Probably because you pruned most of the leaves off! Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth!

It’s the cultivar genetic. Some plants grows differently than others. Even with the same genotype you can get different phenotypes.

Bad plant from bad seed? Keep or throw?
So one of my girls germinated with only one leaf and is growing at a much slower pace compared to her sister (they germinated in soil within 24hrs from each other) I think it was a bad seed, is it worth keeping her? I've planted another now just in case 🤷🏽

Same plant but one is smaller
I've notice that at one of the plants in each strain are notable smaller than the rest, all from seedling. Strains are all autos from RQS, Amnesia Haze, Fat banana, Stress Killer. They are on the same feeding schedule. Is this normal, and what are causing this?

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? Photo at 5 weeks.

Height of plant
All 3 of my plants are different sizes. Next time I’m only gonna grow one strain at a time unless there’s a way to speed up the growth of the other two. I have a yellow spectrum light I was using for veg that I can put on the left of my grow tent & then put the flowering light?

Should she be taller as an Autoflower? - day 18 10 cm
So I know auto-flowers grow short, but she's still about 10cm tall and smashing lateral growth Do any auto-flower growers know when the height starts to come? I'd be worried she was stunted if it wasn't for the new node forming quickly once again looking for reassurance

slowing
LST
I did for my first time LST training during the week 3/4. I'm really wondering if I exaggerated on pulling she down. I do think she reacted well but she looks too small to being at week4?I have some small branches coming up but they are growing slowing compared to the main one
