Yep, this is why I don't consider autos as suitable for outdoors, especially if you are only getting 9 hours of light. Autos really do need 18/6 for best performance and are more suited for indoor growing.

Unfortunately your autoflower is stunted and started flower. Autos usually start flower anywhere between 20-35days old. Looks like she didn't like something which is why she is small. I doubt she will become a big plant.

this is why auto flowers suck lol I think its the most important decision to be made in a cannabis grow when to induce flowering and taking that away from the grower in my opinion is pretty wack it all depends on the breeder with autos some are a lot better than other at it.

Most autos begin their flowering cycle 3-5 weeks after sprouting. Autos don't really leave a lot of room for mistakes, stunting can dramatically impact your end results. Everyone seems to think autos are easier since you don't need to worry about light cycles but honestly photoperiods are so much more forgiving exactly because you can control the plant's cycles.

Yes you are defiantly into flower right now. It appears to be very early for an Autoflower. You can probably expect that plant to only double in size. Not much of a root mass at that age to develop the plant along so early on in flower.
