Defoliate and supercrop if needed but I'd wait. They are flowering so most/all of the vertical stretch should be over.
What happens when a auto is stunted? Do they fail to finish or do they take longer to finish? I haven't heard/seen what happens and these are stunted by a week and a half. The big plants with the rust spots is what im referring to.

ok ive run out of nutes. So im looking for a good all around nute that can be used in both coco and amended soil. I know the amended soil only gets nutes in flower if I transplant up every 30 days. I did some research and its too much to choose from for a newbie. Ive gotten to many skipped heart beats and im not looking foward to any more lol. Whats you guys recommendations. Thx
Ive only used dyna grow grow and dyna grow foliage pro, both worked fine for me by themselves in coco and soil.

autos that are stunted will not be as big when they finish, you don’t get to control the veg period via light cycles, the plant controls it

Ok nice i stunted these by a wk or 2 and they are 30"+. I guess im worried about the flowers not ripening to completion. They've had great growth so far onto flower but it seems to be slowing down with little flower development.
@OneMoreRip has no experience with autos.........or anything else for that matter.
Take whatever he says with a grain of salt.

Haha thats why I told him that they are 30"+. That alone cancels out his knowledge and shows that lack of. All the info vaguely says throw them away but doesn't really explain why.

So do the autos finish ripening or do they give immature flowers when stunted?
The plant will finish ripening if you let it. Just don't cut early. If you stunted it will take longer. I fucked up and my autos are on week 17. Finishing up now. I'll be on week 21 when I'm done harvesting probably. I harvest the top and let the bottom catch up.

Nothing will be immature if you let it mature haha
 
Apparently you didn't bother to go to the website I provided in post #6.
Your coco is bone dry.
Coco should be fed every day to substantial run off.........this isn't soil.
Never give plain water.
Never let the coco dry out.

If you continue to treat it like soil instead of coco..........you will fail.
Sorry, i have to ask, does this apply to just plain coco? Or any kind of coco mix? I treat my coco mix like soil....with no problems. Im on a F W W W F schedule, but every single watering they get Calmag

When you grow in soil you feed the bacteria. Bacteria eat the food and break it down. This then feeds the plant.

This is why you feed water water. Need to let the bacteria do their thing.

In coco you don't feed the bacteria you feed the plant. Coco and hydro are the same. So you are supposed to feed every day. That is just how it is. Not saying you can not or should hot. Just not the normal way to do coco.

[/QUOTE nice, the plants are huge with 8-10 tops on each. It dawned on me that I might bebin trouble seeing folks get hit with "start over". I started 2 photos a couple of weeks ago in mother earth terracraft. Im so over this coco/auto grow. Its to much for a newb. This forum is a god send but it can only do so much.

Your autos will finish like any other, veg is critical and your way past that, autos have come far so l dont think you have to worry. When l grew them potency was still an issue. And yes excess can cause lockout.
