    Why is there leaves and new colas growing where pistils should be growing.

    If it's day 57, it's most certainly not an autoflower :( Time for 12/12

    Am I in Trouble?

    You don't need, or likely want, 12/12 for an autoflower.

    4 days of drying and my buds are crispy and crumble upon touch

    It's still not gonna dry to a crisp in four days at the conditions you mentioned.

    4 days of drying and my buds are crispy and crumble upon touch

    Again, 4 days to dust seems wholly improbable at the conditions stated. I've dried at 70f+ many times and still have never had anything dry in four days, let alone dry to such an extent it would crumble upon touching. A recently completed dry, first photo day 1, second photo a week later at a...

    4 days of drying and my buds are crispy and crumble upon touch

    Could you elaborate on the buds crumbling upon touch? That should be impossible with the environmental conditions mentioned in a mere four days I've found nugs in the corner of my drying tent that were 6 months old and they weren't crumbly. Something's amiss.

    Top leaves culring down and tacoing inward

    Sure looks like the stereotypical Nitrogen claw.

    4 days of drying and my buds are crispy and crumble upon touch

    That sums it up nicely One other possibility is that the big buds that crumble upon touching after 4 days do so because of botrytis. There's no world where the large buds will dry faster than the small buds. The crumbling after four days, if accurate, is troublesome.

    Liquid co2 in humidifier…will it work?

    A better light would have the most profound impact on quality and yields.

    Trying to hit that VPD! Leaf Temp?

    You did it right, the leaf temperature is needed to correctly calculate vpd. For the curious, using the simplified Tentens formula: vpsat = .61078 * 10**((7.5*leaftemp)/(237.3+leaftemp)) vpair = .61078 * 10**((7.5*airtemp)/(237.3+airtemp)) * (humidity/100) vpd = vpsat - vpair

    Beginner trying to learn

    Autoflowers are not tolerant of fuckups; the clock is ticking from day one. A mistake that may cost a week or two of recovery with a photoperiod can be cataclysmic with a an autoflower. Some people like autos, that's cool, but they're not the best choice for a first grow.

    Dwc

    Once the roots are well established, the netpot is irrelevant. At that point, its only function is to keep the plant from toppling over.

    Exausting outside of grow room

    One 8" fan would provide more cfm than three 4" fans, and do so with less noise.

    What would you pick led or hps?

    You should be able to look outside and confirm for yourself. Color temp at sunrise/sunset if very different than mid-day. Likewise, winter sunlight is more blue vs. summer; same principle. A different angle of incident results in a different spectrum.

    New grower wanting feedback/advice on current setup <3

    I'd be concerned that adding prefilter material to the inside would just further restrict airflow, but have never tried it myself. The filter will work either way, it's just that there's MUCH more surface area on the outside of the 'donut' vs. the inside.

    New grower wanting feedback/advice on current setup <3

    Not a big deal, but a carbon filter is more effective when pulling air through rather than pushing air out. The carbon filter will also last longer since the pre-filter is useless as configured in the pic.

    Drying tent at 60°/60% RH, leave 'em or jar 'em?

    The tent is consistently at 60/60 with no added help; only possible this time of year in my basement. I did have an exhaust fan running earlier when they were dumping more water, but now things have stabilized. I'm inclined to leave them so long as the tent stays at 60/60.

    Drying tent at 60°/60% RH, leave 'em or jar 'em?

    Good to hear, that was my assumption. I think once at 60/60 for a while, things equalize. I took a sample a few days ago, and another today, both have the same RH in a sealed jar. I'll try another in a few more days.

    Let's see your auto grows!

    My comment was a bit harsh but I'm happy to be wrong in this case. It's hard to tell the scale

    Ph issue?

    A picture with neutral light would help immensely.

    Drying tent at 60°/60% RH, leave 'em or jar 'em?

    I'm fine with jarring. My question is since my drying tent is at 60/60, what's the difference between putting them in a jar where the goal is 60/60? The tent is essentially one big jar at 60/60, so why remove them?
