Holy shit!!! As of right now at 5pm on the 44th day this girl took another leap since yesterday morning and is now standing at 30 inches.. My 1500 watt King LED full spectrum lights is only 15 inches from her top. Is this too close or do I need to raise the bar closer to ceiling?

Well 8m just 3 days away from the start of week seven. I sure hope I start to see flowers develop!! But I am just a tad concerned with the tips of some of the leaf stems turning to a slight redish/purplish color.. can some of my good buddies here maybe give me a possible reason? Thanks so much

So I'm at starting Week 7!! Day 49.. Hoping now she starts putting on weight with flower!! Just fed this girl with Molasses, Cal Mag, Fox Farm Tiger Bloom and PH of 6.3.. She is now at 35.5 inches tall!! She is covered from head to toe with so many preflowers!! Hoping I get a massive yield from her!! Only time will tell.

Alright yall... I'm at day 51 past the 7th week and she is still growing tall. Now at 37 inches.. when the hell do they stop and start to bud out.. Still no sights of that happening yet.. 
Those aren't pre-flowers, anymore, Brother! They're flowers! It looks like she should just about be done with the stretch. You should see vertical growth slowing in the next week or so and will keep packing on weight. 
FYI...in a couple of the pics I noticed some of the leaves appear to have a bunch of small yellow spots:
Check under the leaves with a magnifying glass to make sure there's no pests!

Top of the main cola!! Looks nice but damn.. still little
That's very nice, Bro! You're gonna get a great yield from that auto! In a few more weeks, you'll see all the empty space between the buds start to fill in & get more solid, then they'll start to get fat.

What's longest you ever seen an auto go for?That's very nice, Bro! You're gonna get a great yield from that auto! In a few more weeks, you'll see all the empty space between the buds start to fill in & get more solid, then they'll start to get fat.
Most auto's will run 60-90 days from germination to harvest. The Dutch Passion Blueberry Auto (according to the breeder!) is 8-10 weeks from germination. Who's the breeder on yours?
BTW, my understanding is the "Super Auto" strains can go for five months!

This why my head is wrapped around the reason why it still dont look like it should cause I'm in week 7.. and it says 8 to 10 weeks
Well, it's deceptive because it lists 8-10 weeks as the "Flowering Time" which is usually counted from when the plant starts to put out pistils. I don't know if, for autos, when they list flowering time they're actually referring to time from germination to harvest. Just let the plant do it's thing since the plant isn't really concerned with the Breeder's estimates. No matter what happens, if you keep that plant healthy, she's gonna reward you with a nice yield of meds!

Day 53 of this Blueberry Autoflower from GYO Seedbank. She is finally showing flower growth.. She is a beauty!! Cant wait to see how big her buds get and how much yield I achieve with her!!
She is covered on flower!! Not to mention she is 39 inches tall!!
Maybe someone could help me understand something as well... ONLY in the evening "while lights still have around 5 hrs before shut off and first thing in the morning when lights come one, her leaves are always droopy.. But during the day roughly about 14 hrs of light her leave are standing??? Why is this??

Day 59.. I did a little cleaning up on her.. Cut some side branches off that wasn't getting much light penetration. They would have produced small popcorns anyway, so bye bye.. All energy to the big ol stalks.
She has gotten alittle fuller up the main cola in these past 6 day.. I'm hoping she starts fattening up soon!

@Mr. Krip ... Hey fellow 420 friend/friends.. I could use some input.. I just need advise for this situation.
I am at day 62, So I'm guessing I have about 4 more weeks max until harvest.. Hoping anyway but I have a couple to a few leaves yellowing and some of the stems are purpleing and stalks have some purple stripes. Is this normal this far out from harvest or possibly something else. Please help!! Pics are below.

It looks like it's just a few of the lower leaves. This is perfectly normal. The plants tend to shed some of those lower leaves as they mature. It doesn't look like anything to worry about at this point as long as it doesn't start effecting large portions of the plant. However, in a few weeks, you will see more of the plant start to yellow/fade as she gets closer to harvest.
