Dunno if I've said it before, but I'm on 20/4 light cycle. There is some consensus for this for autoflower strains, though some swear by 18/6. 12/12 will bud size // overall yield.
Had my Auto AK's on 20/4 start to finish. They turned out huge! (link in my sig)
Hey guys how you been been a while since I checked up on your thread and first off this is your FIRST GROW, basically the mistakes you go through now if learned from will be avoided in the future. I too had an issue with nutes and I kinda saw you were going down the nute problem path and tried to advise you of it in an earlier post. What is the NPK of your flowering nutes and your foxfarm soil? Another thing to be aware of is nutrient buildup. As seen in reiss's pics your's should be developing at a better pace and I believe its too much fert. You have probably 4-5 weeks left in harvest.

Advice
Flush Heavily w/purified water(poland spring just not tap)for a week. Do not oversaturate with your pot size in comparrisson to your plants your roots need some rehibilation so water during this week when the pot is near complete dryness if possible stretch the watering so that you can uniformally water them(water them all and let sit about 3 days(4's pushin).After this week since you use nutes if possible get your hands on beastie blooms from fox farm they increase the bud size around weeks 4-6. Get your hands on azomite its is like centrum for your plants and its organic and this will add any macronutrients and vitamins your plant has been lacking it will increase your yeild guaranteed. I use it in a supersoil and in a watering mix (2tsps per gallon of purified water every other watering) I would begin using it as soon as possible and it isn't hard to find nor expensive. Lastly stray far away from pesticides of any kind they slow plant growth by weeks if applied incorrectly and most do not have the intentions or thoughts of how this will affect marijuana. Alternative to this remove all plants from pots in a dark area and wipe all growing related materials(pots, measuring cups, growbox/grow area)with one of those 99%germ and bacteria killing wipes found at any target/walmart. I personally have 3-4 ladybugs in my growbox and they are always searching under leaves for mites to eat so if you can get your hands on a few they are a natural pesticide in effect. I hope it isn't a disease because if it is it is within the plant and maybe too late. I hope you take from my post what you need to aid in your grow. Keep getting high and getting bye its ruff out there
p.s. here is the link for the azomite look it up and make your own call

I'm looking in to this and considering it, I will let you know.
Hey man how's it pulling? lol, can't wait till we can sit back skim through our journals enjoying the fruits of our labor. You have potential but I think based on your journal you believe nutes are the way to good bud and thats not the case. Without getting preachy bro do not nute anymore. Now your thinking well I flush often so whats the prob?We are soil growers meaning no matter how much we flush there will always be nutrient residue left in our mediums thats why we stop nuting 2-3 weeks before harvest. The molasses are used to replace the nutrients during these 2-3 final weeks not to be used with them. They are to give the plant energy and to use the remaining nutes in the soil so feeding while doing so is counter productive. I appreciate the rep I was a newbie and had a horrible harvest once so I know the feeling of is my bud good or not. Keep getting high and getting bye its ruff out there
