This plant was a seed about 10 days ago. From some regular auto seeds. Its in a 2x4 tent with 100 watts of LED lights. The closest light is a 40 watt LED that sits about 3 inches above it. Has had no nutes.

First hairs popped up a few days ago. Yesterday i put a nail in the side of the pot to bend the plant, and clipped 2 fam leaves to encourage light to what would be the lower branches.

I can't even believe its starting to flower this soon.

Is it even worth growing her out, the yeild is gunna be pathetic

That's probably enough light for 1 plant, but don't ever try to fill that whole tent on 100 watts of purples or even high quality leds for that matter. Some harvest is better than no harvest.
 
try to keep her on a 24 hr light schedule to help her grow. she probably has 2-3 months to go. Also try to keep the 100 watts at least 12 inches from top of the plant.

Of course, this is just a single plant. Hence why I am wondering if its even worth keeping since it flowered so quick
 
Dang thats a bummer. Might as well grow it out as an experiment to see what happens. I grow autos as well and haven't ever had this problem. What strain is she and where did you get the seed?

Unknown auto strain. Seeds were a gift from a buddy of mine.

I will probably keep it for now, and start some more. I can always toss her later if I run low on space.
 
For comparison here is another plant the same age, same conditions except a larger pot, same seed stock. Also a random mushroom popped up in the pot

Update 2 weeks old. Seemed to like the bending node spacing it tight as fuck but she is trying to branch out.

I know this isn't really what most would call desirable, but I am probably gunna let her finish just to see what happens.20200920_113737.jpg20200920_113710.jpg20200920_112802_HDR.jpg

Also I am looking for recommendations on a new light for a 2x4 if yall got any to reccomend. Right now I have 4 cheap amazon LEDs.
 
Best bet would be to find the cheapest QB style lights with the samsung lm301 diodes and meanwell drivers. That's going to get your around the 2.0 PPFD/watt. If you want to spend a little more the Migrow array is looking pretty juicy at 2.4 PPFD/watt, 240 watts @$320 US + shipping.
 
I started another post in the LED forum for light suggestions. I am gunna try to sift through reviews of each and see what looks like the best value. 20200921_104927.jpg20200921_104911.jpg20200921_104945.jpg

Anyways here are more pics. You can tell she wants to branch out at the nodes. But also she is packing on more and more hairs, I am not sure how much veg growth to expect now. This is my first auto and again, it had hairs at just over a week old.

She's done growing. Just going to grow some buds now. Start up another auto.
 
Also in case anyone cares she is watered with PH 6.5 water and has still been given no nutes.

I was considering feeding but its so small. I might if it shows deficiency signs but for now, just PHd water
