All other plants that are treated according to the same fertilization schedule look good. This week I watered it with half a liter of water + fertilizer on Tuesday and one liter of water + fert

Variegation. Little inconsistency in pigmentation on first couple sets of leaves is nothing to worry about. Up-potting autoflowers does not shock them. I've yet to see a plant shocked from up-potting in 5 years and multiple hundreds of up-pots. It's nearly impossible to water them properly when they are not drinking fast enough to warrant the pot size. Water a small column (slowly expand as it grows larger) around the plant, but you need to make sure the wetness goes all the way down to the botom, which means it'll sperad out to nearly the width of the pot anyway. This means it'll stay wet for a longer period of time than what is healthy = higher risks. If you don't water to the bottom, you train the roots to grow superfically which is even worse. so much easier to just use a properly sized pot and not fall for the urban myth that up-potting is dangerous and will shock many plants... simply doesn't happen. All you should be doing is gently placing a rootball into soem soil and gently covering it up... if you agitate and man-handle the rootball, that's a self-inflicted problem easily avoided. Even then, good chance you don't see any shock, lol. always give the volume of water required to do the job correctly and not some volume you whimisically picked out of your imagination. If you water at same loss of weight, it'll take the same volume of water. read the guides on cocoforcannabis.com. watch bruce bugbee videos. Avoid bro-science. if it sounds like a bad supplement commercial, it's 'bro science' - promises the world and vaguely explains in some nonsense way or even attempt to sound science-y.

I agree with the computer bot for the most part;]. I would not say it is nearly impossible to water small plants in big pots though. risky YES. The only seed I killed was because I did that. but at the same time I got the other seed to grow. I direct sowed into 30 gallons, definitely not recommended. Transplanting Is no problem if done right. But a lot of times its not done right and the crown of the root ball gets tugged on and stuff and roots get lost or broken off in chunks. so shock can absolutely happen. I see it with not only cannabis but peppers tomatoes, all kinds of stuff. It's not something you should avoid though. Farmers direct sow seed all the time. but I do believe that if you can get away without doing it you can get a bigger plant faster. That's the main advantage I see to it. otherwise, it is better to use a more appropriate pot size and be patient. Dr. Bugbee is awesome, although I'm into organics I can see why using synthetics in the lab is the way to go. I am thinking about taking his class.

I think Mouse hit the nail on the head with this one. They look underwatered too often if that makes sense. When I direct sow seeds in a bigger pot I leave a handful size amount of medium where the seed is nutrient-less and only water mostly the center but moisten the top enough so it doesn't completely dry out,and start with soil that has about 10 percent moisture to start with. With fabric pots they should not stay wet too long depending on how you mix your soil, and in veg, you can push your humidity and temp pretty high and drive growth so it can consume more water and put out roots fast so watering is not as tedious. 10 percent airationis on the lower side for soil, you may benefit from slightly more perlite

water when the plant needs it, not on a set schedule. The pots are a bit big for a seedling but I get how transplanting autos can be a problem. The issue I see here is that the entire medium is not getting wet and then roots traveling out are getting extra dry when they move past the moist zone, but having that much medium wet with no roots in it is dangerous for growing nasties. catch 22. I think you issue lies in what you are feeding them and how, there is no information on what you are feeding them in the diary. also cannabis does not need a humidity dome unless your ambient air is around 20% RH. Also your diary says its 90% soil but tat does not look like soil to me, more so soil less and if I had to guess peat based.
