Is it an auto or photo period plant? Was it a seed or a clone? Do you have a pic of the whole plant?
I dont have a clue what it is it was one of my test plants to get my mistakes out the way it was just a seed i got of a friend to practice with before i used my auto seeds that i paid descent money for My autos are at 2 weeks now so wasnt expecting to much off the freebies i did have some others but i was told they were males by the same kind of pre flower

If you didn't change the light schedule form 18/6 to 12/12 than it is likely an auto or it would not have started to flower. It is odd to have that at 4 weeks as far as I know, seems very small. I have an auto now I dropped in water on March 16th and it just started to flower but is much bigger. I think the best thing you can do is just let her go and keep and eye on her to make sure she doesn't do anything funny like hermie on you. Here is a pic of the second plant I have ever grown, it's the one I germinated March 16th and is just showing signs of flower.

To be honest the lights have been all over with this plant as it was my first grow i had started with a 600 w hps what i damaged a few plants with before i got the 250 w mh light like i said it was just a practise plant the temp and humidity and ph was all over when i started out my aim was to get all these balanced for my 3 autos that i have at 2 weeks now wasnt expecting anything from the freebies but hey if i have a female its all good i am currently on a 18-6 light cycle with the autos that are in there now should i leave this on 18-6 with the others

I would leave that light cycle for your autos. I see people doing 18 - 6 or even 20 - 4 for autos. I myself am using a 20 - 4 cycle. Turns lights off at midnight and back on at 4 am. Both plants I have had in there seem to like that cycle. Just keep and eye on the little free one and make sure it shows no signs of turning male. It likely won't yield much but for myself I would just want to get it to end of it's life cycle just so I could say I did it. Good luck and welcome to the hobby. Time to go RIU.

hey, if you mess up temp and humidity and its normal to stunted plant. autos have not time to recover itself. it should be bigger than this. the other thing autos dont like to transplant if you do this both, don't blame the freebies. ı am sorry to say that all its your hand.
Yes i totally agree as i said i had used these freebies to get rid of my mistakes and get all my set up to where it should be temp humidity ph watering i was watering these everyday i now water every 3-4 days my temp was 34 oc and humidity was 15 % i have now resolved all of these and learnt a bit on the way for the ones i have in now

Hmm , when you water autos be carryfull not get wet all of the pot. only just a lıttle around the seedling. when you plant get bigger you can increse water.
Yes they 2 weeks now i soak the whole pot every 3-4 days they seem to be doing fine and very smelly 1 is a bubba kush auto and other is blackberry auto there is a bit difference in size but they same age had evrything the same light water i think it must be the strain thats making them look different

Was just reading what Ladre87 said and took another look at the pics. If it were me I would add some perlite to your medium to make sure you always have oxygen for the roots. I am running an 80% coco, 20% perlite mix and use a drain to waste watering system with GH nutes. This means I shoot for 20% run off when I water so I do water the whole pot but cannot really over water due to medium. I am no expert by any means and am new to growing but everything I read says that mixing perlite into either coco or soil gives great benefits. Just my thoughts.

Awesome, I just didn't see it in the pics. I mixed my stuff myself and it is much more visible but that could just be the way it is mixed. It definalty promotes oxegen at the roots which is needed.
