25 watt 6700 k it has been under since seedling. It doesn't need as much light until flowering I thought.

BLAST that girl with light. It's an auto. The whole trick to growing auto's is to get them as BIG as possible during their VERY short veg period. Auto's need more light than regular cannabis. What is your light schedule? Auto's can handle 24 hours of light during veg, and even flower for some(better to give a couple hours dark at least). The more light the better. Auto's have a short life. One of the advantage of autos is that they grow FAST, and generally finish fast due to accelerated growth by being able to flower under 18-24 hours of light. The only thing that bothers me man is that you keep saying "they're auto's" like auto's are supposed to be small plants, lol. There are a ton of Autos out there, big and small (the ones I'm currently growing can get over 4 feet, and put off a pound per plant). So you got a little plant, it's nothing to be ashamed of dude.
I'm subbed, and can't wait to see how it turns out bro. I just would like to help you get all you can out of the plant. It's hard to help someone when they deny they have a problem. Like AA. You must first admit you have a problem and are powerless over it, lol. Then we can give suggestions like get that girl out of that shit soil ASAP. If that's not an option then try Feeding it with some Cannabis Specific Nutes. Also, plants don't always burn when you over feed. Sometimes they just get stunted which doesn't always mean that they just don't grow at all. It could also mean that they are not growing as fast as they should. You said before that the only difference between Miracle Grow Soil, and Soil specifically for cannabis is that you don't have to feed with Miracle grow for the first month. The truth is with cannabis specific soil you don't need to feed during veg either. Are you dead set on soil? If you could be persuaded to transplant that girl into a bubble bucket you will see a MASSIVE difference in growth.

I have them in direct sun for 9 hours now because it warmed up here and is going to be 25 plus for the next 8-10 days which will help me greatly. I am doing it 20/4 and after the sun is gone I put it in my cfl setup which is shooting out over 8000 lumens. I think I am going to grab some pro mix next time and go that route because I AGREE that miracle grow are not the best for these plants. Allthough it did work for me the last 6 times lol but still they probably would of done better not in miracle grow. Lots of people fear monger about miracle grow soil if you do not feed the plant it will be fine.

Here is day 23

20/4 Maybe it is a runt its about 4 inches tall but remember I buried the stem earlier in its life. I usually do this to stop the stretch

dude its an auto flower, indica dominant on top of that, ur expecting it to be huge but u got 2 cannabis genetics that are know to stay small.... leave it alone til u see it starting to branch out, then give it sum Overdrive n it will help keep it growing for a bit longer.

I am talking to the noobs who say it is WAY to small. It may be small but I had a critical mass that was small until 25 days then I ended up with a 2 foot plant. For whatever reason it is behind id say about a week but no biggie cuz it will just take a bit longer to finish.

That's one thing I have noticed about some auto's is that if they get off to a rough start they will go longer but will lose the vigor they would have had. I've got one plant that was totally beat to hell(transplanted 4 times) throughout it's 75 day expected life and it's going to make it to 100 before harvest. The other plants that were taken care of both finished early.

Big buddah critical mass auto yielded like 25 grams dry but a cut ripped it out twice as a seedling and i had to replant it both times or it would of probably yielded a bit more but after that still grew like a foot and a half was decent size and alot of branches.

Let me try this, the people are saying yes you can grow with what you have. Yes you can get 25g. What they are trying to say is that with better soil and more lumens that 25g you grew could have been 50g.
I do not use HPS I use Flouro tubes. 6 cool white tubes come in at 18,000 lumens. I do not have enough lumens to get great grows. You said you have 8,000. 8000 will grow but it is slow growing with small yield.

Day 24 I see a few tiny white hairs already but this is probably only going to be a foot tall when it is done.

Growth has started to pick up a bit finally I will post pictures in a few more days after some sun. This may be a fail but even if it ends up being a runt I learned not to use this soil anymore.

Lever, why will you not go and get some FFOF and transplant her...put her in a solo cup for a week with some FFOF....check my sig, it is very detailed and almost identical to what you are going through. Here are some pics of what mine looked like:

Trans1 Day 16.jpg This is what she looked like at Day 16 when I switched to FFOF and put her in a solo cup. I was using MG, perlite, and cow manure compost



Trans1 Day 22.jpg This is 7 Days Later...

Trans 1 Day 26.jpg That is 13 days from the switch and in a 1.5 gal pot.

All I used was FFOF and purified (RO) water....trust me and everyone else here...you will thank yourself!!

P.S. the attached thumbnails are from a non auto plant that had the same problem...I didn't mean to post them, I was adding the wrong pic...but that one was even later in its stage, day 20 when I made the switch, then 7 and 14 days later respectively....good luck bro!!
