I thought autoflowering are independend of light schedule for flowering?
So why the change of light schedule now?
Forgive me if it is a dumb question, but I am new to this (no grow yet) and trying to learn...

Hello guys! This is my first grow and i think i made a lot of mistakes until now :D
However, i have 5 plants which are growing at different rates.
First of all, Nr.1, 2 and 3 are growing faster than Nr 4 and 5 which had been transplanted because they couldn't stand on their own, so i planted them deeper into the soil.
Unfortunately i don't know what the pH of the water is, but since i've been using it since the first day i don't think it is a problem.
I have some questions:
I've seen a lot of pictures on this site, and i'm starting to think that my grow is slower than the others. I haven't used any fertilizers until now, but today (day 18) i bought an universal fertilizer (NPK 3,6 - 2,3 - 2,7) and i used it on plant 4 only.
Do you have any ideas why it seems so slow?
Thanks for your patience :)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that for the first week they grew on natural light because i didn't have any LED

Hello! I've seen a lot of pictures on this site and i'm starting to think that my grow is slower than the others. I didn't use any fertilizer. However, today (day19), Nr.1 started the pre-flowering phase. I have seen one pistil coming out. Any ideas why it seems little and slow?

Well the first week with natural light could be the issue. With autoflowers, I have learned that they need to grow as much as possible and as fast as possible. Remember, the first week or so, she is developing the root system before she takes off. Therefor, it could be that without much light she took a bot longer than others. Most autoflower growers use a 20 hours light 4 hours dark scheme. Anyways, nothing you can do about it now. Just take care of her and when she starts to stretch (shortly after showing pistils), you'll see a lot of growth at once. Hopefully she will grow a lot!
Also, since youre using 90w, try some LST to spread out the canopy for the most efficiency :)

@MiguelBay, that's interesting as I heard autos flowering need all the light they can get to get big buds, at least 18-20 hrs, some do even a 24 hrs schedule.
I follow and see how it works out π

@StonedWolf, Hi! First of all i'm new too π, this is my first time growing. However, i changed the light schedule mostly because of the electricity bill (which wasn't that expensive).
And also because i've heard that putting them in a 12/12h light schedule stimulates the flowering phase. I also noticed that since i've put them on this schedule they started to grow faster. π

9 and a 1/2 in away from the plant .......your lights probably to close. .......I'm thinking that's why the leaves are curling

Hi! Auto's don't need 12-12 light schedule. Do it 20/4 all over or u get popcorn buds.

Your problem was that she is too stretched out. You need better lights. Just one or two more bulbs at 30W would have given you the minimum required fro one plant. You are left with a grow delays, popcorn buds, stretching, and other issues.

I think she is looking good as well. The natural look! When you get a chance, have a look at mine as well. No training which I think applies here as well.
