It could be stress related possibly? That's the reason why I won't grow autos because you just never know when they are going to flower. And if they flower early then you will end up with a reduced yield. Plus most of the best genetics in the world is always photoperiod and not autoflowering. I've never seen a Cali strain that is an autoflower. Let's just say that

Picture?
Ive seen plants flower at 6 inches. They were volunteer seeds growing in terrible soil.

Sorry to hear about your experience with autos ive had a couple over the years flower to early its always because of stress but you should definately try again i grow photoperiod and autos here is a 3x3 currently with 3 strawberry cheese autos and 2 bruce banner i like to have a perpetual auto grow through the year while i wait for my photos to finish. With a bit of experience you can get good yeilds and a nice selection of variety in the garden

It could have been a dwarf auto. Although, dwarf autos usually reach at least a foot in height, before flowering.
Grow some photoperiod strains. Keep a mother plant, and flower the clones. Its the best method.

You must have severely stunted them. From mid March to now you should be more like 2 feet tall. When it comes to age that's not bad timing to start flowering. What you did to only get 4 inches in 45 days or so is the issue, could have been a runt, but my money is on too cold and probably too wet of soil.
Try again with better temps or go with photoperiod, you'll ruin a photoperiod too if they have a terrible start.

Great pics Wowsers ! When you say stress? Could it be triggered by cold temps?

Definately! low temps during the first 3 to 4 weeks can be devistating for autos and photoperiod as well. All cannibas thrives in warm temps. I'll germinate at 28 to 30 degrees then 26 to 28 till mid flower then 26 tapreing down as low as 22 degrees late flower /maturing ie last 2 weeks.

These little sour diesel autos are 2 days old and i am stuggling to get temps up to 28 without losing my high humidity i start them under a t5 ill have a seedling mat hung on the tent wall and an oil heater in the lung room. Southern oz is starting to cool down this time of year. High humidity plays an important role at the start as well. Controling enviroment is a bich sometimes sometimes near enough is good enough.

Another thing to consider is the medium chosen here is a side by side i did with two same strain autos plant on the left is in 70/30 coco/perlite plant on the right is in a peat based potting mix both at 91 days. In my experience coco is the better medium for autos or dwc would be ideal.

Getting rootbound can trigger autos to flower
