Hi Guys, this is my autoflower about 1 week in flowering, it's not stretching at all :( She Is really small, i know it can be becouse i topped it, but Is IT possible to start stretching later ? I don't know if I should run 100w side light, I run 300w light about 25 cm above her. Is there anything i can do to make it stretch more? Thanks for any replies, have a great day.

Your plant has set it's bud sites and started growing pistils. That happens in week 3. Stretch is week 1 and 2. There's nothing you can do to increase the size of the plant. Topping was a bad idea. It take a plant about 2 weeks to fully recover from topping and if you topped right when she wanted to stretch you would lose a lot of growth.

More light the better! How old is the plant in total?

Got any pics from day 7-14-21? Might’ve been slow growing so topping might not of been wise to do.

If a healthy vigorous plant is topped there is no slowing down in my experience. It takes about 3-4 days for the two new top colas to start getting apical dominance. Not 2 weeks….

I’m sure you can do better with a few tweaks to your routine!

I thought a White Widow auto from Victory Seeds was supposed to be a monster. So outdoors in 10 gallons of soil and I got this. Most Autos just plain suck. Their genetics are weak and most breeders never stabilize them so you end up with a ruderalis dominant plant that looks like mine or yours. I guess Im not really even sure why people buy them. Whats is special about them? They yield less than a photo, the quality 99.9% of the time is subpar to a photo, you spend more on electricity and get half the yield of a photo and you risk getting a Ruderalis domionant stout runt like the ones shown in this thread. Honestly even if you didnt top your plant it still would have been a runt I think, you got a bad seed.

had good yields with some of Ethos' Auto's (3oz's -3 gallon) Check out "Citrus BubbleGum" by SpeedRun (7oz's in 5 gallon or 1lb in a 15 gallon) Tried some of "Mephisto's" and #FastBuds

Under an ounce. Maybe 15 grams but wait and see she could go hulk smash on you and explode and you get a pound :bigjoint:

have found out that topping, making clones, cut off colas makes no different the autoplant has a genetic timeline no matter what enviroment or what is done to it , so if one stress's a plant it has no "extra" time to recover. As for cloning after a while yields decrease
