Consider starting in smaller pots next time.
Good luck and welcome.

Wee bit small but they all have their time to shine. Looks healthy though. Here's the last few at day 22 for comparison as to starting rates.
The start is the biggest challenge with autos lol. The top pic is a purple Passion by synergy automatic genetics, the second is a cherry pie by unknown, the third are amnesia haze on the left and gatorslade frost on the right and the bottom was an AK 420 from Seedstockers.

Right, home is where the heart is...I gave a mate a cherry pie and AK 420 seed two months ago. He proceeded to plant them into literal mulch (like actual bark chips). Here was the week 7 pics lol.
I can't speak tho lol. My latest two are in yard dirt ATM.
any tips for growing im a first time grower all i have is an £12 light from amazon and a 1x3 foot metallic enclosure
i changed them from 1 litre pots to the sized pots there in now 1 week ago with no visible sign of stress to the plant any tips for getting it to grow larger

best bet is to buy a cheap lux meter, watch your DLI and provide a well aerated, well draining, light feed mix for auto seedlings. I had a few issues with Auto seedlings stunting in heavier mediums, now i generally start in a 3 or 4" square starter filled with straight coco. Leave it in there for 14 days and transplant into a more hardy mix once it builds up some vigor.
I've used a 20W ebay bulb (3000k/5000k/660nm) to veg in the past, and have used household globes to grow a 133g auto previously. As long as your spectrum is decent and your intensity/coverage is okay, cheap lights will work. For example I can get 15-20k lux from a 14w 4000k LED globe at 10-12", and four 11w 4000k globes can put out 30000 lux at 14", enough to grow an auto at 20hrs.
This was done under 88W worth of 2700k/6500k (3 of each) household globes hooked up to a $4 photography splitter. If you cant afford a decent light, get a few 3000k/4000k household LED globs, remove the diffuser and grab a cheap 4 way splitter.

Here is a basic site about beginner grows …..
https://growithjane.com/checklist-start-growing-cannabis/
this is what im curently using its like 6 inches wide 10 inches long it does full spectrum pretty wide light spread
im quite worried about stunted growth because the pictures on the website show a lot bigger of a plant but i suppose every plant is different

My mates actually using one of those alongside four 14w 4000k globes in his 1.6x1.6x3.3. He managed to get a pretty decent plant out of the combo last run. Like 85g off a two foot auto in a 2 gallon pot. Id grab $10 worth of 4000k globes and add them for a better spectrum coverage and intensity. Have you checked out 2x2x4 grow tents? They are usually $30-40 max off ebay and would give you a better run with height. 3 foot is going to be tough, hell four foot is tough. I have a little auto in a 2x2x4 atm.

Il be straight with you. It is super likely that plant is stunted. It should be much further along than it is.
What medium are you growing that in?

The cherry pies were decent breeder stock, but luckily the ak420 was $3 Seedstockers gear. Still good, but no monetary hole.
He's still got two more AKs I swung his way. I'm glad he didn't pop them all at once..it's strange. He researched a decent light and got a viparspectra vb1500, a decent filter and fan (AC infinity with controller), a 2x2 tent, a bluelab pen and decent feed.
But then goes and gets a $2 bag of garden soil from the local servo. Nothing but bark chips, tyre tread (i kid you not), bits of plastic/fabric and a sprinkle of peat moss.
I have swing him a purple Passion this time round and got him to go some Canna Coco with a bit of perlite. He's having a far better run this time round already. He's terrified though.
Those plants scared the living shit out of him. Was so embarrassed to send me the pics. I was wondering why I got radio silence for a few weeks lol.
