You can still be about a week or more away at that if you want to be exact really invest in something heck even most modern camera phones can magnify well enough to get a rough picture of what's going on
By saying not to listen to people without giving actual proof of what they are saying is incorrect suggests that there is a leaning to only listen to people with only big beautiful plants thus leaning towards elitism and I didn't say he was wrong just to not offhand ignore people
Whoosh that's pretty elitist while I agree some people are totally talking out their asses you shouldn't discount any info you hear until you prove it yourself but what do i know I'm just someone that got 3+ ounces off of every auto on his very 1st grow totally making up his own organic dry...
Im on my 3rd auto grow and from what I've learned is it's a gamble and usually an unnecessary one (especially with fast buds) some genetics respond very well to it , others not so much but usually it's far better just to aggressively LST to your pots edges and really get as much photosynthesis...
