@doctorgreenthumb @deeunit1 @bulbi @tsultrimtarchin @organogram THANKSSS SOO MUCH GUYS! you all pretty much gave me the same advice that’s why I love asking here cause everyone know they stuff lol. But hmm makes a lot of sense from the taproot signal to the soil and not transplanting. Will definitely take all that into consideration next grow. Would love a big yield so I either have to get crazy lights and nutrition techniques like you said or switch to reg photo. And thanks to everyone for the average yield I could get, that made me feel a bit better. Thought I’d get like 1 g a plant so I’m happy. Thanks again everyone!

Welcome to the disappointing reality that growing autos can bring. You have seemed to do everything right. Yes your plant will survive. No, you won't get much yield. Yes, this is normal for autos. Unless you have mega lights and premium nutrition levels and growing techniques, autos generally are a big let down. Any defoliation administered will stunt young plants, due to the reduction of energy production. Apart from flower growth, there will be very little plant growth, and you may be lucky to end up with 10-15 grams (dried weight) all up, as a guess. Hope this helps,........... Organoman.

I personnally plant auto's straight in final container. I've read that once taproot hits bottom of container it kinda sends a signal that it shouldn't get much bigger. This is probably due to the ruderalis genes who trived in rocky windy places. The taproot signal prevents them getting too big with too small rootsystem and thus getting blown over. You also see they developped few to no side branches too. Super healthy besides that. 15-20grams a plant is certainly feasible.

You're doing well Meko, looks small, but some genetics are just small, nothing to worry about, you'll end up with a plant 3 feet tall probably, and something like 12-25 grams a plant. That's average, you didnt do anything wrong. Hope this helps ! 🚀

They are pretty small but I'v had auto's that are still stretching in wk8.I don't see any side branches though.Next time put them straight into the main pot and use soil made for cannabis with 30% coco,perlite or clay balls.Its pretty small due to the pellet.

This is normal for an autoflower. Causing stress may cause them to flower early. you should get 25-44 grams dry per plant looking at them as of now. Gl
