Beginners fail.. autoflower outdoor

Hi there! Newbie in the room
I got here a 10day autoflower northern light seedling in a 11liter pot. but it seems stunted or what so ever can’t figure it out. Bio terra plus soil that’s been misted every day with 50ml at the start and these days with 100ml Aprox tap water (that sits outside for 24hours first). What’s wrong with them? I’m feeding only root it first feed 2-3ml/liter.
It’s sitting outside (22-25celsius) 6 hours direct sunlight and a few hours indirect, at night i bring it inside. Days goes by but nothing is changing, growing only a inch every couple of days.pff

Patience. Plants take a while to grow. Even auto flowers can take 3 months or more, and photos take 5 plus months.
Also seedlings like to be keep warm and cool or cold weather will stunt and kill them.

Enough sunlight (22-25celcius) aprox 8-10hours, mist them every couple of hours preventing low humidity. Could leave them also at night out, it’s going not under 15celcius. I mean watering is right, sun is right, temp is right.. could only be the humidity but like a said they been misted every couple of hours during day cause of the heat.
I don’t know, maybe you’re right, patience it is

PS about the tap water ph, except that I leave the water staying out for 24h first, also bio terra plus soil says that you don’t need to focus on the ph cause theyre soil is neutral.

I'm still pretty new to all this.

But in my experience, the autos will typically grow at a much slower pace than photos.

Overwatering??

Autos need to root first before they grow. It takes a week or more for them to root in their pot just be patient. Also autos don't need and nutes until they are growing.

does my seedling looks under watered over over watered?? Can’t figure it out... in the day leaves are pointing up except the first nod, at night all the leaves are dropping down. It’s her 12day over the soil, started to mist everyday with 50ml pure water and root it first feed, the last couple of days it gets 70-100ml water. Always around the seedling not the into the entire pot. Haven’t fed either, maybe from next week. But for now I can’t figure out what is happening. Please help anyone some advice or speculation

Anyone?

Best thing to do is go get a soil moisture tester. They are cheap as could be. You stick it in the soil and it tells you if it's too wet or dry.
Seedlings dont like a lot of water ... it can kill them. So until you become experienced that is the way to go.

Most of us cant tell by looking at the pic if its wet or dry. However if you pick up the pot and its heavy...then too much water..

how does it look.. DAY17 auto NL. Only 9hours of direct sunlight. Change of thriving? I’m also waiting in the next couple of days for two 100w CFL bright 6.400k for the night schedule basically. Later next month I will change them with two 100w CFL warm 2.700k. Watering it every day 150ml the last week,being a bit afraid of over watering it. @Chief_Broom what do u think mate? Also no Nutes at all, today was the first day 0.3ml Vega on 150ml phd water

Your plant looks fine, I have seen far less healthy seedlings survive and thrive. I have an ILGM Strawberry Cough (photoperiod) that had a pest eat one of its cotyledons as a seedling and it's three feet tall and in a 10-gallon pot now.

Few questions...
Auto's should look like any other cannabis plant when they get going..

Couple of general rules...

Plant the seed in the pot you intend to finish it in...Don't start them in a solo then transfer them...As I've mentioned on other threads..Autos are like race cars..They are going to begin to flower in 3-5 weeks whether you're ready or not...Transplanting puts a pause on growing when they're moved..You need to build that plant structure as quickly as you can..

Second..20+ hours of light is ideal...think far Northern latitude,Land of the Midnight Sun..otherwise plant will not reach its full potential.(that being said it should still do quite well)..

pH of water/nutes..6.5 soil..5.8 hydro

Hope that leads you in the right direction..

@MrToad69 thanx for the reply mate!
I’m living in Southern Europe. Temps are from the beginning quite good 18-27celcius in the daytime.
Germinated seed w the paper towel method and straight to a 11l pot after couple of days. I noticed around day 10 that only 9 hours of good sun are not enough and they get taller each night goes on. So I ordered like a said x2 100w 6.400k CFLs for the night schedule. I might overwatered it with a lot of misting in the beginning/seedling stage but thank god I figured it out and had it gettin dry for three days without a drop of water. Today I gave it 150ml water with 0.3ml bioVega. Got me also some mellasus for any Deficiency in the future.
PS soil is bioterra plus and for Nutes I got the bioVega and bioFlores along with some root it first feed that I used the first ten days. Should I continue giving first feed along with bio Vega?

I'm not familiar with your soil, but
Most soils should have enough nutrients until the plants starts to flower.Toad.Might need to tweak as it gets close to flowering..Hold off on the nutrients for now if you're not really sure whats in it..Google cannabis nutrients deficiencies..and it'll show you pictures of what to look for..Different strains have different needs..let the
Plant tell you what it needs and good luck

It’s gonna be a dwarf right? I think I overwatered it a bit in the seedling stage and it didn’t got so much light in the beginning.. 21DAYS old Northern Light Autoflower. What do u think guys

Yup..unfortunately you've got a stunted little guy this round..chalk it up as a learning experience.

Mostly stunted by overwatering right? Can’t figure out something else cause that dwarf here looks heathy to me

I think you've got a lot of Issues you need to address when growing Autos..First you need min18+ hours of light to get respectable yields..( the first 3-5 weeks are important to build the plant structure..Whats the pH of your water/nutes?..It should be 6.5 otherwise will affect nutrient uptake..Did you transplant ..perhaps from solo cup? Autos should be planted in the pot that you intend to finish them in

@MrToad69
Soil* is biocanna bioterra plus which is ph’d. Has all the Nutes for the 3 first weeks.
Pot* 11l straight from start.
Sun* It gets 8hours of 27c direct sunlight and 3hours indirect and 6hours at night inside under 100w CFL bulb 6.500k.
Water* sits always 24hours in a bucket before I water (de-Chlore method)

I think I got everything right except that I might over sprayed the seedling the first ten days with a lot of water, aprox 100ml every day :/
All that growth u see in the pics came from the last ten days, I let the pot dry out for 3-4 days and boom it started growing. By now of course it’s a healthy nice plant that’s growing but for an auto mainly too late I would say.
How much grams could I expect from that? Should I toss it away and start from scratch another seed?
I only smoke for personal use.

thanx for the quick reply
