Easy man!
Your grow is coming along really nicely, I would say you are maybe 1/2 way there! :)
Sorry I haven't been around to help you out, my laptop screen decided to flicker constantly so I haven't been on it much.
Got an iPad 2 today so back in business.
I got to page 10 and realised you got things under control, so here's some info for you that might help.

I have noticed for the most part the plants have been underfed- you have a PPM meter, use it and here is something simple to remember.

Idealy you would like to see the water level drop and the ppm stay the same. This means your plants are taking up all the nutrients they need at a steady rate. If your ppm drops from let's say 700 to 600 overnight, I would say it it quite hungry and would up to 800ppm sometimes 900ppm, checking again in the morning.

Believe it or not, you are doing it the right way.
Much better to be slightly hungry and perk up than be nute burnt and try and heal itself.
An auto shouldn't be trimmed and deffinately not topped.
Like was said before, you want to grow as big and fast as possible!

You are gunna learn a lot from this grow, just stick at it and remember your mistakes in order to learn from it.

If you want some more help swing on by my thread fella. ;)
.....you may find a very useful Post #64:roll:

Peace

great info.. i was thinking that his ppm's were super low, but i've never grown an auto, so wasn't sure how many nutes they could handle, but i was thinking more in the neighborhood of what you said..
and like you said, he's going to learn a shit ton by this grow, and all of his future grows will be that much better..

TDooda, thanx for coming by......nice to have u back......ya know i thought I was under feeding her a bit, but if I go much over 300 -350 she wilts to fuk in 24 hrs and burns in 72 then I have to flush with plain ph'ed water for a day or 2...now I have a flushing agent so I can if I get caught up and before it gets too bad, if it ever makes it there.....but yeah she likes it low...350 max 225 on the low and it comes down in a night or 2 after res change to a round 200 or so and holds there for 3 maybe about 5 days and then res change around 7 to 10 total.. I have flushed mid week because of burn twice now...I know im light ppm wise but how much should i come up..if I go over 350 she'll burn, or so it did about a week ago...and yes I am guilty of trimming my losses........glad to have u back TDooda and also thanx very very much for that link I feel i will be reading it over and over.......to obsorb all its message....thanx again

I noticed she was showing sex on day 21 which was 2/27/11 to day is day 48, 3/26/11. so if i am right she has been flowering for 27 or 28 days give or take...so 4 weeks goin into 5 weeks of flowering.......the package the bean of this plant came in say 7 weeks flower 10-11 week from seed..so I say I have at least least least 4 more weeks......(I'll take a pic of it and show u all here in a lil while) cause I slowed her down by not fully feeding her........I cant get the ppm right for her w/o burning or hurtin...so if I get too high over 350 she burns so I stay low like 250..I should be able to go higher...so wtf and y cant I do this increase safely w/o pissing her off????????

I'm not 100% sure myself but I'm sure I've read somewhere that auto's wont take a lot of nutes & additives compared to reg varieties, not sure why now can't remember right mate sorry. have you tried adjusting the ph?? cos ph levels can cause nute burn if too high/low. Remember to check both your res' and your run off too ;-)

I Do and no she wont take alot at all....I dont know how to read the signs yet....the whole run off....I take some from the drain tube and ph test also ppm, and I do this before and after I mix nutes I only use the schedule for a ref to know whut to use whut week...ya know not their mix amounts..i figure out whut 1/4 strength would be the n go from there...I love google.......the ph right now is 5.9 with ppm of 200......she started w/ ppm of 250 then it rose to 325 over night andd the ph rose to 6.0 before bed 6.3 when I got up. I brought it back down to 5.8 and it held there till today when I checked and 5.9 .I should prolly just keep doing whut im doin and not fuk with it too terrible much.....ya know it's worked so far.....the whole less is more idea..and if it aint broke. idk.....kinda flustered w/ it right now

Don't let it stress you too much mate, for best ph results I find staying within these guidlines helps -
Hydro/Areo ~ 5.5 - 5.9
Soilless ~ 5.8 - 6.3
Soil ~ 6.4 - 7.0
Your ph will constantly go up/down all the time in your res/runoff but staying inbetween these mesurements will see you right. hope this helps I'm pretty baked tonight so let me know if I'm makin no sense:leaf::peace:
