Hello fellow growers,
A quick background. This is my first time growing anything ever in my life so I’m sure I’ve already made a ton of mistakes but bear with me. I started 3 plants from seed, they were not labeled besides being in a Canuk Seeds package of 7. I got them as a replacement seed for something that was out of stock at the time of shipping. The operator informed me they would be Jack Herer feminized at that time but I soon found out otherwise. I used the wet paper towel method to get them germinated and they all got their tap root out within 24 hours. I then moved them to rock wool cubes for the next 2-3 days until they started to sprout and their roots showed on the underside of the cube. I moved them to solo cups with fox farm ocean forest as the grow medium. At day 20, I moved them to 1 gallon pots. Shortly after this time, all 3 began to show signs of flower. As I said initially, I have never grown before and I had no idea about autoflowering plants. I switched temporarily to a 24/0 cycle from an 18/6 but soon moved to a 20/4 cycle after reading a bit more about autos. At day 33 I realized that 1 gallon pots were in no way large enough to finish these girls in and although I read that you should avoid transplanting autos, I really had no choice and nothing to lose, so I moved them to 3 gallon pots using a super soil/ocean forest mix. By this point I’m sure I have completely ruined any chance these girls have had to reach their potential, and I’m near positive I’ve stunted their growth. From what I’ve read, if I had known these were autos, I should have went from rock wool straight to 3 gallon pots with my super soil/ocean forest mix. I’m currently at day 56 from sprout and I’m not sure what kind of time frame I should aim for. The trichomes are all still clear and they are still shooting up tons of white pistils. I’m assuming since their growth is stunted, I should aim for closer to 12 weeks? As far as lighting, they move to my main flower tent (4x4 w/ 2x ES 300’s) during the 12 hour lights on cycle in there but, move back to the smaller tent for 8 hours too (I was obviously not planning to do autos and photos when I originally started). I’ll attach pictures, any insight or experience is appreciated. *the last picture was yesterday*
