I would really think about scrapping any “ runtz “ , as they often prosper into good plants. Wonky early leaf sets happen. Especially as they become acclimated to their host medium.

Early flowering happens with autos sometimes - ran a gsc auto and it threw “ sex maturity “ ( first pistils ) at Day 22. Kept it and it became my largest of 3 sister plants.

Do you use any mycos ( great white) for transplant
I've used Great White for years. Now I tend to use that at transplant, and then ReCharge a couple of times during the run. As a side note, it is possible to use too much of that stuff, so follow the labels.

But just for a reality check here, while my outdoor auto grows have been successful enough, I have yet to grow an indoor auto remotely resembling impressive, so take my advice/experience with a grain of salt. I got pretty good with photos, I have not reached that level with autos yet.

All doing well except for the one! The cream cookie in the small red solo cup has strong growth for only 7 days old so I think I will be replacing the crap one for her in a few days!

Hey I got a question, I bought some autos and was wondering how they would grow without I.R. I was going to run them in the summer and would like to save a little on electric

Well nearly 20 hours after transplant and she is still growing so it looks like 0 shock!!
I think transplanting shock is simply rough handling (damaging roots) or the more common overwatering the plant in the new container during the transplant.

I personally moisten the soil with 25% water on a tray then pot up. On water day for the plant about to be transplanted I do it then and water in 25% previous pot volume.

Works every time with nae drooping

All I did was watered the main pot just to moisten it then dug the hole put the plant in and back filled lightly pressing, I didn’t water the root ball at all after putting in the hole . The plants rootball was nearly dry so my theory was that the roots would look for the water and spread out!

They do but be careful that doesn’t dry out too much before the rest of the soil. Because there’s more roots in that centre mass they’ll drink it quicker.

Tbh all you usually get is a few brown spots from pH fluctuations which sort themselves out after time. But just something I noticed - also they always have a growth spurt after a watering so I like to give them watering initially then forget about it for 7-10 days.

Luckily I had a big bottle of the same water I have been using for all the plants so the ph should be exactly the same!

I thought the moisture would draw into the rootball from the surrounding soil!
It does to a point. Just depends on how dry it was before transplanting.

Any wilting signs then just give it like 200ml of water in a ring around The transplant hole.

Should be sound tho!

She hasn’t even flinched from the transplant and still growing the fastest day 11 for the small girls!
I always transplant if the final container is bigger than like 5-6l

They always explode in growth. It’s like they can sense for space and go nuts. It’s also when I give them a boost of humid acid!!

here’s a week after transplanting this frail little guy.
