“The size of an autoflowering cannabis plant ranges from 7 to 20 inches however it can be smaller if the plant becomes stressed or the living/growing conditions of the plant becomes too harsh for normal growth. The opposite or the plant could grow larger if the conditions are just right for a healthy and happy growth.”

You’re in the range with this monster.

“Pot size is a very important aspect for your autoflowering plant’s size and determines the limit to where she can grow. If the pot is too small your plant will become root-bound (this means the roots don’t have any more space to grow) affecting nutrient intake. Your plant won’t be able to breathe properly and is more likely to die or yield almost nothing if you don’t transplant it quickly.”

But it’s probably pH. Right?

That small container is what did it. Roots find boundaries and autos start flowering.

Once I “harvest” it, I will check it out! But it feels like the roots didn’t reach the boundaries as the plant looks too small for the roots to have such reach.
I’m getting all kind of replies as why the growth was stunned. I still feel like, main reason being, it was upside down the first week.

i ain’t no professional though ‍‍

Bottom line is autos suck. Photos can be nursed back to health and go on to produce heavily.

I’ll switch to BioBizz light mix, saw good reviews on it and it’s organic!
I will start a new one on Monday, and I’m wondering,
Do I, just for the beginning, put it under “normal sunlight” near a window or just right away with with grow light?

Find something organic that will feed for ~30 days “light mix” indicates you will need to feed almost right away. Doesn’t sound good to me. Grow light. Get a better one. Cheap HPS or decent LED. Go to the deals thread and look there

Thanks bro! Love the energy here
Soo, quick question probably with an obvious answer,
Can you ever use the same medium for another plant? Meaning the old medium and using it again?

A couple of posts up from here someone is doing just that... I don't grow in soil,but I'm sure if you recharge it, it would be okay from what I've read... These are 40 days from seed, 37 days from sprouting out of root cubes...20210306_143723.jpg

As mentioned... a simple upgrade in light will pay off very quickly as by others .... A good entry board like SF 1000 ( spider farmer ) , HLG ( Rspec kit ) and similar tech. You want light that will give that plant a much better grow.

SF 1000 V2 led board - Samsung Diodes / IR and Meanwell driver ( suited for 2x2 but expandable with another via jumper wire included ) So you can daisy chain multiples to suit your tent / space size PLUS hit that 35w/sqft or better you need to get the goods.

I finished a review on this board for @Spiderfarmerled and am quite pleased with it.

HLG QUANTUMS - Horticulture Lighting Group

Kits / DIY ( easy to assemble ) Powerful lights for indoor - Full rigs available ready to hang ( scorpion / Diablo ) .
or build your own . My main led choice for 6 years - built and used perpetually without any problems. They are always upgrading
new boards and supplement led strips for the homegrower. Once you bite , your hooked ( you will buy more :bigjoint: )

I built this as one of my rigs ( 3x3 ) running both Quantums and cobs ... many ways you can build your own .

Many growers here will help you out .... just try to skip Amazon and get something better.

One thing you will learn.
Autos do what they want when they want and you cannot do a thing about it. LOL.
There a rowdy bunch.
Ideal in some circumstances yet trash in others.

Don't plant a load together in the same pot that is.
Keep them separate is better.

Personally have a preference for photoperiod seeds
Some will say yah others nah
Just my tuppence worth

Thank bro
I’m definitely changing to one of the lights that you recommended. Thing is, I ain’t planning to have more than one plant for the time being, and I’m already looking into lights that can fit in my closet.
The reviews on what you sent me are good! And I’m loving your setup!
Cheers:bigjoint:
