MSNL Auto Widow

It's looking MUCH better than last week! Since learning that I basically can't over-water it since it's outside and in a fabric pot, I started giving it water every day even when the soil was already wet. Also, I stopped giving it nutes and "undid" all the LST ties. Figured that if the plant is stressed from nute burn the LST can't be helping, and at this point I don't care as much about yield as I do it just surviving. Only took 5 days for it to grow from 5 inches tall to 12 inches tall. It has grown a couple 4-fingered leaves, and finally ONE 5-fingered leaf. Also it is starting to grow "mini leaves" out of the sections where the branches meet the main stem. Don't know what the significance of that is, but since it is new growth I'm assuming it is a good sign. Overall, it still looks much skinnier and much less "leafy" than every single autoflower grow that I've seen here on growdiaries, but it's my first grow, so trying to not be too hard on myself, and will be happy if I can eventually end up with 1 ounce of bud from this. It seems most autoflowers on growdiaries are flowering by week 7-8, although as long as mine is still growing and not dying I'm happy. My 8 week plant seems to look like everyone else on growdiary's 2-3 week plants! To help with future grows since I've had so many seedlings die in the soil, 1) I ordered rapid rooters to germinate and let them grow a little first, instead of planting seeds directly in soil as soon as I see the taproots, and 2) I ordered FF Happy Frog soil to mix with FF Ocean Forest for a less "hot" soil mixture for my next grows. Hopefully those two changes in combination with more water will help prevent the damage that has killed all my other seedlings. Started with 5 seeds, and if any of them germinate I'll start a new diary for them.
