Indoor "Critical+ Autoflowering CBD" - Kush's Newest Ghetto Grow

Holy cow, hitting the 3-5 oz range is a dream of mine. If my modest plant delivers more than 3 oz, I will be beyond happy.
She is a medicinal girl, with lots of CBD and I can use every extra gram of her flowers.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the rep! I am germinating a CBD:THC strain from Mephisto as we speak. I've read the harvests on it can be smaller than their others. I am aiming for 3-4 off of it from what other people have done. Good Luck, and I will be following along! Maybe a few more experienced guys will chime in too! I am not so great at diagnosing nute issues and things like that.
 
Here is the plant at 20 days of age.
I noticed that the tips of the newly grown small leaves are curling in. Will ask what's this about in the Infirmary.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think I am already seeing preflowers.
...At day 20...
Is this normal?
I find it to be pretty fucking insane - the plant is only 20 days old, and is no more than 8 inches tall and is already flowering???

Looks like pistils showing sex. You should probably start showing the actual pre-flower soon, this is a pre-pre-flower sign I believe. I have grown, and seen on this forum, lots of plants starting to really flower by day 25-30. So it looks like you are on schedule for some nice growers.
 
A photo at 21 days old. Just for reference.
It is not visible on this photo, but today I started tucking the larger leaves under and was able to expose a few newly grown side tops.

In another news my carbon filter is starting to fail me. The room smells slightly like weed again. :wall:
It is tolerable and the smell does not get to the other rooms (for now), but still I am worried.

Today I watered the plant. Gave it 3 liters of pure water (no worm castings this time).
The soil was getting rock hard, hope that the water will soften it a bit.
I think from now on I will start watering more often.

Yeah you don't want it drying out completely. A good way to test is to lift the pot and see if its getting light. After you water it fully, see how heavy it is. When its about 80% of that, its usually a good time to give some water.

    Helpful tips and tricks.
A couple of pictures at 22 days old. The plant is about one foot tall now.
It is drinking a ton of water - 4,5 liters total for the day with very little drainage on the bottom. The girl sucked all the water up.
This confirms that I need to water her more frequently.

The thermometer in the picture shows 31 degrees Centigrade, which is too hot. However, this is measured in the direct "sun", i.e. - under the lights. It was reading 25 degrees when it was residing on top of the soil and under the lower leaves. I took the thermometer out of there in order to be able to water properly.

Top leaves still have "the claw" going on.

Not super sure about the clawing. With watering I'd water until it drips out the bottom everytime, then you know you got it all. There are two people on here who maybe don't know EVERYTHING, but they know ALOT more than me. I'm gonna tag them and see if they have any tips!

Thank you, Filthy_Casual. I do water her until I see a bit of drainage on the bottom. She is drinking a lot of water these days. Guess keeping her thirsty helped her develop a monster root system.

Hopefully the guys you tagged can give more insight about the clawing. I think the problem will get fixed with regular pure water waterings.

It is day 23 and I measured the plant's height. She is between 30 and 31 centimeters tall - that's exactly one foot.
I expect her to take off after day 24 and I hope she reaches at least two feet of height.

Today I did some more fan leaf tucking too.
She is so bushy and I am VERY tempted to do some defoliation, but I hear that this type of hardcore stress can stunt an auto's yield and growth. I promised myself to not do any training on this plant anyway.
