My plant hasn't grown in a week

[Ganjamann2020]

Cool, good luck. It will go better for you this time, just ask whatever you need to know as you go.

Unfortunately that plant isn't going to grow much more. If you were to grow photoperiod plants you'd have time to correct issues and flower decent sized plants. With auto's you don't have any control over when they flower so if you have a stunted plant that starts to flower your SOL.

Auto does not mean easier and I don't think they are the best type of plants for beginners to start out with. But for some reason many new growers start off with them. There's usually one or two threads a week of six in flowering auto's that might yield a gram or two.

Good luck next time.

I henpecked it and overwatered it and i did not have the proper environment setup., I just got to learn to leave it alone!

Didnt see any of that going on here.

I usually see good advice from people who only wish the best for others, and normally I’m all for seeing a grow till the end as you can normally learn something, this is a rare one when I don’t think it’s worth it.

op, see if you can’t score some clones or cheap seeds.

Yeah. I was just having fun.

It is absolutely true some folks get beaten down here. I have been on a number of those train wreck threads. The common theme is usually the OP being arrogant and defending how good they are while showing their dying plants. When someone come here humble, polite and respectful with an open mind they usually are well met. Don't get me wrong, there are usually a few jokes or snide comments but it's a board full of pot smokers, I think that is expected. I guess my point is you usually get back what you send out here.

Good assessment. Fair points.

I am very green at this and welcome any advice, however I get totally different advice from each person, with an auto you don't have time to experiment, think I'm going to order me some photos next time.

It's ok bud, every single person on this site was green once. You were brave enough to show your plants and ask for advice, that was a big step. Photos are really the way to go, especially for new growers. You can almost kill them multiple times in veg, correct the problem and let them recover. You cannot do that with an auto. I think you are making a good choice there.

I was told by an experienced grower that the stardawg autoflower was the way to because they are hard to stress, but I found a way lol

Keep your head up. Growing a nice, potent, good yielding auto (in 90ish days from seed) is not hard to do.

Give it a nice medium/pot, don't overwater and don't harvest early.

Scrap that and start again with good genetics.

How do you know what genetics I used? Just curious, because these seeds came from a prominent breeder and one of the world's largest seed banks, this isn't something I found in a bag of weed and tossed in the dirt.

Yeah I can't stop messing with it, I need a time release lock on the door so i can't get in there and fuck with it all the time lol. I have 3 gallon fabric pots an extra light and fox farm nutes this time i had nothing when i germinated the seed, patience is NOT one of my virtues!

 

[Ganjamann2020]

I would put that thing out of its misery.

I wonder if i should dry it and smoke it lol

Educated guess as bad genetics look like that

...bout a gram...

Well you need to make it one if you are growing cannabis. You're in for a 3 month journey (at least) not to mention the dry/cure times (if done properly).

If you use the right soil, an auto shouldn't need any food for the first 3-4 weeks. The only exception might be some CalMag if you are using LEDs. As a beginner, If you're not using the right soil and trying to compensate by feeding in the first few weeks, you are just asking for trouble.

I just don't understand chopping it. The way I think about a grow is I put time into it, the lights gonna be on anyway and even if it doesn't yield or the quality isn't what I shoot for it's something to smoke and a lesson learned.
I've only chopped 1 female plant ever and it was really more of an early harvest because I smoked that shit too lol. I mean I get it, you want to be onto the next but I mean if you have the room, especially since it's stunted, why not? Some of the smaller plants I've grown (12/12 from seed sog comes to mind) have been some of the strongest I've ever grown. Just my thoughts on the subject.
Anyways good luck with growing, you look like you're off to a good start. Remember patience, and if it seems impulsive you should probably double, triple think it.

I get what you are saying but I would not feel its worth the watering to end up with a joint. Especially when you could use that energy on growing something that will produce. That said to each their own.
