Use the plant as an experiment, but it wont produce much....
Unfortunately, you need to come up with a better lighting plan or grow in a season more appropriate..Ideally Autos should have between 20-24 of constant high grade light, placing them beside a light bulb doesnt help much....

@MrToad69 what do u mean w more appropriate season? I live in Southern Europe we got today 30c..
so 200w of cfl for each stage wouldn’t do a lot? Veg with x2 100w 6.400 and for flower x2 100w 2.700. But only for the night schedule aprox 8hours, inside a cardboard box with a wet towel around the pot plate.
in the day it sit’s outside with the lovely sun along. Can’t do unfortunately a inside tent at this moment.
Not asking specific for my little dwarf right now, also for future personal grows. I’m gonna start these days another auto that I’ve got, auto anesthesia from pyramid.

It doesnt matter if you've got great temperatures if you have less than 18 hours if good quality light..minimum. The CFL's will help ..but not ideal.
You might be in Southern Europe but we have still not reached maximum hours of daily Sun here in central Canada...thats the important part.
I'm not saying you can't do it, I'm just trying to suggest what will give you the best results.

It could still get big, depends when it decides to flower. And yes if you were giving it 150ml of water as a seedling, you overwatered. But some autos get HUGE. This one will not due to the less than ideal growing conditions, but it could still get pretty big.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
@JoeBlow5823 thanx for the info mate.
Posting two pics from today, 22days NL auto.
Hoping to get something at least
The good thing about the overwatering was that it been overwatered only With a mister and that aprox only for one week. From then I let it dry out for 2-3 days before I pour again. Today was watering day 200ml w 0.5ml of bioVega.

in my experience and this is my 1st grow, and someone who has no patience this is something you have to be patient. in the beginning u probably wont see much change but after some nodes u can start seeing difference. think autos like to get dried out then watered, im in a tent and i was watering every 2 days or so till they get bigger and require more. from what i read some of the tips was picking up the pot and checking soil. it might look dry on top but moist underneath. i checknwith my hand l. im waiting for our weather to get better so i can take some outside(bubblelicious and northern lights auto) good luck, dont overthink just keep researching and learn from each grow!!!

Its more than a good idea, its a must. If you dont you are just guessing. You need to know what a dry pot and a wet pot feel like.

Clones need misting more so than a seedling. Seedlings would actually prefer to get their water through their roots. Veryyyy light mist is ok if your environment is pretty dry. But it's really not necessary once they sprout leaves.
If you really pay your girls attention you will notice they droop 3 times and all 3 are ever so slightly different from each other. Those times are 1.) When they're thirsty. 2.) When they're being drowned with too much water(roots can't get air). and last but not least.... 3.) RIGHT BEFORE LIGHTS OUT lol! That would explain why it's fine during the day, and droopy at night for no explained reason. They do have an internal clock and they do know when it's time to wind down.

So today came in my 2cfl’s! x2 120w 6.400k. I put only one for now cause fuck so much heat..
Call me stupid I didn’t know but they are enormous huge I mean like 5inches height!! How close should I have them?? I also read somewhere that CFLs doesn’t burn when u touch them but fuck that, it’s burning and I can’t touch the bulb for more than 5 seconds. Will buy today also a small ventilator cause damn I know I need it. Opened the box after 5minutes with the bulb inside and whoosh hot air came out.. its frustrating

Youll want to keep that bulb at least a few inches away. A reflector would be a good addition. and yes, you WILL need to circulate fresh air through your grow box 24/7. I would also highly recommend a tent. Small ones are crazy cheap and you could skip the reflector because the walls and ceiling of tents are reflective.
@JoeBlow5823 hey joe!! New update!!
-160cm tall tend with Mylar
-a medium vent looking up
-x2 120w cfl 6.400.
Unfortunately no filter.
The whole tent is a DIY fabric wardrobe..
Planning in fall to buy a real tent with all the goodies. I leave all the balcony doors open so fresh air comes in and out all the time, also leaving the zip from the tent 1meter open so the tent can breathe. Should I make also a few holes?
I know the whole DIY is embarrassing but it’s something. Bought also CalMag, should I use it now or wait till plant give me signs needing it?
Thank you and greetings from my dwarf

Hey Hawaii
We all start somewhere..good job.
When putting together your setup, I would suggest lighting upgrades over tent options if you're concerned about budget...When you're in flowering, red spectrum light will be more important.
Additionally, smooth surfaces that reflect and focus wasted light on your plant will be a plus...tinfoil can be used as a cheap option to help there.
Cheers

What size is that wardrobe?
@randallb tent size is 160x40x60. Enough to get thru the first grow w one plant I think, later in fall I will buy me a real one with all the goodies
@MrToad69 Plant is now 24days old I’m gonna try push it as long as I can in the veg stage and in 10-14 days I will buy another x2 120w fcl but 2.700 for flower. Should I add them all together (so max 480w)? Or use only x2 120w 2.700?
I got some more lines of Mylar that I cut off so maybe I’m gonna put those (up or down?) probably down below the plant.
