That's not horrible for 12 days. Is that day 12 from planting? Or when it popped up? Make sure it has good drainage and is getting enough sun.

It looks fine for it's age, as for the "rope" make a loop don't tie a knot around the stem, my .02 cents ;)

It's not tied n a knot, it's just tied loosely so it will repair itself. I read somewhere that short riders don't like 2 b transplanted so I started out n the big pot so I don't have any problems with her.

It's much better to start in smaller pots for many reasons. Always start in smaller pots. no plant's root system like to be moved, but use alittle super-thrive when replanting and i don't have any stress problems. smaller pots have the benefit of drying out more often and taking less water/nutrients. It saves you money and is much better for the plant. soil that stays wet stresses out the plant and has more fungus and bug larvae issues, plus to water the whole pot with nutrients costs more money than a smaller pot. The plant wants the soil to dry pretty often. it looks pretty good though. i'd put the pot/bag on a grate or piece of fencing...this will allow the air to move under the bag and help it to dry out faster so the plant will stay healthy. good luck buddy

You are right, most autoflower strains don't respond well to topping and transplanting, it will stunt the growth while the plant heals. I think that size bag is fine as long as you are not having drainage issues.

No drainage problems and she looks pretty healthy so far, just hoping that she starts growing more. I got 6-12-6 fertilizer spikes in there so hopefully she'll like it.

She's been outside from the start. I guess I really more or less want 2 make sure I'm doing everything right. I think she's looking good 4 my first grow.

Having a major problem with my second short rider seedling, I put a little piss n the pot 2 help her grow and now she's limp. Is it over 4 her life?
