Cheese Auto day 46.... need some advice

These are 2 cheese auto's from dinafem seed company.

They are under a 4 foot 4 bulb blue/yellow T5. They are in 3 gallon grow bags with foxfarm ocean forest. I yesterday they got their second dose of 1/4 strength rock resinator. I will be going atleast half strength maybe full next feed.

They seem under developed, or is it just me? The shorter bushier one is actually 1 week older than the other one. I am moving out january 15th. They have to be done or I have to give them the chop :(. So they have about 4 weeks left to finish up. If they dont they will have to be cut down like they are. I have 4 26 watt flowering CFL's would it make a difference if I added them?

Im just now starting to see some real development. They are just passing that 2 week transition window. But I really need them to hurry up :(

You have about six and a half weeks already and almost five more weeks til the 15th of Jan. That gives you about eleven and a half weeks total or about 80 days. I think you'll do ok if you leave them to the last day possible. They may even finish sooner. What's the stated time to harvest from the supplier?
 
I believe it said 70 days. But They went without light for a few days at a time so I feel like they got under developed. Do they look on track for 46 days, and 40 days ?

I don't know anythig about autos but if it said 70 days and you will have about 80 days I think you'll be ok. You do have flowers beginning so it's doing what it's supposed to do. Try to be patient. At the very worst you'll get some immature smoke and learn a lot about growing. At the best you'll get some really good smoke and learn a lot about growing. Either way you win.

Autos are always complete garbage, in my opinion. Day 46??? Dude, you could have vegged any awesome strain you like for 30 days, AND STILL be further along. I don't know why people waste their time with these auto-flowering strains. After trying 5 or 6 different ruderalis strains, my mind was made up quickly. Just my opinion though, man. Not worth it.

Because I cant be growing 4 feet plants right now. So autoflowers or LST is my only option and plus I just wanted something quick.

I chose an auto for my first grow, which I am still currently in, because I wanted to have something easy to grow while I still read up and learned about veg and flowering and what to do and what not to do.
The yield isnt that great, I am probably going to get 6 ounces out of 4 plants dry weight. Next grow will be 5 plants of photo stuff. I want to be able to get a better veg and better yield. Those do look under developed, but you are comparing them to guys who use photo plants. Auto's just are smaller and have less yield. They will get bigger when they get more into the flowering period.
