Is this much Stretch normal in a UK greenhouse?

Hi Guys
I've got a Feminized Auto Berry (Ready in 6 Weeks) from Marijuana-seeds.nl growing in my greenhouse at the moment (it's a Lowryder that has been crossed with a mix of Blueberry and Grapefruit so it says on their webpage) and i've had to leave it to it's own devices since the 15th July when it popped it head above soil due to my dog being ill.

My dog sadly passed away on Thursday (6th Aug.) and on Friday morning i went into the greenhouse expecting to be throwing loads of dead plants away But Everything is Still alive Including my Auto Berry and 8 Foot Tall Feminized GDP & her Clone. :o

I don't know if this is Luck, the Welsh Weather (UK) or my loving Rottie looking down on me but i could really do with some advice if one of you guys has grown one of these Auto Berry's.

I'm growing in some Homebase Soil (Big UK Store) with Vermiculite/Perlite (Approx 65% Soil 35% Ver/Per) and overwatered her when she was put into her final pot a week after she popped her head up.
She started in this Coconut Husk type pot (this is her on the 15th July)20150715_183411[1].jpg
And this is her taken on Fri 7th Aug (24 Days Old)20150807_175704.jpg 20150807_175656.jpg

Is it normal for these Auto Berrys to stretch so much in their first few weeks as she's around 10-12" tall at the monent?
Or would you say this is down to our Not so Sunny Weather here in Sunny North Wales (UK)?
I've been growing Photo MJ for years now and have Never had one stretch this much outside but this is my First time with Auto's so any advice would be very much appreciated.

Ps.
Up untill Friday she hadn't had any fert's (only plane tap water left for 48 Hrs before using).
Friday evening she had Half a Litre of 1/3 strength of BioBiz Bloom
and i plan to LST her when i get a chance this week some time.

Autos in my opinion have very random genetic tendencies. Even from the best of the best breeders like Dinafem I've seen lots of variation even in the same pack of seeds. Although, I'll tell you Dinafem has the best genes I personally have ever tried. I've hardly tried all of the genes. Sometimes they start off stretched all to hades and may end up short and wide. Who knows, I have never tried your strain tho.

Sorry about your dog man. I totally understand. I lost my 16 1/2 year old pound dog Monday. He was old and tired and I've been expecting it for some time. I prayed God would handle this for me since, some months ago and more than once I had to nurse him through seizure/stroke like illness. He passed in his sleep.

God Bless bro and perhaps our dogs are playing together with young bodies again in the afterlife.

I wouldn't worry too much about the stretch, GowUrOwnDank pretty much said it. I understand about your dog man, sorry about your loss.. I had to have an old friend put down earlier this year. He was just too old. He's resting in the pasture now but I sure miss the conversations we had. He talked a lot since he was part lab and that breed shows that tendency a lot.

I'm very sorry to hear you lost your best friend and really hope they are playing together without a care in the world.
My Mother and I drove my dog to the Vets and i was only gone for 45 Seconds at the most to fetch the Vet to help get her out of the car (I'm disabled you see) and in the time i was gone she slipped away with my Mother holding her. She was only 9 and a half Years old but would have been with me for 6 Years this coming Thursday.
I know how gutted you must feel but at least they arn't going to suffer any more.
RIP Our Best Friends to the end :hug:

Many thanks Choo and i'm sorry to hear about your best friend also.
A friend of mine had a Choc Lab many years ago that also used to have full blown conversations with him which we used to find hilarious.
I thought it was a one of a kind sort of thing untill i got my Rottie as we used to have full blown conversations in front of guests who would fall about laughing at her and me for encouraging her to express herself lol..
