@StonedBlind ya just keep taking pics until we tell u u got it. 
(winking smiley face)
I see pistols on the middle pic
i cant see any pistils.
did you decide to cut or bend?
Please tell me u didn’t just chop the top off of an autoflower just going into flower.
Autos stretch before flower. If she’s shooting pistils she won’t get much taller just leave her alone. U missed the window for LST on an auto and u will not b happy if u cut her now.

That response sounded kinda harsh. Autos have a very specific window where LST or “bending” is beneficial. Before or after will make them pissed off. They have a genetic timeclock u can only minimally manipulate with nutes, lights, LST, and transplants. Once pistils kick out the only one left is nutes. The rest will do more harm than good. Let us know what u decide.
No worries, I’ve grown quite a few autos.
This one just wasn’t growing like a normal auto like I’ve grown before.
I haven’t done anything to the plant yet, was going to transplant into a bigger container first…
She is already almost 60 days old, seems like a long time to veg for an auto. lol
How much longer will it be before I notice bud then?
For a Super Skunk, she still has no smell either.
I have a cheese auto going right now that I started with 3 other autos. The others are harvested dried cured and smoked. She’s still in mid flower. Just happens sometimes. All u can do is let her ride. I’m not sure I would even transplant at this moment. Looks like she’s transitioning. This is the worst time to do anything to her. U very well could stop the flowering process and hurt your yield big time. Autos respond to stress in 2 ways. Stop everything and stunt, they will just finish super quick hurting yield or just slow down long enough to get some extra veg from them. It’s all about the timing. If u haven’t flipped to 12/12 I would def do that. @Screwauger is probably the one person I would consider the auto whisperer.
Many people have grown many autos but doesn’t mean they have maximized their potential. Just trying to help u get there.
Good luck growing!
If it is starting to flower, and it being an Auto, I thought 12/12 would just hurt the yield?
Although, it’s starting to reach the point where something has to give. lol
I’ve got about 4 inches abuv my lights on the main top…
Only about another 3 or 4 inches before it actually grows up to the top of the actual tent. lol
Then, you take in the size of container, I’m waiting for a problem to pop up from any direction. Any bud at this point is better than no bud. lol
I’m just trying to salvage something out of this big plant while I can.
All suggestions are welcome.
12/12 won’t hurt it at all it’s best for it in flower. Pistils in an auto are signs the stretch is almost over. U should have noticed a growth spurt recently. I think u should b fine but I would flip the lights for sure
It’s been growing like crazy the last 3 weeks or so I’d say. haha
Here are a few pics today.
Hopefully 1 of them will be a good pic for everyone to work with.
The top is pretty flexible luckily, hard to pull her in and out of the tent…

Hi guys, so is everyone in agreement that I should just turn her to 12/12 and let her be?
Kind of gotten the run of answers in this thread.
I’m doing the stoner shuffle.
That’s where I look at my stash, and look at the plant and wonder if it will be ready before my jars empty. lol
Also, any tips on anything to do with the top of the plant that is above the lights?
Not sure there is really anything I can do, but maybe someone has an idea.
12/12 let her have it
