Is this an Autoflower?

This plant is 2 months old from a seed I found in a bag. Is it just me or is this an Autoflower variety? I've been keeping the lights on so I don't understand the bud growth and frosting. Please excuse the horrible nutrient burns.

yup

Poor plant.You should have kept the seed until you could have actually done something with it.

I just read that Autoflowers aren't ideal for cloning so regardless I'll have to find a normal strain if I want a SOG. Apparently the clones keep the same age as the parent and die when the parent dies. I don't know but that's what I read.

Yes, that's true. What you cut off is on the same stage of life as what you cut from. It continues from that stage of life. It doesn't start over.

I dunno why but that made me laugh like hell when I read it.

Sounds pretty lucky if you ask me. Autos need less nutes but you didn't realise it was an auto.

Its been awhile and my plant lost all its fan leaves but I now think this is normal for autos. I added 1/3 strength nutes a few times and it got greener. I mistook a deficiency for a toxicity. My plant is 1-2 weeks away and I estimate a 1oz yield.

Would I be right in stating that the rule of thumb for a deficiency is yellowing and necrosis, while toxicities normally cause dark green and other colors?

An ounce dry ? Ok I'll bite. I see 2 ounces. The 1 ounce of prevention you should have taken and the 2nd one well..your going to need the whole plant dry

I've only grown one auto strain. I didn't lose all my fan leaves. You probably reduced you N too much, switched to a so-called "bloom" product too soon, too much.

I think your plant has more time left on it. But, I can't see the trichomes, so you know more about it than I do.

I wouldn't say that. growweedeasy has deficiency photos.
