I started 3 autos indoors on 8 CFL's. in 5 gallon pots. I kinda figured earlier they werent growing correctly, I couldn't figure why. I felt it was a combination of heat and maybe the soil. I was advised not to transplant autos due to that shock would stop growth in its tracks. So I decided to finish the plants outside buy digging holes and putting the pots in the ground. Well they actually began to grow better (if you can believe it). But this is what we got, they looked like 5 day old seedlings after three weeks, before I moved them outdoors. I'm using organic nutrients, which because of their age I had no mercy on them and fed them a small amount of vegging fertilizer at half strength, and they are doing better, Though one of the plants is beginning to flower, which is about 6 inches tall, and was always slightly larger then the other two, which are in the picture. I have two questions for these plants. I believe the soil was the issue because, I have two other plants growing indoors with new soil and they are growing great.
1. on my 6 inch plant that is beginning to flower, should I feed another 1/2 dose of vegging fertilizer this week to get a little more size and switch to flowering the next or should I start flowering nutes this week?
2. On my 2 inch plants (in the picture) should I take the advice and not transplant the auto or should I transplant in new soil? Or should I just let them be? These plants are showing no signs of sex (feminized seeds).
