First time with autoflowers and they seem to suck generally

I never understood how transplanting "hurts the roots" anyway. I can take a plant in an out of its starter pot 100 times a day if needed. It's a pretty trivial action.

Remove from pot, put in fresh hole. Done.

It is what happens if you fuck it up. I dropped a seeding the other day, complete accident. It was a photo in veg. It is recovering, whilst that is happening the others are shooting ahead. Another few days and it will be fine again. If that had been an Auto then 10% of it's total growing time will be gone.

That said the best weed I ever grew was an Auto and I am going to put on some THC/CBD hybrid Autos next week.
 
Frank, in general your tents are way cleaner/neater and better controlled than they used to be and I think your plants also look better. I know you've put some effort into all of that. Are you finding better success these days?
I still have ups and downs growing,and there are things that I probably won't ever get,as far as the whole science of this stuff, but I'm doing better,at least I think so...
 
Lil update on the auto. The one plant that flowered early is about ready for harvest in a few weeks. The other plants are still preflowering. Also my one hasn’t even shown signs of switching yet making hate not being able to control the cycle.

Let's step into the wayback machine for a valuable lesson...

I wouldn't Chalk it all up to grower inexperience because my last couple grows were pretty great. Also if you check all the photos you can see the other 3 plants are doing better.. Each plant is a different strain from different breeders. I have a good feeling about 2 of them and I feel Like the other two will be lackluster. Cant wait to finish’s so I can start on some better genetics View attachment 5217702 picture of my last grow for reference of my skill
 
So overall, I have a whole bunch of different opinions on auto flowers. Currently one of my auto flower still has not flowered but it’s growing massive and I’m not sure what to do about it but my other three have already flowered and they are looking amazing. One flower way too soon, but it’s all purple.

Did that giant ever end up flowering and finishing?
 
For anyone curious I harvested all the plants but this one. It has gotten huge.loooks like it’ll be another month. Was planning on getting a new grow going but this plant has effected that
