Gelato Autoflower experience?

Hello there! So, I started a new grow about 3 weeks ago. I had less soil than I thought, and with the situation going on around us I didn't go buy new soil. Instead I combined the fresh soil I did have with some of the soil from my recent grow. One of the plants; Gelato Autoflower by Seedsman seems way smaller than the others. It's also the one that got the most older soil. From what I read this strain does grow small and tight, known to have a big center cola.

Northern Lights for comparison:



So, do you guys think the recycled soil is causing a growth issue or is this normal for Gelato Autoflower?

Thank you in advance!

Sorry I font have an answer, getting ready to start some gelato fem and found you . Not much info out there on growing these girls . How’s she doing now ?

She's still small and compact, but just on the beginning of budding, looks healthy though. I'm assuming it's just going to be one really large center cola. I think mine is half it's a small plant and half I'm using recycled soil.

Interesting, what size pot did you go with? just curious .

I just got gelato auto strain from canuk seeds ..will be starting a grow journal soon
