Other than the burnt tips I'm only feeding her 2 times a week and she has had burnt tips from the beginning other than first 2 weeks lol I guess she is very sensitive to nutrients only feeding is 1/4 of nutrients suggested fox farm dirty dozen line of nutrients how you think she is coming along 3 1/2 weeks into flowering diesel autoflower strain received_472090446757413.jpegreceived_622381795234748.jpeg

Hard to tell with the limited info, but, she LOOKS healthy to me.
Are you ph'ing when you water/nute?
Do you have and use a ppm meter?

Keep doing whatever you doing though.
She looks pretty.

Great job. Maybe could lower the temp or raise humidity a touch going by the way the serrations are starting to all curl upwards, but that could be to do with the main top being so much higher than the rest of the canopy can't see the lower leaves clear enough to tell. No biggie though.
It's cool to just do an untrained 'au naturel' grow first off, gives you a solid base to work from.

I ph the water useing drops seeing that my ph pen went crazy on me dont know the ppm dont have a meter money is little tight right now to get a meter and new ph pen useing what I got right now temp stays around 72 to 77 at the floor I got fan to blow around the top to try to keep hot spots if any cooler around the top the burner tips have been there from day one when used the nutrients I'm only useing 1/4 strength of the fox farm dirty dozen nutrient line I'm trying to keep her the healthiest I can until she finishes I had 2 other plants photos before this one I used same nutrients but not autos I had to cut down for reasons that didn't have tip burns and I was useing the nutrients stronger on them with the ph drops so I'm just guessing she is sensitive to all nutrients I'm just hoping I get a decent yeild off her...

Boet, that plant looks great.
Just keep feeding lightly and its gonna get super fat.
I can already see that main cola is gonna get quite a bit fatter still.

id say it has like 4 weeks to go. maybe 3 if u lucky.
But thats good. because it means its gonna get really fat.
once you stop seeing lots of white hairs (calyx) then you know its ending and you have like 1 - 2 weeks left.

Ok cool I didn't not know that so the white hairs will disappear and I should start flushing ?
Looks to me like 5 weeks to go. Don't go by white hairs, there purpose is to grab pollen out of air to make seeds. Go by the trichomes. You can use a pocket microscope to look at them but i just look at the entire plant as a whole and when the plant is ripe the trichomes will look milky and not clear but that comes with experience. Don't flush, just give plain water last few waterings same amount of water as usually given, it's called fading.

The hairs wont disappear but they will begin to change color. Best to check a few Crystal's under a good magnifier for crystal changes.

I just got a magnify glass today to check also I think be doing 2 waters with beastie bloom kinda looks like I little over done it so I got 9 gallons of distilled water to flush would you add the regular tiger bloom at the end of the flushing or wait until it drys out I was going to add 1/4 tsp of tiger bloom to give her little flowering nutrients and do regular feeding after it dries out

Your Magnify glass what times or X is it? Most are only 5x, i have a 15x but you really need a 60x loop to really get good look.

I wouldn't flush them from a small amount of burn, the damage is done and is unreversable. Just water when they dry out with a light feeding around 500ppm.
