Stunted plants

I feel like my plants are having slow growth. They were planted in the ground on 5/22. The date is 6/14 and they are just starting to have their first real looking marijuana leaves. I don't think the container size is a restriction yet. Insight as to whether they are stunted?

Autos generally don't do that well outdoors, they really need 18/6 to perform reliably/decently. Also, by not filling your pots right up and having the seedlings sitting so low and deep down has restricted the amount of (reflected) side light they received when young, leading to (possible) diminished growth. The full pots of soil also provides vastly more room for root growth. More roots = more plant. Autos are probably the biggest disappointment for the outdoor cultivator, they just don't get enough light to grow to a decent size before flowering starts. This is the reason I stopped growing autos, poor yields and with no real advantages over photoperiod plants. On the other hand, you can plant seeds every 2-4 weeks, right up to the end of July, and have an ocean of one foot plants if you are happy with that. Hope this hel[s, Organoman.

Autoflowers are all different when it comes to growth. One thing they all have in common is around week 5 they really start growth and kicking ass.

They look on course for how old they are. I wouldn't worry about anything yet. Maybe pot them up to the final container soon but apart from that 👍
