@CRiSPrGrow, the breeder says 2-3 weeks of Veg but either way, every grow I’ve followed who bought these exact seeds ended up only growing photos. Growers Choice says because “it has only 10% ruderalis” that they “may have to be flipped “ well, 90% of the time growers have to flip because of the shit job they did with the Autoflower breeding process. I’m not going to waste my time like all those other growers, especially after one dude vegged for 8 weeks and only ended with 1.5 ounces dried. He was an experienced grower with the exact same strain from the exact same breeder. Screw that. I looked up growers choice grows on reddit once some growers on here warned me about it. Wish I did that before I bought these.

Just from what others told when I started, they may be slow to grow because the pot size you started in is too big for a seedling . They'd establish quicker in the solo cup. Also make sure you don't overwater them. Just dampened the soil and wait until it dries out before watering again.

@MissCannabitch, I transplanted from a small cup to one bigger pot. As long as you are going from the same soil to the same soil the shock should be minimal. Also if these were truly auto flower seeds then starting in the final pot would be good but these plants are growing at the same pace as my photo plant. I think the smaller cup helps establish the roots better. I'm still a newbie at this though.

@Gteh420, I definitely don’t over water, I was actually under watering! IOne of the seedlings started to canoe, and the soil was dry, so I decided to give it double the water portions I’ve been using and this morning they seem much better. I’m so used to solos, and only watered 2 inches around the seedlings. I think the big pot messes with my perception, I’ve never planted in the end pot before! I’ve read a ton on Autos and a majority says transplanting Autos is Ill-advised due to possible transplant shock/stunted growth and supposedly Autos grow so fast, it’s pointless to transplant from all the comments I’ve read. That, of course, was referring to GOOD Autos, but it doesn’t seem to be the case with us 😂. I wanted to do everything right, but I think I’m definitely going to stick to solos, risking shock or not, I’m clearly not good at eyeing watering measurements!

@CRiSPrGrow, thank you so much. I’m running to the store first thing tomorrow morning to pick up any supplies I can find you listed to make sure those a**holes don’t kill my seedlings. I really appreciate it!!!

Following because I am growing the same strain from growers choice. Mine vegged for almost 7 weeks and never flowered on its own. I had to flip to 12/12. Im using 12/12 all the way through flower too because I have a photo plant in the same room I had to flower because these autos weren't. Curious to see what happens with yours.

@Gteh420, well honestly, it would work out perfectly because I have 3, 4 week old photos in the same tent. I was planning on building another tent to put them through flower and keep the Autos on 20/4, but if they have to go 12/12 to make them flower, I’ll just keep them together! So, fingers crossed believe it or not!
