Northern Light Auto slow growth

So I’ve got a northern light autoflower, she’s on day 10 and hasn’t been growing to much.
She’s under a 125 Watt cfl I water her with rainwater and the ph is at 6.0 she looks healthy. Maybe root bound? Since she’s still in a solo cup. She’s in seedling starter mix soil.
Lights are on 18/6

Roots hate light. That cup is clear.

Beyond that we don't know much of anything about it. What soil are you using? How close is the light?

I know that they hate light, I had paper wrapped around them, just took it off to take some pics. The plant is 2 inches away from the light. And the soil is organic seedling starter mix with no nutrients in it. Nothing fancy like fox farm etc.

Most seedling mixes have light nutrients in it.

Thats definitely not root bound.
 
When you say day 10 are you including the germination time or the time the seed went into soil? That plant is NOT root bound or even near it. Reason I ask is I am planning to try Northern Lights Auto but it will be outside in the spring.
 
I'd transplant as soon as possible, even though you're wrapping it with paper there's guaranteed light leaks and roots hate light.

You know I had to return lol
Surprised you don't remember them.
These are the clones I took from my auto.
I did however give one of the cups away.


The pair doubled up in the pot together fought hard, and one dominated. I cut the weaker stalk at about a foot tall.
The one that dominated tho... is still in the same pot.

If anyone is wondering how The one in the small fabric pot got so big..
I believe I went OD on the Extreme Mykoz lol
They were rooted & potted by 11/12. Have been on 18/6 since.

If you guys notice the pot it's in is folded down in half. Those handles go up top.
Originally a 2gal pot. I am going to unfold the pot, and add more ocean forest today.
Giving it a light watering to bring those roots up to the new play space.
She is getting top heavy, which is a good thing. I want her to have a stable base.
I used the Styrofoam from one of my filters packaging to make an anchor for the cup.

I thought about doing that, but i didn't wanna mess around. I experiment enough.
Next year tho.. I just may grow the balls to do it. I'll be way more comfortable by then with it all.

In order to do this gift thing properly to keep the appearance il have to dry in the cup and cure in it as well.

Basically il need the plants done by nov 1st, dry by Nov 15, and cured in massive jars for a month.

How tall and wide do they get on avg?

They started to flower at different weeks, and sizes.
The one in the cup did have 4 more lower branches, but I chopped them off.
They got too wide for the space.
The one in the small pot took 3 weeks to flower, and it took OFF!
The cup took 4.5 weeks to start flowering.
