9 days in. Being patient. Just wondering.

Based on what I'm reading. These are not growing right. First grow...these are autoflowers.

Opinions?

Starting seeds in pots that large is going to make it extremely hard for a first time grower to water correctly. It's best to start them in small containers and up pot once they get bigger. Don't soak the entire pot until they get bigger. GL

Looks like you're watering just fine to me. Autos should be grown in the final pot anyways. They look good.

Perpetuating the bro science myth that autos should be started in their final pot is why people still do it.

Ok. Start your autos in solo cups. Whatever floats your boat.

I grew an auto flower once. It was tiny and disappointing but it was fairly bomb. I maybe got a half oz from it. Try watering less, that's alot of soil for those tiny plants. Maybe water more towards the outer edge of the pots so those roots reach instead of drown. But keep in mind I haven't grown in years so I'm definitely an expert.

I start all my plants in starter pots. Thanks, will do. Funny how none of them turn out 12 inches tall like 90% of the autoflowers you see posted on here too. So weird.

It's all in the skill of the grower. Not the planter.

Even Mephisto, who only sells autos, recommends starting in a solo cup.
Just sayin.

Agreed.........that's the exact reason why beginners shouldn't start with autos.

Starting a plant in a huge pot didn't promote proper rootball growth

Okay so I love the debates guys. Remember we all here for the same objective. No reason to pissing match over the small stuff

So I'm seeing from comments u guys dnt see any stunted growth rates in 9 days per ur experience and I trust that.


I will say it is definitely not over water. I have gave them like a 2 second spray with a pump spray every other day. I was posting question underwatering and u guys have agreed that's probably not the issue.

I didn't give much information for the reason of free thought.

The pots are 3 gallon and I'm willing to defiantly try the cup method and see the difference on the next run.

Thanks guys. Good info will keep trucking.

Just a tip, don't do that in the future if you are actually having a problem with your plants. You'll want to give all relevant grow information to fix the issue rather than trying to play the guessing game.

 

[twentyeight.threefive]

But yes overall for 9 days I'd consider them quite small.
