Blunt Blowin's 1st Grow-CFL+MG organic

So, update for my girl's 3 week birthday! I transplanted a couple of days ago, and so far so good. I think it took it ok, there seems to be no signs of it dying so thats good, lol. I increased the lighting today from 3 26watt cfls to 4 26watt cfls. The temp in the room is a little over 85...a bit high, but I am going to buy a fan and place in there real soon. Hmmm, what else....Oh yeah, I admit it, I added a tiny bit, I'm talking about 5 or 6 tiny drops, of superthrive to RO water, then watered the new pot/soil with that mixture on the day of the transplant. No water since....

Well its 3 weeks old today, and its only about 3" tall. I'm hoping for more growth to start soon, but even though new leaves are coming in, I think it is a little small right now...is my plant ok or is its size fairly normal? Well, here are some pics of the girl....as always, drop some advice and suggestions my way

Happy 3rd week alive Birthday to your baby....It seems like just yesterday she was a tiny baby sprout YAY for more lights I think size depends a lot on if you are happy with how she is growing...Lookin good to me seeing all she's been through ya kno? I'm happy to see new growth and she prob didn't mind the few drops

So, my girl is starting to get comfortable in her new home, there is all sorts of new growth coming along....I went out of town for about 3 days over the weekend; I made sure to give her a little water right before I left which was Thursday night. No water since, probably will water tomorrow....anyways, she is looking pretty good...pics to come soon!

YAY Blunt...can't wait to see her

Well here is the plant on day 29 of her life...I think she is looking good. It is squatty w/ a lot of leaves starting to come in. I also lowered the lights about an inch or two a few days ago to about 3-4" above the plant and today I added the final two bulbs. This brings my total wattage to 156 watts...I have 4 6500k bulbs and 2 2700k bulbs going now...I will switch to 4 2700k/2 6500k once it begins flowering.

Question though. Would it be a good idea to lst this plant or do i just need to let it grow?? With it being an autoflowering strain, I'm under the impression that the more stress these strains receive the more the yield is affected. I want to increase my potential for yield as much as possible, but I don't want to stress it too much so that it affects the end result. Thoughts??

Enjoy the pics and throw some feedback my way!

She looks like a good candidate for some lst to me....but I've never done it myself....I'd go and ask some of the lst guys who use cfl's and see what they think Good luck though...I'll be here to see how you both do

Blunt whats going on, yea with auto flowers your really dont want to lst very hard, if you did do lst the only thing that you could do would be to spread the branches once they get long enough to hold them in place for airfow, as far as tying it down trying to get the auxins to flow elsewhere not a good idea. The main thing with autoflowers to effect yield is pot size(more root room), and lights(better penetration) bro. G/L.
