 2 of flower ) since plant will now focus on flowering buds.

If blurple panel has switches - always run both on.
You want to squeeze any and all light from it . Each “ color “ channel runs too underpowered on their own.

Interveinal chlorosis, and rusty spots? Looks like both calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Which would be strange given you're feeding them cal mag. Could something be locking them out?
i have no idea how i could have either of those
fuck i just fed it and frogot to take out bloom is it possible i can flush it rn with just ph or will i overwater it ?

I agree with this. I think you’re locking out nutrients. If you’re feeding magnesium and showing deficiency symptoms that bad it’s probably a lockout.
what is your medium I didn’t see it anywhere?
