well my experience with fem seeds is they seem to be week. they dont grow with the hybred vigor of regular seeds. give it a couple of extra weeks and it should get going

Awful state of affairs with all these wacky autoflowers. It seems that people have nothing but trouble with those.

what size pots are you using? In my experience, if you're using too big of a pot, the plant will focus its energy on growing roots before growing tall.

My two cents ...

Lighting could definately be a factor. Also as those before me mentioned genetics. The first time I bought autos I got Speedy Gonzales from Flash seeds. I got three fem seeds, one of which germinated and had the same problem yours did (under 700w CFL and 150W HPS). I dubbed him 'retard' as it only grew several inches and produced enough bud for a bowl. The second time around I got some seeds from Short Stuff (auto-assassin and snow ryder). They are now frickin huge and will provide about an oz each.

cut off the tips of the serrated leaves and see of that gets them going.
I've seen a few that stopped after the cotyledons opened up and it always worked.

Some seedlings atend 2 grow tap roots, that will stunt them 4 a while.be sure not 2 give water 2 help them,cause if tap rooted it will drink from the bottom only...My 2 cents.

I have never had a problem with FEM seeds. I think it depends more on the quality of the breeding and how it is managed by the breeder.
