Can you save an Autoflower that is too small for it's age?
Nickousstarted grow question 2 years ago
Hey,
I've asked a question about my Fat Banana Auto being too small.
Is there even point in trying to save this one?
It's around 3 weeks old.
Started the recommended -6 hour direct sunlight method today.
Kept it in a semi-shade under a tree before.
Under window if bad weather.

If it's this size at 3 weeks old, there's not much point to continuing with it... Autoflowers have a pre-determined schedule and they are usually going into pre-flower about now... this little lady is nowhere near ready for that. For your next grow, you need to be giving your plant at least, AT LEAST, 12 hours of light a day... autos will grow with that amount of light but they won't perform to the best of their ability... ideally, you want to have 18-20 hours of light every day. I would consider using a tent indoors with at least a decent lighting set up - you don't have to get terribly fancy about ventilation and all that if you're not worried about the smell they produce.
But for this little one, I think her time is done. Sorry!

No sorry Nickous but autoflowers start to flower automatically around 1 month from seed. So this one will start to flower soon and maby get 2 max 3 times this size.
It is better to start again and take your 3 weeks lost then continue growing this for 10 weeks for 1 gram dried cannabis.
I can help you with the start of your next seed and seedling if you want. Just send me a message and together we can grow you some serious plants!

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.

Growing problemMy last 6 plants (different strain and ferti) grow up slowly and with less foliage. Even in pre flower the plants stretch while I do LST, then at the 2nd flowering week they drastically stop stretching, is it normal? Every strain is having the same result approx 15g for plant

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Need tips/help with very very bushy plantPotted for almost 6 weeks, grows super super bushy (already has 12 branches (6 nodes?), branches are so short that I can't even LST them. I guess she grows like that because of her genetics but maybe there's a way how to 'fix' her? Topped once, strain RQS Triple G

Puny plant - am I worrying unnecessarily?Okay, this is a vague question.
As compared to my previous grow of Sensi skunk #1 this Royal Jack is puny.
I have been much better at LST this time but it's so small and am in week 6. I'd say it is 1/2 the size of my previous plant.

Why plants are growing differentlySame strain different growth rates and patterns. One plant is shorter and wider while the other plant is taller. Basically the same amount of leaves.
The shorter and wider plant was repotted a week sooner in cycle. Could that be the reason? Or genetics?
