Welcome to AFN dude. Those plants look good for their age. The one on the right looks a little stretchy in between nodes but the lights are pretty close so it's probably fine. 24/0 is ok but 20/4 or 18/6 is recommended for AFs. Plants do need to sleep. You might need a ratio higher in the nitrogen for vegging and high in Phosphorus for flower.
What kind of soil are you using?
What kind of water are you using?
Keep it up dude.

Edit: Also looks like that fan is always on there blowing pretty good. I didn't see any wind burn but it's a good idea to steer clear from constant blowing in one spot, but it could be ok just something to think about.

Squid out.

Thanks squidherb33 im aware that i need fert high in p but where im from the best i can find is 10-20-10 & 20-20-20..i have looked into finding something similar to biobizz with npk 2-6-3.5 but it was not possible..i thought of ordering but by the time it gets here it might be too late..I bought the soil from a flower shop..their own mix for planting flowers..i am also collecting rain water,but our tap water here is decent enough to feed plants with..when i run out of rain water i usualy fill a bucket with tap water and let it sit for 24 hours..seems to do the job..here is a new video of the ladies at day 38..let me know if all is going well...yea i know about the tall one it does look stretchy,don't know why..the short one had the lights fall on it for a couple of hours thus it remained short..i dont know really how to explain it,i started both of them the same..maybe that light burn stunt her in a good way!

Also one question..Is there a point in the life cycle where the plants buds will start to swell dramatically?cause at this rate it doesn't look like they are going to yield much!

Welcome to the forum. Your plants look very nice. You are right at the point where you should see your vertical growth low and stop and the buds should start to fill out. Check out this thread, it will give you an idea of what to expect. https://www.autoflower.org/f44/life-cycle-auto-flowering-cannabis-5113.html.

I would switch to your flowering nutrients the next feeding. Of the two you listed, the 10-20-10 is probably the best choice. I would suggest using it at no more than 1/2 strength.

Thank you Muddy,you guys sure make someone feel right at home!thank you all for your tips and advise.is bio bizz suggested since i cant get my hands on flora bloom?I was going to order from e-bay but they charge an arm and a leg for shipping flora bloom..it would cost me about 13.50 euros with shipping to get 500ml of bio bizz bloom..what do you guys think?the only thing is i have to order today in case it takes a week to get here..

Hey man. Listen to Muddy for sure. the 10-20-10 sounds ok just use it at low doses like Muddy said, I'd start with 1/4 strength and work up and your buds are just starting to form, you have several more weeks to reach that really fattening up stage. If you think yo could get your hands on some better bloom ferts I probably would just don't break your back or bank trying to do so. And yeah sounds like that one maybe got a little stunted and the taller one should bush out and fill in more in flowering. Keep it up dude.

 

[Lowrider2]

bio bizz bloom is on the way!plus i see muddy is an expert and says i should use bloom nutrients in week 7-8 so i can wait one week until it gets here..plants are on week 5 going on to 6..how should i use the biobizz bloom squidherb33?full on or 1/3?and should i give it to the plants every watering?how does that work?bio bizz bloom cost me 13.50 in euros..oh well,small price to pay for a fair yield!

Exactly dude. Muddy is your main man. It's always safer to start at 1/4 strength and see how she takes it and work your way up instead of giving her too much and having to flush her. AFs life isn't long enough to jump back real good if she gets burned or stunted. Some people water with nutes every other time they water,the in between watering being just clean ph'd water. And some people(Like Muddy) Use a lower strength solution and water with it every watering. Just make sure you're letting it dry out between waterings. Good vibes!
