Do I just keep giving her vegetative nutrients until the growth stops?

I keep giving veg nutes until they are fully into flower. You'll be able to tell, because there will be bud sites and preflowers forming everywhere. If your not sure....just post up some pics and I'll help you out!

Thank you, I have just done a bit of slight lst to the fan leafs pulling them to the side a little to expose the branches that are growing, currently got 9 branch points growing out. I am hoping to make that 12 or more by training it a little more and keeping them all within alignment of each other for optimal light. Those pesky fan leafs though are a ball ache for getting in the way.

I have been thinking though, when in flower, to put an elastic band around the fan leafs to bring them together allowing more light to pass through them while still allowing some light to hit the leaf tips.

Hi, hmm bit worried @Frankthetank it seems my new leaf growth has gotten some yellow tips as can be seen in the pics. The bottom leafs are fine accept the very first seedling leafs have now yellowed off. I watered her on the 12th with 0.250ml bio vega organic nutrient in 500ml water and gave it 400ml of that water. I also moved my grow light another 3 inches higher as the temps where at 27c. Ignore the curled fan leafs in the pics as I have made a ring out of wire to group them together to allow the lower branches to get some light.

I personally wouldn't stress about that too much. Have you been feeding with every watering?

 

[BigMich]

The last two, before that I fed every other watering though shes only been nute fed 3 times each 0.250ml.

I would say to go back to every other. She'll most likely be fine if you continue feeding every time....but it is not needed, at this stage anyway. If she's underfed, she'll let you know....and respond well when she gets the nutes she needs. On the other hand, over feeding her will cause problems you'll be chasing for a while.

So could this yellowing be a bit of nute burn?

Probably. When I used to grow photo's I would look for that burn to let me know I've found the high dose of nutes (I used to push them fairly hard)....and I would back off a little bit, and that would be my dose. With auto's, I found (this is my opinion, talk to enough people on here, and you'll here both sides of this argument) that they don't need as much feed, and do remarkably well with a minimal feeding regimen. Now....if you have tons of space, auto's can be pushed hard and will produce very well.....but I see space is at a premium for you.

SO.....I said all of that to say this...back off a little bit. If she starts yellowing up on you, then you can up the feed....and she will respond very well, usually with a growth spurt.

It's very common, as Frank said, to worry about stuff too much on your first grow. It sounds like it's going quite well to start. She'll be fine!
