Whats goin on fellas? I have a question about the growth of one of my auto's. I have a skunk auto from white label and a trans siberian from auto seeds, the skunk is a few days older than the trans (4 or 5 days i believe) and growing alot faster. The trans has been outta soil for about a week and just hasnt grown much since it broke soil i was jw if this is common with some autos, slow growth in the beginning, or if im just doing something wrong, i will post some pics if necessary. Thanks.

The first 2 are my setup, a 30"x18"x36" mylar tent from lighthouse hydroponics. Intake and exhaust fan, 2 42w cfls 2700k above the skunk and 1 42w 2700k above the trans, i know i could use more light, im gonna get a pack of 4 23w 6500ks n some y splitters in there this weekend but i dont see that as the reason the trans has very slow growth this early in its life. The skunk is takin off and the trans is kinda just chillen how it is.
 
ok so your using cfl bulbs plants generally grow slower under them anyway you could do with more lighting but at this stage shouldn't be an issue i think as different strains the rate of growth will be different anyway from what i can see they look fine what soil are you using
 
also some strains are more susceptible to be easily burnt by to much nutrients in the soil this will dramatically affect growth and autos dont have the time to recover from this unfortunately i would wait a few more days and see if it catches up

Yea i know about the cfl and slower growth part but my skunk is just growing so much faster than the trans, both in the same soil, forgot what its called but its some basic organic potting soil, sphagnum, peat moss, bat guano and kelp meal, i may be missing a few but its pretty basic, and i also have about a 6 inch layer recipe 420 at the bottom of the 3gal the skunk is in, maybe the roots hit that and thats why its takin off alot quicker than the trans is.. Anyway thanks for the input its much appreciated.
