I have some autos going as well. They will be 8 weeks tomorrow from sprout, they started flowering at 3 weeks under 24 hours of light.

I'm running 18/6 cause I got some white widow fast plants growing as well I'm in week 4 right now. I was only using the 25w for the first 17 days so it's a little behind

I'm not sure what you mean by fast plants, do you mean photoperiod? I think you will be fine with 17 days at 25 watts.. I would definitely give her more light now. What size is your space?

It's the strain of white widow it is.it has a shorter flowering time. You can look it up it's call white widow fast by seedsman. Im growing in a 2x2x8 tall (it's a closet which I put a wall in). The white widows started off in my 160w actual setup only the auto started with the 25w ( sorry for the blurple light )

Also transplamted a few days ago so she's looking a little down but she will bounce back. Next auto I grow I'll start in the 5 gallon buckets

Only on my first grow. I started to show pistols around 5 weeks. Attached is a zoomed in image taken earlier today at roughly 6 weeks. Will also attach photo of all four of my autos all at 6 weeks 4 different strains. Switched over to hps today.

I didnt have time to look at that fast strain yet. You're going to need way more light then what you have to flower even in that small space. How do you know that your light is a 160 actual watts?
Do not take this as me picking on you I'm just trying to help but that light you have is more for a small herb garden, meaning it's really for basil and others herbs as such. You might be able to flower with your light but to he honest I doubt you will even get an oz a plant with it. You might think that's fine but all the time and money put into those plants for maybe under 2 oz if your lucky is really not worth it. I would do what you're doing now as to learn but I would definitely invest in another light in the future. You could use the one you have as supplemental once you get a new one. With that size space I would not go with hid lights as you will have lots of issues with the heat. Personally I would go with led again but something a bit better. There are a few options as far as led go' that you could use for that space. I also would not grow more than 2 plants in that size tent, even that is a bit much. Each plant is going to take up a 2×2 area at least. Depending on strain you're going to want between 60 and 75w a square foot. So let's say you stay with 60 w a square you're going to need at least 240 actual watts from the wall. That would be good for an indica sativa likes a bit more at 75 watt a square. 3 plants in a 2×2 you're going to basically smother them and they are all going to compete for light. Do what you're doing this grow but in the future I would only do 2 plants in there but definitely get a more powerful led. I would also stay away from blurple if and when you do get a light.

I'm very aware my harvest won't be ideal I got what I could with the money I had. Looking into a Mars Hydro 300w or 600w or Viparspectra 300w maybe those quantum boards everyone is hyper about. Auto cobs seem legit too. Maybe I'll get a small hps for like 150$
