Auto with delayed start, potential yield?

This Godfather OG Auto started with just cotyledons for like a week n half. Then it sprouted 2 main stems with odd leaf structure. Anyways it's pretty much out grown the odd leaves, is maybe 10" tall, already showing flowers at the end of week 3. What could I expect yield wise? Half O? Or do autos grow a good bit during beginning flowering?
EDIT: she was just watered a half gallon probably 20 to 30 minutes before the pictures, hence the droop.

Doesnt look happy tbh, this looks like poorly dialed in environment. Saggy leave means no tranpiration/drinking which means low nute uptake. You likely need higher temps. The start is less relevant than this.
You want your leaves to have a boner:

Sorry I should've noted she was almost gone dry and I'd just watered half gal with big bloom and half dose of tiger bloom maybe 20 minutes before the picture. They're more at attention this morning but not quite praying. Also temps are always 70-76, rh 45-57. I'll throw up another this evening.

I guess a better question is have any of you auto growers had the misfortune of stunted growth and what were your yields. Like I said, baby didn't grow for 11 days after cotyledons appeared.

There just isnt any way of really having an idea of that. If you continue insisting youll find someone shows up and answer 'bout a pound' true to forum tradition. If youre worried about yield pop another seed in there and see how the 2 goes.
But us from here cannot make your worries go away and give an honest and precise answer. How could we know if we stunted the same? And what youll do during the rest of the grow? Nobody can tell you the future:) just let it ride and why not another seed?

Wouldn't say worried - little bummed, but it's just another learning experience!:cool: And another reason I might stick to just photos in the future. Seeds are 11-15$ a pop and for me that's not cheap. If she'd been a photo, that little stagnant birth wouldn't have mattered lol I also don't have another tent and it's shared.

I'm no longer asking for a guess btw, just conversing.

Nice to see she already got a sister around. They both look a bit better than on first pics. Maybe bring up the temps a little bit, if you can slow extraction would be better. Rh could be a bit higher aswell this is veg still.
Theres really no point in guessing until you see first sings of flowers, thats when you can start speculate. But at that point what do you do, kick her out? No matter what youll have to wait for finish and at least youll have 2 phenos anyways.

Lol that's just it, she already has stigmas at every site. I'm imagining whatever those wild folks manage in a 16oz red cup is what I should expect lol

She's doing fairly well! Here's a shot before this 3 day weekend trip. Excited to see the growth when I get back tomorrow evening!

Fair play man!! They recovered very nicely and still healthy!

autos will show flower early but they have a good 2-3 week stretch phase when flower starts.

Should have yourself a few ounces in total!

P.S The plant on the left could do with a light defoliation. Basically any budsites under leaves should be exposed to the light for better density/potency

I had lightly defoliated just last week because those 2nd node down budsites were covered. Then with that last pic I noticed the 3rd node downs I didn't remove earlier in the grow, were now reaching the canopy but covered. I'll defoliate tomorrow morn and water again. Here's tonight after I got home

I got home just minutes before the lights were clicking off, so this is my first time looking at the fan leaves for any symptoms. I'm pretty tickled!!!

This will be the last post in this thread from me. Grow journal with these babies is here:

1 BubbleGum Sherb Auto, 1 Godfather OG Photo

Week 6| Day 36 Decided I didn't have enough flexible wire to tie the LST photo down how I wanted. So made a scrog. First pic is right after bending into the scrog and watering 1/2 gal. Feed was 1/3 milk and tsp of FF Big Bloom. Figured regular FF dose knocks pH of tap to like 2.8. So another...
