Auto-Flower stunted growth.

your not wasting time if u are learning something ....with growing there are so many varibles it is actually fun ( all those ppl that play those complex card games and rpgs and all that it just set of unknown varibles u have to solve to progress to next lvl this is the same thing but if u do not keep notes well u are doomed to repeat same mistakes over and over and over this is the whole point of history and reacord keeping ) .........sorry i nerded out on yah but learning is good i see some stoners here are not complete assholes/douchbags so please keep learning ..........look aat it this way u have a very speical plant and a rare chance to learn from it in your growing skill set use it


figured it out it is like sex we all suck at it the first few times untill we learn the tricks and what we like so ..........i am taken a bong hit to that that was little genius i feel

if the soil is too wet during the seedling/veg stage it slows growth to almost a stand still
honestly at this point its probably a lost cause

if you let it dry out it may finish with a dime or a quarter i mean all hope is not lost
but imo time is money and with that plant you will get very little reward

i want to see the effect of the co2 water if the thoery is right it should cuase it to start to strech

I ended up just getting rid of it. The one day I actually pulled it out of its pot to check out the root system and there was barely anything to it so it wasn't going to get much bigger. I don't even think I got a gram from it but dam did it smell like some really good shit. Smelled like coffee and even tasted like it.

I really appreciate all the help everyone gave me even though I don't think there was really anything I could have done. In my opinion I just think I got a bad seed because all of my other plants are doing perfectly fine.

some places offer u money back or a new seed if u can prove the one they sent failed do to something they did

it is a method of getting sales and repeat ppl plus good word of mouth ......u can check with the seed bank u got from or the actual supplier of the seed (what ever brand/farm ) they want the good word to get out so it might be a option if u got some time to kill

Recently had Buddha seeds auto fem that did the same thing. Out of ten only 1 was viable. I do agree that transplanting sucks however do what you can at the sprout stage to keep from A. overwatering and B. Stressing it at all. those two things I found take a plant from a 28" finish to a 8 inch finish every time I've fucked one stage up that is what happen...sorry for your loss.

I personally never bought the seed. I knew the person that did and so we made a deal so I could get the strain. And even if I did buy the seed I would honestly never probably try to get my money back because I would just be to worried about having to prove it and get in trouble in the process. Not worth it to me.

And in my first grow with one plant I did actually make the mistake of watering it too much and ended up just killing it. So I like to think I know better now not to do that and trust me my plants are never really under ANY stress. Their in good soil, get nutrients in their water, lights are on a timer that doesn't change, a little bit of air flow but nothing directly on them and the room never gets too hot or too cold.

Question. Why are you putting the plants on a 12/12 cycle, when they are AUTO flowering?...

12/12 is not uncommon with auto's alot of breeders call for it to bring out the best bud structure

your better off buddy why waste hard earned money
have you tried afghan kush ryder
ive found a few of there pheno's that smell like burnt coffee while growing they grow really well and easy for the most part
if i could suggest a few
i would say barneys sweet tooth auto easy grow good smoke high yield even for first time ever growers
dinafem amnesia auto best sativa dominant i have found 1 hitter shit when you first start smoking it
i recently got some freebies from herbies figured they would be a joke as most usually are but i am really impressed
enough that i ordered random auto's from that breeder for the next round
delicious la frutta di venus
its very low odor
and i can say its going to be some killer smoke broke a branch when i was getting it under the scrog and at maybe 2.5 weeks of flower a bowl got me and my old lady baked
and we both are some experienced smokers
ohh and it gets medium to large from what ive seen smells like dirty socks soaked in old pineapples
very easy to hide the odor

I have the same problem only with three autos I have.... only mines are like 3 in tall have about thir 4th set of leaves coming out and have yet to flower.
will they flower? also I had to transplant them three times as my dog fucked up my pots (plants still lived) that the plants were in. also im aware that this probably cause server trauma to my plants so im not surprised by thir small growth this was my first auto grow and I learned a lot from all my mistakes.... ps I got rid of the dog.

Man best suggestion ever! I had the same issue with mine and found this super old thread, Anyways I tried it at first I was concerned about the ph of the seltzer being 5.5 but I said fuck it cause it’s last resort and man did it work leaves perked right back up for the first time since seedling stage it is now growing and looks to have halted the bud development and focusing back on vegetation. And yes the cause of the stunted growth was from overwatering as a seedling. Anyways seltzer water really worked and I’m glad you took the time to comment and help! Thank you!

Same thing happend to me with an auto, ended up with 7g. about 8" tall with 5 stems. leaves were tinyyyy

I think they are really old, and super low quality seeds.

I have had Gorilla Glue Auto-Flower seeds before from GrowersChoiceSeeds based in the USA, and all 5 seeds took more than a week to germinate, and had stunted growth, or just wouldn't sprout, for 2 or 3 weeks, and all of them ended up dying.

Then I bought the same Gorilla Glue Auto-Flower strain, but from a different supplier in the UK called Seedsman I germinated 1 seed out of the 5+ 1 free that they sent me, and it sprouted in 1 day.
In 1.5 weeks it is looking healthy and growing at a pretty rapid pace.

So I suggest going with a better seed supplier who actually makes tons of sales, and always has new inventory, instead of unpopular suppliers who stores unsold inventory for years.

This is the Gorilla Glue Auto-Flower seed that I got from Seedsman

Ive got a Auto White Widow from Pyramid Seeds around a week into flower , she stands 12" tall , her sisters are a good 15 and 25" taller. she looks just fine just on a tiny scale .... a Bonsai Widow

12/12 is the WORST light schedule to use on autos ...... why ?

Because you are dropping an “ already SHORT life with now a lower schedule “ .... autos LOVE light. The longer the cycle the better.
You should gave left the plants under 18/6 and not change anything. You have actually pressed on the brakes with it. Autos require less hovering than normal photo strains , lighter feeds , less handling .

During an untouched light schedule they actually kick into gear during the stretch phase of transition ( preflower ) .... some strains will blossom as they push for the end ... which is usually before 90 days ( except a few other “ super “ autos. ). Ryder strains do favor a shorter height sometimes but others will grow up to 4 feet or more without much effort. Problems in stunting are always growers error.

Vanilla Ice is Seed to Weed in 60 days 18 hrs light ..you can set your clock to this auto
