Beginner grow.

I know I'm reposting, but I think I posted in the wrong section. Sorry!!

I have started to grow natural on my window sill for past couple of weeks now. I started with Auto blueberry mango from The Bakery Co. I am in week 3 (Day 21) and I have seen selected few other grows with same plant as mine, and I have taken in account they are hydroponic grows i feel like I am few steps behind or is this normal for a grow like this. I started her off in a 1.5ltr pot with normal watering and as much sunshine the sun giving.
Start of week three I have transferred her Into a 6/7ltr pot and now started her on course of fertilizer as following direction on the bottle. I don't think she stressed or shock as her fourth set of leaves have carry on growing.


What I have I used to start my grow. (please feel free to tell me what I should use on my next grow)
mutil purpose compost from B&Q - not a specific brand.
Water from the tap-non filtered
Tomatoes fertilizer( not a specific brand)

I have attached Images of her and included one before her transplant.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong or if I'm actually doing it right
Thanks

Window sill grows are rarely good for anything but a weed plant being used as a decoration. If you are in the US, then the days are still to short anyways, and the plant will go into flower until the days get longer, and then it will reveg. I wouldn't expect to get anything out of that plant except some small wispy buds. If you want anything decent then you will need to either grow it indoors under suitable lighting or you will need to do an outdoor grow and plant when the days are longer.

Far from the us man, I'm UK. I was planning on taking her outside when it gets warmer and see what happens

I just looked up your sunrise/sunset times and your days are even shorter than ours are right now. If you don't supplement light now then it will start flowering in 4 weeks or so and then will reveg when the days get longer.

I though growing automatic was easier? So regardless of what type of plant it is, it still needs sunlight/light. I moved the plant into a different room, it got larger amount of daylight (not direct sunlight) and it starts to get bright around 6am and dark about 7pm

Autos aren't easier to grow, they just don't rely on the light schedules to go into flower. The only difference is that your plant won't reveg when the days get longer. They still need a lot of light to grow and, due to their "hard coded" life cycle, they are less forgiving to mistakes made during their growing (poor lighting, physical damage, improper watering and/or feeding).

I see, as this is for personal and just hope to get few decent buds out of it, as I just read a lot of different stuff I genuinely didn't expect massive plant. But if she does get at least 10 hour if not more of daylight and doesn't seem to suffer from that aspect, watering I have am having no problem with it, and they say this plant should grow up to 60cm

People say this all the time but it just doesn't make sense to me. It's not just about how many buds you get, it's also the quality. If you only get a few buds off of a plant then they are going to be low quality garbage. The reason you are having no problems with it now, is because it is still in early veg, and they don't require much at this age. Once they go into flower they demand a lot more light, water, and nutrition to grow the flowers.

I'm UK too buddy and plenty of decent shops for nutrients. Get a cheap light off ebay or amazon and you will be glad of it come harvest time. Don't understand how people think a window grow can produce anything tbh. Don't light leaks and stuff affect plants massively when they supposed be in the dark 12 hours

I moved the plant yesterday to bigger room, and with bigger window as sunlight comes more direct in that room, it's on the floor in a 7ltrish pot, As currently weather here isn't too good at the moment i was thinking of moving It outside during April when it hopefully get warmer and hope for the best. But it gets uninterrupted 12hrs natural daylight (2-3hrs of sunshine) and 11 hours of night time

Good luck it’s very exciting

I was planning to moving it outside In the garden but I think it too cold at the moment, it normally hits 9c max 15c during day and 4c-0c nighttime. I was hoping to put it outside when weather warmer as the days are starting to get longer

Need more light mate sorry. Next week's forecast ain't too sunny either. And more heat. I normally grow through winter in tent and struggle keep it warm. Got one on now and the extra heat is already proving be a good factor

2-3 hours of direct sunshine is far far too little. Like I said, it's fine if you want it as a house plant, but you'll be disappointed if you are growing this to actually consume.

Ok, then you apparently know more than I do, and don't need my advice. Good luck with your grow.

Is this ideal lighting for small grow

Barely enough for a single plant in veg. I have two of those that I used to use in a small tent to start plants. If you want to provide it with enough power to get it through until the sun is out for longer then I would go with at least 120 actual watts of LED. That light only draws 50W.

I just saw few Light bulbs for growing, could I simply switch out the light bulb in the room and use that?

IMO I think your pot size might be a bit premature for the plant size as well.
