Help/advice with auto

Hi guys, I hope someone can give me some advice/help. I have this auto that broke soil on 7/12.

Plant -> Royal Bluematic auto from RQS

Soil -> biobizz light mix

Feeding -> I started with 1/4 of the dosis on the biobizz feeding chart and I increased to the full dosis (fish mix is the only one that I'm not giving at this stage)

Temps and RH -> temps between 22°C (lights off) and 26°C (lights on); RH between 40%-50%

Lights -> spiderfarmer SF2000 (60 cm above canopy)

PH -> between 6.4 and 6.8

Light schedule -> 20h on/ 4h off

Lot's of airflow and exhaust always on.

She was a bit stunted in January because of the low temps (2-3 weeks).
As you can see by the pics, the buds have a strange structure, it looks (to me) that is some kind of mutation/genetics problem. What do you guys think?
She's shooting white pistils all over the place and she started to fatten up some weeks ago but it looks like she keeps on growing. Should I just stop feeding biogrow at this point? Or keep the same feeding schedule?
If you need some more info just ask.
Thanks in advance

What I am going to say is my 2 ¢ …

First know that autos = unpredictability. Sometimes they do well , other times not so much.
That “ strange “ growth is what’s called foxtailing - it can happen from genetic expression ( good and bad ) or even environmental.

Not to familiar with Bio biz line but happen to see many “ problem posts “ pop up running that particular line.
However , if that plant was mine I would do this failsafe move.…. Drop light cycle to 12/12 or even 10/14 to Force Finish it.
Increase the off time to push the bloom ( tricking plant into thinking shorter days ) , I have done it to see whether to keep it or cull it.

It may have also stalled . I would give it 2 weeks under a regular flowering cycle - if no change dump it.


Sometimes you may have to pull the plug.

Thanks a lot for your input. I still have another plant in the tent that is about to finish and once it's done I will change the light cycle like you said. I'm seriously thinking about changing my grow to photos instead of autos.

I grow both, but that leads to multiple tents. I have 3. "Clones and seedlings", "Active Veg and Autos" and "Flower" they keep me busy. The one thing I would add to @Budzbuddha would be to inspect the deeper trichs. If they're done below the calyx of the new white pistils, then she's done. It is not uncommon for some strains to throw new growth late in flower, as a panic response to lack of pollination. If she's done just trim off the newer white pistils, and use them for hash or edibles.
