3 weeks: big enough?

First time, so don't know what to expect. This is NL + autoflower. Does it look like it is growing well?

It's under 3 42W CFLs. 2 are 6500k and 1 is 2700k.

I'm an outdoor grow myself, but I think the leaf color looks a little yellow,@ some places.. some will require more info as in NUTS being used how often u water, ETC.... gd luck on ur grow
 
Thanks for the responses. I also thought it looked overwatered last week and didn't water it AT ALL. The coco coir was dry as far down as I could dig my fingers, but the leaves were still curled down. Does it need much longer than a week without water?

under watering plant is just as bad as over watering bro. simple when the soil is dry water till u see a little run off
 
She's a month old now and has a pre-flower!

I trained her over to get the inner nodes to pop up. Growth seemed to slow down. Maybe this thing is 5 in. if you measure from the base to the old apex. It seems like others' pics are much bigger at 1 month. Does she still seem small, and what might I do to coax her to give me some big buds?

This one of my bag seeds 31 days old. The lower fan leaves are as big as my hand. Hope like hell it's a fem. I already named her Holly. Was topped 7 days ago and now has 2 thick stalks up the middle.

But I have other plants that aren't so big. You never know what strain you're gonna get with bagseed.
 
Looks great bulastoner. This one is Nirvana NL + autofem. It looks small, but the leaves are really densely packed. I hope I can get her to open up somehow.

Nice bushy plant but you are wasting time in that big pot. When seedlings first go into dirt they expend most of their energy developing a root system to support the plant. Only after the roots reach the insides of the pot will you see rapid (1+ inches a day) vegetative growth. Next time put the new seedling into a solo cup or 4 inch mini-pot for a week or so. The plant will soon fill the cup with roots and stat vegging much earlier. I go from a solo cup to a 7 inch pot to a 3 gallon pot. Plus your plant is an auto. Means it will only be alive 8 weeks or so. Your plant will end up now with more roots than needed for support and time wasted for you. Good luck, BigSteve.

Oh, I see. I didn't know that, so thanks for sharing! I'll start them out in smaller pots next time.

No perlite in your soil? Be careful about over watering.
Um...that's coco, not soil.

Guys do pure coco just fine, and some throw in a little perlite as well.



Either way, it shouldn't be over watering as it's pretty hard to over water in coco as long as you have holes drilled in that pot and are not letting the plant sit in a pool of water.
